📊 Weekly Recovery Summary

I’ve put together a summary table of my key lab results to show just how far my body has come since being on the brink of a life-threatening crisis. I ended up in the emergency room because I arrogantly assumed that "a little fatigue can be slept off." Seeing the trajectory of my recovery in hard numbers is mind-blowing even to me. Moving forward, I want to live in harmony with this condition, stay positive, and truly listen to my body's daily signals.

[My Path to Recovery: Key Lab Results]

【Analyzing My Weekly Summary】

• My blood sugar, which clocked in at a terrifying 828 mg/dL on the day of my admission, has successfully stabilized at a healthy 118 mg/dL in my latest labs.
• My CPK levels, which measure muscle damage, made a miraculous V-shaped recovery from a dangerous 11,806 U/L and are now safely back in the normal range.

【Analyzing My Daily Blood Glucose Profiles (AGP)】

• My kidney function (creatinine), which was crying out for help at a peak of 2.03 mg/dL, has beautifully stabilized in the safe zone at 0.89 mg/dL post-discharge.
• The tests I dreaded most—tumor markers (CA19-9) and IgG4 levels—have both come back officially "negative" during my recovery phase, letting me breathe a massive sigh of relief.

Lab Test	Admission Day (Peak Crisis)	Pre- to Post-Discharge	Latest (Recovery Phase)
Blood Sugar	828 mg/dL	137 mg/dL	118 mg/dL
HbA1c	7.1%	7.4%	7.0%
CPK (Muscle Damage)	11,806 U/L	58 U/L	Normal Range Maintained

A Final Thought: To My Past Self, Who Took Health for Granted

I ended up in the ER because I was incredibly arrogant about my body, believing that "a minor fever or feeling off can just be slept away."

When things go wrong inside your body, they often progress silently and without warning. To everyone reading this, please let my story be a cautionary tale: do not ignore your body’s subtle warning signs, and make sure to get regular checkups.

This marks the end of my chaotic "hospitalization and diagnosis" chapter. Moving forward, I plan to share positive updates on my daily life as I learn to live in harmony with this condition and build a healthier, more fulfilling future. Thank you all so much for your support!
