Hypoglycemia

"...If you think you may be going crazy; if you have thoughts of suicide; if you're constantly exhausted, anxious and depressed; if you go weeks without a decent night's sleep; if your personality changes like the flip of a coin; if a counter full of munchies doesn't satisfy your sweet tooth; and if your doctor thinks you might be a hypochondriac because medical tests don't show anything physically wrong with you - "

Finally some answers to my craziness! The Instacare referred me to a cardiologist after passing out in the shower over 3 months ago. I would get light headed and dizzy just by standing up ALL the time. They ran blood tests and everything came back perfect. The thought was that there was a hole in my heart. After doing an echo, stress test, and the bubble test (other than my heart skipping a beat here and there) they told me my I was perfectly healthy. Sigh of relief...but then the tears. "What the heck is wrong with me?" Back to the my doctor with more questions. He did more blood work. He called me yesterday and told me that my blood sugar was low, and I am hypoglycemic.

So in doing some research...I found that quote above. Fit me like a glove! It's certainly nice to know I'm not alone.
