Very bad reaction to sugar and fruits

[Guest guest]

I am wondering of others here with severe adrenal problems react

really badly to foods with only a small amount of sugar in it? I

thought that with treatment I might be able to get away with a food

once a day that has a small amount of sugar but I always get almost

immediate muscle pains and aches and a complete inability to walk for

more than 10 minutes without going completely hypoglycemic.

Even fruit like 1/2 apple or some pineapple will do this too even

though I add in protein. Yesterday I had a very small piece of

cheesecake with no base to it, just the cream mixture and it wasn't

that sweet but when I took the dog out about 45 minutes later I was

hurting all over and developed a very bad hypo attack after only 10

minutes. I was so dizzy and had to push some food down mean really

quickly but it really stirred me up. I have noticed this effect of

any slight sweet food making me unable to walk and bad muscle pains

for quite some time and don't really understand why I cannot tolerate

even a small amount of sugar just once daily.

I do think my adrenals are at almost s' level but it is more

likely to be a Hypopituitary problem because my doctor thinks I had

mild Sheehan's syndrome before I had a tennis ball served right into

the back of my head with severe force which probably further damaged

the HPA axis. I am low in all hormones except progesterone and post

menopausal for which I take 0.75mg estrogel daily. Also I take 2

grains Armour plus 25 thyroxine but very easily go hyper when I add

in just a bit more Armour which I have done since 7 March but

symptoms of hyper since last Wednesday. Today I have only taken my

thyroxine and Pred/Florinef and will leave off Armour until tomorrow

and then take 1 grain on waking and maybe another dose after lunch if

necessary to try and get the T3 down.

Is this reaction to any sugar common even when we are taking steroids?

Thanks

Hi Val

No with me its a definite hyperthyroid symptom along with the sweating

and excess adrenaline that gives me the dizzy turns. I get it

everytime I try to raise Armour to a bit more than 2 grains so

definitely won't do it anymore!

Luckily betablockers settle it down a bit but I need to take them

several times a day to keep things under control but my muscles are

still very sore.
