I'm having a horrible day. I am 3 weeks since removal. I've already had my "crash" and started to improve from my mirena symptoms but I'm left with quite a mess. My insomnia had me up most of the night and the last few nights I've had palpitations that made me feel like I was being punched in the chest. My heart rate is hovering around 120. Most concerning, however, was that my blood
Sugar is all over the map. I've had hypoglycemia before and know the feeling from anywhere, but I've been fine for years so I thought the way I was feeling was just from the mirena. I got a glucometer the other day and checked when I was feeling bad, my blood glucose was 122. This morning when I was feeling bad it was 75, then after a protein drink, went up to 133 and stayed there for hours, and I still felt horrible, just not quite as bad. When healthy, my blood
Sugar hovers steadily at 90. I have ZERO appetite and constant nausea, both worst in the morning. I see an endocrinologist tomorrow. I can't shake this feeling that something is wrong. I will feel fine and then suddenly it's like a thunderstorm inside my body (dizziness, palpitations, lack of focus, nausea). Though my blood
Sugar seems unrelated to these storms, it is concerning how much it is varying for me. I've got to find answers, I seem to be getting worse rather than better and am now missing work.
On the bright side, the anxiety and panic are almost completely gone. Naturally I feel anxious when I start to feel these "storms", but it isn't like it was 2 weeks ago. My thoughts are not racing with impending doom and I don't lose control over my calm. Also, the xanax doesn't relieve these "storms" as it did when I was having anxiety attacks.
Any thoughts on what all to ask the endocrinologist for would be helpful. I'm already asking for tests for insulin resistance and repeat thyroid tests.
Thanks
