Does anybody else have very week legs? And hypoglycemia WTF.


So my hypoglycemia is becoming more manageable. Which is awesome.
And giving me a chance to try to figure out my second most limiting problem which is that I can barely walk a block without my legs getting very week and my muscles cramping up so that I have to sit down. I have to avoid going up and down stairs as much as possible and can't take showers because standing for that long is too strenuous.
Sometimes it comes on with a full body fatigue but really it's not a fatigue as much as a complete lack of strength.
It has been a problem since my major crash 3 months ago and sometimes I wonder if I will ever be able to walk much again.
It seems like every time I start to feel some real strength returning I have a mini crash and I feel it all over again.
(Most of my crashes are precipitated by low blood sugar).
Just wondered if anybody else has had this problem.
My Dr seemed like she had never heard of such a thing even though she diagnosed me with AF.


P.S.
Also, just a little venting. Now that I am getting a handle on my hypoglycemia and figuring out what I need to be doing different I can't help but be very frustrated with all the medical professionals who told me to do the things that were making it worse!
I was healing from my worst crash and making headway about 2 months ago when because of my cycle I started on what Dr Lam's asst called a hypoglycemic rollercoaster.
I have had so many crashes since then, all due to low blood sugar, that I don't even want to think about it.
All i know is that they (Lam's people and 2 other local dr's) kept telling me to avoid sugars and carbs and to keep drinking lots and lots of water.
Both of these things were the main reasons I continued to become more and more hypoglycemic, and now I am so much weaker than I was when I was diagnosed.
I can't believe I was paying these people and trusting them to help me.
I am feeling frustrated and discouraged.
It's probably just a mood.
