You beat me to it! I guess it is linked to blood sugar after all! :)

Thank you for explaining this Rillium, that is interesting. I didn't realise vitamin D was so serious, it's amazing the knowledge that I can get from these forum members. It could help explain why I feel so weak. He just told me to take all the vitamins at once, and keep doing this every...

Hello, Hope you don't mind me posting again, this forum has really helped support me so far! I am seriously disappointed. I went to see the endocrinologist, and he said I seemed to be fine. He wasn't willing to do any more tests on me and he will never give me a diagnosis. This is what he...

Thank you Nosher, I will definitely take the advice of you and Brunneria and ask for a new specialist! But I will give the endocrinologist one more chance in this appointment next week, just in case he has finally managed to come to a diagnosis or treatment. :) I didn't try any fasting blood...

Thank you, Rillium! :) Fingers crossed for some success in getting some sort of diagnosis or treatment next week. Will update if I get any luck!

Hello everyone! I've been recovering from my recent hospital stay. Finally, after about 6 weeks, I'm starting to feel like I have a clear head again. I have gone on a mission to eat food every single hour, and I have gained all my weight back to reach a BMI of 18. By eating every hour, I can...

Crying! The endocrinologist said I don't fit the criteria for his ward so he won't help me. He also said my blood glucose results are "not exciting" and that 2.6 is "normal". what the ****?! The surgeon has no idea about what's wrong. He doesn't know what specialist would help and he hasn't...

I haven't heard any more about the white blood cell count, but I will be sure to ask the doctors that tomorrow! :)

They are actually surgeons. One of them told me I need someone more "cerebral" - as surgeons he said just like to chop and stitch people and they can't do that with me! I'm hoping to get referred to an appropriate team of doctors tomorrow. The surgeons tell me that all they have been able to...

I think you are probably right that I will have to comply. My only other option is leaving, and that won't get me access to any sort of help! This morning I was at 4.9 mmol at 8.30. I then ate beans on toast at 9.00AM and had a blood glucose reading of 3.6 at 9.30AM. As I suspected, it is...

Hello everyone, Things have taken a rather bizarre turn and I'm sure you will be interested to hear the story. I am still in the hospital. I don't have appendicitis according to ultrasound scans and the pain has gradually dissipated. However, while I was here I kept collapsing with low blood...

Where did that last message pop up from? I'm not sure what's the point of discussing this with my GP, I'm currently in the surgical assessment ward for abdo pain , and even the endo consultants are confused about my blood sugar issues, so it's way beyond a GP

Hello! I have been admitted to hospital yesterday for suspected appendicitis. I was nil-by-mouth (not allowed to eat or drink) and my blood sugar dropped to 3.1 within the day. My mum visited me and I was freezing cold and confused so I asked the nurse to test it. They tried to give me...

Thank you all for the support and lovely replies! Let's hope this is just another phase that will lead to something better

Hello everyone! I hope you don't mind me sharing my recent thoughts and events, because I'm feeling a bit down... I was fired from my job because my memory was bad. I told my employer that this was due to my recent health problems, which are still being investigated. He still fired me. I think...

Hi all, It sounds like they definitely don't think it's an insulinoma. The nurse that did my blood test was very upsetting, she said it's my fault I feel unwell and my fault I got low blood sugar in hospital, because I haven't been eating enough carbohydrates. Then I spoke to the consultant...

Hello everyone, I got a discharge letter from the hospital in the post yesterday, but based on what the nurses said, this letter had been written at the time of my discharge. The letter states "results: no indication of insulinoma". I don't understand this! Would they really have had access...

Hi everyone, Feeling quite a lot better today, thank you for the support! You have really helped me get through the worst of it, especially before the consultant rescued me and I didn't know what on earth to do! I feel a bit weird when I start thinking back to how I felt when I started this...

nosher8355, Sadly, I think you are right that I have an insulinoma. For some reason, I have thought I had one from the beginning, even though I knew I had no reason to draw that conclusion. I didn't take anything during the fast except my normal antidepressants, iced water and two cups of zero...

I do feel a lot better, I feel quite weak but at the same time really amazing (although that's probably just in comparison to how bad I have felt for the last 50+ hours). Good idea! I will get him to bring or buy every low carb food he can find. He's good at it now, and has even decided to go...
