Hey all.
Before 2024, it has been years since I had a seizure, the last one when I was a young baby. But this year I have already had two, the most in one year - believed to be from low blood sugars - my Libre 2 data is proof for seizure 2 on 8 May while the first one is in hospital records as an ambulance was called for the one I had on 13 March. The thing is, ever since I got a sick bug on July 6, 2023, my appetite really hasn't been back to its best, especially if I am out in a public spot for some reason. I will spare you the details of what happens if I try to eat certain things. Chips and roast dinners are okay though (good, I am glad they are because if they weren't I would not have been able to enjoy an early birthday carvery). I am also more or less fine at home, though I did stop eating medium sized sausage rolls. I did tend to start running low since the start of 2022, but I think the problem has gradually gotten worse ever since I got that bug. Is it possible that my appetite not restoring itself properly may have led indirectly to the lows getting worse, ala the seizures, or is something else going on that is causing it?
Before you panic, a dietitian appointment has finally been set up, although in my opinion there should have been at least one in 2023.
ETA: It took 10 months between the sick bug itself and the dietitian appointment being set up.
