Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Sounds just like hypoglycemia to me with shakes, huge thirst & all afterwards too. Too many carbs & rich sweet dessert for lunch would definitely do that to me too. So that kind of eating is a big no-no for me. Even if I eat a sandwich (bread) I get very sleepy & weak. So I don't do that when out eating only at home so I can go lie down & take a nap or go right to bed for the night afterward. I make sure I drink lots & lots of water, amongh taking/drinking other things, every day too. I all helps to keep my blood sugar as normal as possible. I sure don't want it to go into diabetes which it CAN do if not controlled with proper diet. Caroline hypoglycemia I've begun to wonder if that is what I have been experiencing. Today, I went out to lunch with my husband, which is a treat as he isn't home much - so we went to Macaroni Grill. I had some bread with oil/pepper, a bit of his Caesar salad, 2/3 of my angel hair pasta with shrimp and crab in a tomato cheese sauce and then we shared Passion Lemon Cake - before I got through with my portion of the cake I had a " bathroom attack. " We then went driving around looking at properties. We had been doing this for about an hour when I had to make an EMERGENCY bath room stop. After that attack I was so out of it I could hardly drive the few miles home. " Plain drunk and falling asleep on my feet " is a good description. I pulled into our driveway - through the seat back - and passed out. Couldn't even go in the house. Is this hypoglycemia? Now I feel shaking, dehydrated, and nauseous. Jen R.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 I haven't ever had any problems with shellfish before, but I did eat cheese and bread which are on my no-no list right now.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 That is DEFINITELY hypoglycemia, " drunk and out of it " being a perfect description of it, with the sweating, nausea, dehydrated, sleepiness. The diahrea sounds more like food allergy. Hypoglycemia goes hand in hand with hypo sometimes. Insulin drifting around out there that won't go away because it can't put that amt of blood sugar into the cells, from cellular resistance and such. hypoglycemia > > I've begun to wonder if that is what I have been experiencing.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 I would like to emphasize on 's comments. I was severely hypoglycemic when hypo-thyroid. With enough of a high dosage of Armour, my symptoms are gone. I'm not graving food either. But when I'm hypo or too much hyper, I'm hungry all the time....
