I want my life back

Oct 22, 2009

I have been having issues with hypoglycemia since my hystorectomy.
I have been to the nutritionist, the endocronologist, and neither of them beleived me when I gave them my menu of what I eat in a day... insisting that I must be eating more carbs than I let on.... because I wouldn't be hypoglycemic of I was "behaving myself".

My GP seeing my frustration, put me on insulin sensitising medication which helps for a while.... Just when it seems like things are under control I attempt an exercise regimen and I am back to square one.


As a result my weight is up over 200 lbs again.
I wear an 18-20 and I *hate* being so fatigued all the time. It is nothing for me to sleep 10-12 hours in a night.... even at 300lbs I had more energy and was more active.

I have been having serious issues with memory loss and  constipation so severe that has only been aided by massive amounts of prescription medications. A colonoscopy was negative for any issues. My lab tests show I am on the lowest end of normal in my vitamin D level.   All of my other labs are great.  I have tested negative for a thyroid condition or autoimmune disease.

My Dr has scheduled me for an MRI next week.

I have a follow-up appointment with my surgeon next month. I am hoping that he has some idea of what could be happening to me, if my GP and I can't figure it out.  The question now, are my problems GBS related, or this was a problem I had previously and the surgery just agrivated everything?
