Guest guest Posted June 27, 2003 Report Share Posted June 27, 2003 Ok, since my MIL is stuck in apathy land, or you all know it as brain fog, I called her to get a list of symptoms from her. I have sent her the name of a top doc whose office is right down the road from her but she is too spacey to call. Her main complaint is tiredness and dizziness. Like light-headedness. She gets weak kneed. I guess it appears like low blood sugar and she quick eats something but it never fixes it completely. She feel as if she better sit down or she may faint. She bought a glucose machine and tested her blood sugar 4-5 hours after eating and right after eating a few ritz crackers adn it was 108. She said that was in the normal range. She also mentioned antsy legs. I know I have heard what vitamin deficiency causes this but can not remember what it was. She has normal cholesterol. In the winter she has extreme pain with cold. It brings her to tears, even in the house she can not warm her fingers. She has constant joint pain. But did not mention it as one of her symptoms until I asked. She assumed it was because she is getting older and must have arthritis. She said it is a dull ache, perhaps muscular, she can not tell. Mostly in her elbows, knees, shoulders and HIPS! She says her hips burn almost constantly and especially if she has laid on her side. What do you all think? in AZ Mom to Jenna(7), (7), (5), (4), Junie(2), Jillian (5 months) and (3) & Duane(2) during regular business hours. http://members.cox.net/bettendorf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
