Well Paula-

I've had enough of being angry for a while, so I'm just going to REJOICE in the fact that you've finally gotten the answers you were searching for!!! Okay, yeah- I'm sorry that it took such an outrageously long amount of time, and so many flippin' tests to figure it out...but YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY! And for that, I am incredibly grateful. :-)

Amy,


You are right, of course. The important thing is we have an answer and a line of attack on this thing. I had been almost out of ideas. Honestly, had the test tuned out to be negative, I would have given up and seen a shrink.

geez, what a year! I'm glad you do have some inkling of what's actually making all the problems and someone teaming up w/ you to help you get through it.

I do understand a little how you're feeling (tho my blood sugar doesn't change quite so dramatically), I went off my diet this week because it was my birthday and I wanted to celebrate w/ all my favorite foods. Unfortunately, they have sugar in them or are high carb, and I also had 3 acoholic drinks in the last couple days-- I'm a mess tonight. I'm numb(my extremities are actually pins and needles/tingly), headache, sick to my stomach, lathargic, I can't go to sleep cause my body is so out of whack and jittery.

I hope you're feeling like the old Paula a lot more very soon!

Paula,
I too, am glad they finally found the answer. You have been such a positive support to people on this board. Your encouragement to others in the midst of what you have been going through is a real blessing. Hang in there.

Paula,

I'm going to second what Kara said. You would never know from your posts what you were going through. You are always a great resource for info and give level headed advice.

Glad you found the answer, please take care.

Dear Paula,

WHEW!!!

As I told you in chat, I have known about hypoglycemia since I was 12 because I did science projects on it using caffeine, mice, sugar, studying memory, won all sorts of awards with the project 2 years in a row and then gave up my future as a medical researcher to go into my true love, drama. Oh well.

And I have worked with clients with other metabolic issues, so I have had to stay a bit abreast of how to work with them. I know many who really have to avoid the carbs, hard work, that, but do-able.

We are glad to still have you with us!!!!!!!

Sara
