i have hypoglycemia, im often anemic and i've been told i may have all these problems related to my thyroid. possibly hypothyroidism...
The best way to determine if you are hypothyroid is checking your basal body temperature:

As for the different forms of hypoglycemia:
http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1550226#i
i have low blood sugar 3 hours after eating a meal,
This sounds like acute (reactive) hypoglycemia.
i sweat constantly from my arm pits even though i am cold,
This could be hyperhidrosis. If it is then sage leaf is really good for this. And it also helps with nerves and digestion.
i am tired often, but my under eye circles and lines makes me look like im a drug addict who doesnt sleep at all, my hands and feet are constantly cold,
Again check your thyroid.
and i get pins and needles often
Are you sure you are diabetic?
.i get terrible headaches if i dont eat within three hours (sometimes less) i shake daily from either not eating for a few hours or sometimes even when im not hungry...(ive done a parasite cleanse a while back after considering my syptoms could be the cause of a parasite robbing me of iron and protien and my essential nutrients, nothing improved from there and most doctors looked at me like i was crazy to consider the thought but im willing to accept anything to have these symptoms gone)
im completely healthy for my young age, not overwieght or underwieght, i eat ALOT, but im extremely ebarrassed by my sweating problem, today for example i wore a cotton tee shirt, with a button up cotton shirt, along with a heavy sweater and wool jacket. everything i wore was cotton except my peacoat (wool)...i know they say what material you wear can make you sweat, but today i sweat through those three layers, tee, shirt, sweater.. like an extreme amount, this is daily while im COLD, im not anxiety filled when this happens, although when anxieties in the picture it can be ten times worst and effect me everywhere else.
what does this sound like? are my symptoms and doctors advice of possible causes sound likely?
what can i do for this excessive sweating problem!! im at my wits ends!
I recommend starting by checking your thyroid, and supplementing with chromium polynicotinate (not picolinate), 200mcg 3 to4 times daily with meals. Sage leaf can be obtained cut for a bitter tea or capsuled if in powder form.
Anemia has many forms and causes. So more information would help. Something as simple as taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can lead to anemia through internal bleeding. A lack of stomach acid, drinking coffee or tea or taking calcium sources with iron will all block iron absorption. These there is also B12 deficiency anemia common in vegetarians and lack f intrinsic factor that can lead to anemia. If you are a menstruating female then this can also lead to anemia.
I would not hurt either to work on your adrenal glands with vitamin C and pantothenic acid sources as well as adaptogenic herbs.
thankyou Hveragerthi for your quick response... i will be checking my basal body temp asap when i get a glass thermometer, is the glass vital? as i used to have one but recently broke it...
I prefer glass because I feel they are more accurate. Many digitals will not register below 97F. Glass thermometers are making a comeback so they are a little easier to find now than they were a few years ago when they banned the mercury ones.
"This could be hyperhidrosis. If it is then sage leaf is really good for this. And it also helps with nerves and digestion."
ive heard of this, can i take dried sage leaf? i have some from plants i had last summer, how much do i take? is tea or pills better?
Either will work. The tea does act as a bitter as well, but it can be quite intense. I do like the tea though mixed with licorice root then made half strength. I do this when I teach classes to soothe my throat from all the talking. If you use capsules I recommend two size '00' capsules 3 times daily at least 20 minutes before meals. Or the tea a cup three times daily before meals.
"Are you sure you are diabetic?"
im not a diabetic, just have low blood sugar
The reason I was asking is that hypoglycemia can occur with diabetes and the nerve tingling you mentioned is common with diabetes (diabetic neuropathy).
as for the iron deficiency, i take time release iron tablets daily ( try to ) but sometimes i feel it has no effect..
my sister also has an iron deficiency
This could be from a number of reasons, most that I listed in my last post.
also i forgot to add i have a problem with clearing the back of my throat, i am constantly clearing it as i feel like i have post nasal drip, my doc said its possibly acid reflux even tho i dont get heartburn, could these problems all be intertwined? thanks again
This could also be allergies or a minor sinus infection, which does not always present with pain. Reflux can also stimulate nasal drip, but if this is throughout the day then allergies or infection are more likely.
