About Me
Happily married for 20 years with 3 children. My heroes are my kids whom I learn from on a daily basis and my husband who's love for us truly blows me away.
Interests
Right now trying to get well! I love to draw with charcoal when I am able. I love laughing...the kind where tears stream down your face. IT's better than anything a doctor could prescribe!!

Close Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
I was just diagnosed with Hypo. I have been so ill for a year now. Vertigo hit hard last November and have gone down hill ever since. The fatigue is terrible and just about every single symptom one could read with Hypo I have. I even get hypothermia and tremble with vertigo at night. I am angry really. I have been to a neurologist,ENT,had echocardiagrams,MRI's,more than one...been poked and prodded. Have been ignored in the emergency room. Not one doc took my glucose levels
Treatments
- Fish Oil Working / Worked
- Well, it's too early to say. Just started supplements on Saturday. Just was diagnosed last Friday. I don't know yet if hypo is the cause of my year long journey of being very sick and unable to participate in my life. I have a feeling it will be a long road back..but, hopefully i am finally on some sort of path to recovering from this.
Close Dizziness & Vertigo
Woke up last november with the whole room violently turning completely sideways. I gasped hard and grabbed a hold of my husband because I thought I was going to fly off the bed! It was horrible and scary. I started shaking violently and uncontrollably for about 40 minutes. Went to the hospital eventually as I had slurred speech and felt just awful and so dizzy...terrible. Well, it's been a year and have never recovered. Still am dizzy on a daily basis with other symptoms as well.
Open Hypothyroidism
I have thyroid resistance. I was told for years that my thyroid was fine. I have all the symptoms of hypothyroid and finally a doctor at a Fatigue Center for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia did the RIGHT tests and found this out. I have severe vertigo and CFIDS and Fibro as well and all the horrible symptoms that plague these illnesses.
Open Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
I was diagnosed with CFIDS and Fibro not long ago after so much suffering and shuffling from doctor to doctor and having tests after tests. My symptoms are all those associated with these debilitating disorders and have kept me housebound for 20 months now. I have vertiog which is the most debilitating of all my symptoms. I read Dr. Teitelbaums 'From Fatigued to Fantastic' and this lead me to my closest Fatigue/Fibro clinic and finally found a doctor who understands what I am going through!
Treatments
- Cortisol Working / Worked
- This has helped me very much. I have hypoglycemia and cortisol is helping me with that and general stamina type issues with the fatigue
- Florinef Too Soon to Tell
- I have low aldosterone levels which we are hoping may be a piece to the puzzle for my ear pressure problems which lead to my constant dizziness and horrible vertigo
- Lunesta Not Working
- Having a heck of a time finding a sleep aid that will help me get a good night sleep that my doctor really wants me to have. This didnt help either. I will try ambien I suppose next
