Cannula reactions?

Does anyone have skin reactions to the Libre cannula? I also react to the glue and whatnot on the sensor but have mitigated that with antihistamine spray and tegaderm under the sensor. But by about day 6 I get super itchy/irritated under the sensor and when I eventually take it off, it’s always very red and irritated specifically where the cannula was inserted. I could typically tolerate it enough to get through the full wear cycle with the 2, but with the longer wear time with the 3, the itching is now too much to last the full 14 days and I end up needing to remove it around day 10 so I’m losing many days. I really like the smaller size of the 3 and the itching still was incredibly irritating with the 2 something back doesn’t make sense. Anyone deal with this/have any advice?! 😩 I don’t seem to react the same to the Dexcom but don’t have coverage for it unfortunately. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Rheumatologist

Wondering if anyone local has seen a rheumatologist to explore ME/CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome)? I have a whole bunch going on medically but my PCP is in Toronto so not familiar with local specialists. All the rheum offices here we’ve found specifically say they won’t see chronic fatigue. 🥴 So I am looking for any recommendations on who I can get a referral to…?! Would appreciate any insights!! TIA.
