I definitely want to look into food allergies ..cause id like to know what needs to be eliminated incase it may be a trigger. As far as lbs goes.....i do get lows nearly every day..especially in the a.m. However i have a blood tester...so many times my Sugar is absolutely fine when i'm experiencing anxiety. So who knows.

Amen to everhopeful. the finger prick testers are junk. i had bought one when i was first sick and my readings were fine even though i had all the symptoms of LBS and i later realized they are not worth anything. you have to go by symptoms and how you feel. i can certainly tell if i am anxious in corrolation to my eating habits, how often i eat, when i eat and what i eat. now that i realize this i am much better. Even in the Low blood Sugar handbook, which is a great book written by a man who has hypolglycemia, it says the finger pricks are not always accurate for everyone. Especially for those of us with glandular disorders. The adrenals will never heal unless we balance our blood suagar as otherwise they are always overworked and in use. Head pressure is a common symptom of low blood sugar. your dr sounds like my first one i had- who never even told me low blood Sugar was probable with adrenal problems, and had me going nuts trying to figure out everything on my own. i point blank asked her whey i awoke ever morning with awful panic attacks and was so shaky and weak and she said it was all due to AF. She said i needed to eat more fruit(ha ha) and vegetables. the panic and anxiety i was experiencing was due to my blood suagar and worse in the mornings due to the fact i had not eaten all night. i don't have them any more. it takes time to balance blood sugar, and that is why being consistent is sooo important. one mistake can set you back for days. once i learned all this and stopped eating fruit and ate regularly and understood my food allergies , it is all coming together. you can't drink any juice, eat any sweets or fruit, and need to eat protein mixed with complex carbs. maybe even every 2 hours. being on this roller coaster weakens you and is not good for the baby because your body is so off kilter. leslie

monica, sounds like you have been thru alot and i am sorry to hear all of that. as for food allergy testing i had my ND give me one, he took my blood and sent it out for me, and it cost me about 200.00. It was the best test i ever had as i would not have even thought i had any food allergies , becasue i did not realize they can give you such awful anxiety. i thought they caused other things, like swelling or sneezing, etc. but when i was eating stuff my body did not like, but yet craved, i was so sick. it had gotten so bad that it made me feel crazy and suicidal. by the way that was my second ND, as my first one was so bad i had to find a different one. i asked him for the test and he did anything i wanted. if yours does not feel it necessary, demand it or go somewhere else. i'm still mad she charged you 700.00 and gave you too many supplements. less is more with AF people. if you have medical insurance, get it thru your MD. i know Dar 222 got one called ELISA and his insurance covered it. one interesting thing about the amalgram fillings, is that i mentioned them to my second ND as i have a mouth full of them, and he thought it would be better to leave them be. i have to agree as now i am on my way to recovery, and removing them often seems to bring about alot of problems. i am sure in the long run it is better, but i think when they are removed it really messes with the system, and if your system is already down due to AF and LBS, it is too much for your poor body.
