So I went to the police stuff. Most went good, and the physical part is mon. on Staton Island. Found out I have diabetes and have to go see their "specialist", at the end of October. So while everyone else is advancing through(i met every requirement they had) I get to wait.

Did I mention that I do not have diabetes, all I have is a "condition" with the word diabetes in it? nephrogenic diabetes insipidus I have made it to the age of 22 with no problems. Take no medicine, just keep a low salt diet. They did not care when I tried to explain that I do not have diabetes.


I AM JUST PISSED OFF!!!!!!



Relax. Worst thing is to get angry. It's just bureaocracy (sp?). Patience pays off.

An inability to adequately concentrate your urine. Due to your kidneys not responding to antidiuretic hormone (ADH) produced by your pituitary gland. Likely next step will be a water-deprivation test, where you'll have water (and food) withheld for at least 12 hours and then serial urine samples will be checked to see if you are able to concentrate your urine.

This problem has nothing to do with diabetes melitus, the blood sugar problem.

Can already tell you the results. I will end up dehydrated. Just like when I had knee surgery, and wisdom teeth surgery. I cant go that long without fluids.

It is not so much that I am angry that they want to review it. Is was just the way the were dealing with it, and by making me wait so long to, it makes it very difficult to still make the next class. Plus when I actually go in to see the "specialist" he will have no idea about it. Only one doctor I have ever been to has even heard of it. He just happened to be the guy who delivered me, and also wrote his thesis paper on it in med. school. The paper which he says I have entirely made useless as I have proved the entire thing wrong.
