else posts some i'll add them to my list

My sleep is good at the moment, in the
early stages of my hypo when I didn't
realise what it was I never got any sleep
at all, prob 4 hours a night at most, was
always tossing and turning and itching,
but now its good.
I only get the sweat in my underarms,
thats the worst spot, huge patches of it
through out the day, but doesnt seem to
sweat at night.

It may be something in your diet that
you'll be eliminating in time. You might
need to just get some strong
anti-perspirants or something. At least
it's nothing too serious, i'd take
sweating to severe depression any day.
Does suck though, when i'd get it it was
usually only at night while sleeping.

I would like to add:
dizziness/vertigo - before I found this
forum and got myself back on track again,
I was in a constant state of dizziness.
Imagine driving to work like that, yeah,
is was fun :\
urgency - my very first symptom I noticed,
was the feeling of having to relieve my
bladder. I later found out that was an
extreme cry for help from my body, since I
ignored so many of other symptoms.
How would you describe that itchy,
over-sensitive sensation I had the other
day? Paresthesia?

known reason
fatigue

Constant state of diziness eh? That's
hard to imagine. I just spun around to
see what it would be like. Freaking
hell.

Tell me about it, stan. The only time I
got relief was when I went to sleep and
then I would only sleep for a couple of
hours, wake up and have to deal with the
derealization feeling. Yeah, fun times!
:shock:

Hey all, new to the forum. I know I have
hypoglycemia but am afraid to go see the
doctor :( doctors tend to misdiagnose
and I don't trust them fully. Here are my
symptom's.
Tired a lot, taking naps
lack of interest in everything I used to
enjoy
no energy, unless I eat something sugary
hungry much more often. I used to be able
to go a whold day without food
feeling faint unless I eat
break out in sweats when hungry
fuzzy head when hungry
can't concentrate or focus when hungry
almost pass out with too much exertion
anxiety
depression
i almost feel drunk 24/7, that sucks
headaches
fatigue
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
All this started about a year ago but the
depression and anxiety i've had off and on
for many years but more constant the last
3 years. I'm a 33 year old female who you
couldn't get to sit down and now you can't
get me to get up :cry: i'm a hard worker
and greatly recognised for it at work but
the complete opposite at home. I want my
life back! I feel like i'm dying :cry:

Mmatters, first let me say, you are not
dying. From your post, it does sound
like you have hypoglycemia. I understand
the mistrust of doctors, as I believe many
of us have been misdiagnosed as well.
You can go to a doctor and ask for a
glucose tolerance test. However, if that
is too much for you, try following stan's
diet, version 8. It's posted on this
board. If you start to feel better,
you're hypoglycemic. At the very least,
even something simple as staying away from
whites and sugar (hidden sugar is in many
things, so read label) can prove you're
hypoglycemic. No sugar = feeling better
then you have it.
Try to relax and let us know how you're
doing.

What do asthma and blurred vision have to
do with hypoglycemia? I have both of
those. My vision is where I cannot see
well far away. Do you think this has to
do w/ my hypoglycemia, or do I just have
bad eyes like anyone else?

Bravo tango,
many hypoglycemics experience shortness of
breath. As with blurred vision, I cannot
see from a distance either.
The reason for this? I think stan can
answer it better but hypoglycemia affects
the nervous system and when your sugar
levels are out of whack, you body starts
to "shut down" certain areas.
Did you look at the thread titled
"hypoglycemic quiz"? Those symptoms are
on there.

No, I don't think I have looked at it,
i'll look at it when I get a chance.
I was thinking about getting lasik sugery
in a few months. If my vision has
anything to do w/ my hypoglycemia, would
that cause any complications??

No, as far as I can assume, because the
problem isn't actually with the eyes, it's
the nerves in the eye. The lasik only
works on the cornea or whatever, making it
more adjusted, not the nerves.

If your blurry vision is pretty much
constant or happens for example, after a
day of staring into a computer, it's
probably not hypoglycemia. If you notice
for example, that your vision is only
blurry during certain times of the day and
you also experience some other symptoms
with it(fatigue, shakiness, etc) then it
maybe hypoglycemia

Sorry if this seems somewhat misinformed
but noone has mentioned hunger as a
symptom.
I was wondering if anyone actually gets
hungry? I dont tend to get hungry as in
starvation hungry, just crave like 4 bags
of crisps or a big bowl f pasta (stan - I
dont actually eat this may I add lol!)
so is hunger an actual symptom for anyone
or do you just eat to alleviate other
symptoms?
