    I am a diabetic who has been taking metformin for a few years and was also diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and have been on several meds including methotrexate (off now) and losartin for blood pressure along with low dose aspirin daily.  I've had to deal with inverse psoriasis and I think yeast since I've had peeling skin (which I thought was psoriasis) and there is an odor and a "film" that comes back no matter how much I shower or bathe.  I am very tired and have been having problems walking due to calcium deposits in my heels which did not respond to steroid injection or the other medication my foot doctor prescribed.  The pain in my heels persists and keeps me from sleeping well and having a normal life...my dad and mom had diabetes also - mother also had emphysema, went into coma, was on breathing assistance, died at 51 due to enlarged heart, dad eventually diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma and passed at 71.  I am 65.  What should I watch out for ?  My son and grandchildren live with us and depend on me a lot.  Can't afford to take chances.
