I 've been reading this forum for a while now and I notice that most of you have multiple symptoms that you're dealing with...Which now has me wondering.
I've recently been diagnosed with reactive hypoglycemia. This came after visiting an endo once, telling her my symptons, and then giving her my blood sugar counts over a few days (never too high or low).
I've had my symptom (singular) for about 15 years. Basically my brain shuts down, and when I eat I feel better. When I say shut down, I can barely have a conversation with somebody. I pretty much turn into a zombie. If I eat a burger or pizza I actually feel a high. My brain starts processing thoughts at what feels like warp speed. I usually exist eating many smaller meals throughout the day which usually doesn't get me that high, but at least lets me stay somewhat functional. So my life is 1/3 feeling great, 1/3 getting by, and 1/3 zombie like just looking for that next meal.
I don't have any other symtoms at all...But here's one more thing i'd like to run by you all. Any kind of stressful situation excellerates the process. If i'm at a middle point and I run into something that I see as stressful in any way, I can almost feel by brain shutting down. If i'm shut down and I eat something significant, I get that high back in 30 seconds.
So i'm wondering if anybody has heard of someone having just that one symptom, and if stress (even running into an old friend and having a conversation)(especially a girl) has excellerated any of your symtoms.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
