Confusing Results of a Hypoglycemia Test...help!! Posted: 12-26-05 20:17pm
I am 20 years old and beginning in grade
school I would feel sick to my stomach.
People thought I was making up my illness
to get out of class. Now at 20 I have had
two diagnosises that are controdictory.
This has also been hampered by the fact
thati am diagnosed with social anxiety
disorder.
I got worse while I was in junior high and
high school, and I would frequent the
nurse. When I was diagnosed with anxiety,
I thought that was my reason. I am on
medication, pexeva, and my anxiety
symptoms are all but gone but I have more
problems.
Here it is: I occationally get really
sick. I will be shaky and I will feel
like my brain is cloudy. I have gotton to
the point where my speech was slurred. I
will sweat a lot and my hends tremble too.
Then when I eat, I feel better but I feel
like I have after affects. I cannot eat
sugar because when I do that I feel worse,
even with juices. If I get really sick, I
am out for the day with the after affects.
I had a glucose tolerence test run when I
presented my doctor with these symptoms
and my thoery of hypoglycemia (this thoery
was given to me by my aunt sharon who is a
registered nurse). I took the test and my
glucoe registered a 47 at it's lowest
point but they stopped the tst because I
got very "weird" and because my speech was
slurring. I cannot eat breakfast in the
morning because I feel sick when I do eat
and then I feel like my symptoms come all
at onc after I eat.
Here's the last parts of my problem:
after the glucose tolerance test came back
positive for hypoglycemia, I was sent to a
endocrinologist, who gave me a 24hr in
office fasting glucose tolerance test. My
results were normal. He told me then that
I did not have hypoglycemia and that it
may be "neurological". I was very
embarrassed considering the fact that I am
diagnosed with an anxiety disorder.
There was also an incident when I was
volunterring at the hospital. I had only
eaten a doughnut and then I ran around for
a few hours getting people across the
hospital and back. I felt aweful. I went
in back and rested, and after feeding me
juice with extra sugar added, I felt so
aweful they took me to the er just
upstairs. I felt nervous and I got an
adrenaline rush. When I got up there I
felt better and my glucose test, from a
finger prick, was normal.
I am now confused. I know I have symptoms
but with two doctors telling em sifferent
and two tests giving me different stories,
I am confused and desperate for an answer.
If anyone knows anything, please, please
help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :?: :?: :?:

Hhahahahaa!!!!! Neurological? These
people have no clue. Let's remember
something here. The brain needs sugar in
order to function. It uses about 1/3 of
the amount you give it when you're just
sitting around. Your anxiety is stemming
solely from this, I guarentee it. The
first test pretty much proved you have it
and I can't believe the one guy gave you
the other one and assumed it was all in
your head. That's a bunch of crap.
Never, ever see him again. The best way
to know for sure is to change your diet.
Cut out all sugar and even complex
carbohydrates for about 20 days. If you
notice improvement, even if it's just a
bit, you have it. Symptoms may actually
get better for a day or two, worse, and
then ease up. That's the normal run.
Follow this diet. Http://www.Guaidoc.Co
m/research_hgdiet.Htm the "strict"
one in particular, avoiding the fruit.
For fruit, eat just a bit of an avocado
with every meal and eat six a day, one
every two hours. If up a bit longer, eat
before sleeping. A bit of avocado is
like 1/6 of a half.
