Does anyone else get shakey?
| Thu, 04-01-2004 - 12:11am |
I don't eat breakfast....I know I should, but I get up at 10am and we eat lunch at 11am everyday because that is my fiance's lunch hour. I am usually shakey in the morning and get really weak and start to get really bad headaches and neck aches. When I eat lunch it will go away as long as it didn't get really bad. About an hour or so later I get the same way and whenever I eat something to help, I am not hungry and I am forcing food that I don't want. I guess whatever I eat must be the wrong food, but then I don't know what would be right. I get that way all day and if I wait too long, then I get a really bad migraine, my neck hurts all the way up and into my temples, i feel sick to my stomach and even if I eat, it won't go away, the only option is to sleep. Has this ever happened to anyone else? I have always been this way, but it wasn't an everyday thing, just once in a while when I would be in school or something and didn't have the option to eat anything until it was time. I had tests done before and everything came back negative. Since I had my son a year and a half ago, it has been every single day that I feel this way. If anyone has had this, how do you deal with it and do you have any suggestions as to what to eat?

I went to see a nutritionist and she advised me to always have some protein with every meal and snack. Then I started cutting back on carbs and this has really helped.
Eating a lot of sugar (carbs) can cause headaches, and so can caffeine. You mentioned you had tests done, did they test for hypogloxemia (sp?) Do you take birth control pills? They gave me some killer migraines. I feel for you, they are the worst. I hope you can figure out what's causing this. Good luck!- Vera
