I keep running into walls on this, is there someone out there who could help lead me in the right direction?
I’ve had these problems as a child, would shake when hungry. Drs thought then I had hypoglycemia. I haven’t questioned things since the diag of Begnin Essential Tremor, just knew when I get sick its time to eat. I forgot to bring food to work recently and got very sick. I looked at a man crossing the street and it looked like he skipped frames. It sounded like someone turned the volume all the way down & I got really dizzy. Last night my moods were ALL over the place, I started crying then after I ate I got happy for a short time. Then I felt everything plummet and I was a millisecond away from blacking out. Today I didn’t get any better, the dr advised me to go to ER (my fiance said it looked like I was deteriorating). They did a random sugar test w/a home device(1.5hrs after a big bowl of turkey chilli w/soycheese)and it showed 94. Always thirsty, cannot drink enough water. Hungry EVERY 2 hours or I feel faint. The older I get, the sicker I get. I keep responding less to food.
My dr told me to get a book on hypoglycemia (to learn how to control my sick spells better). They had a story in there of a girl who was always exhausted, depressed, couldn’t hold a job, lost motivation, would get sick & drs said tests showed she was normal, she believed it was nothing and refused to change her diet, and she would constantly get bronchitis/asthma. All the signs she showed were me in every essence. I had bronchitis 3 or 4 times from childhood to 19, and after I developed asthma all the nurses in my pediatrition’s office, saw me so much, they called me “the asthma child”. My new dr is putting me through a 5hr glucose test in a few days. The ER dr said he thought everything will come back normal. He couldn’t even answer what this could be. I was diag w/ADD, but after I traded bad for healthy food (& workout 3-6x a week), it practically went away. You know your body, and I know something is not fully right. Its such a struggle to get actual help.
