Re: Re: Sore gums and extreme hunger question

Hi RH,

Thanks. I have had my sugar checked so many times, but no abnormalities. I

will keep it in the back of my mind, just in case though.

Water no longer helps, waiting, well, my extreme hunger lasts for hours,

unfortuantely. The very few times I made it through, I was OK, but it is

nearly intolerable most of the time. I am thinking it is a cry for energy

and hoping the injectibles will take the 'edge' off.

I have tried protien diets (though not Atkins) and it is good, but I crave

the grains. Very frustrating, esp. since the sugar 'junk' will give me a

pick-me-up, though I pay for it with my weight. Ugh!

God bless,

Hazelpone

Hi RH,

I have considered an endocrinologist, but I already have so many doctors,

the thought of another is overwhelming. I even asked for a referral to an

endo from my neuro, but hesitated. I am considering going to one, and will

probably decide in June/July.

I do have low thyroid, but am on 2 grains a day. I see my doc (family

practice) soon and he will have the most recent bloodwork on it. I will

discuss it with him, as maybe I need to be on more thyroid or there could be

an adrenal problem. Ugh! Treating this disease is as tiring as having it!

Gatorade? Why Gatorade? I don't remember anyone mentioning it, maybe they

did, but I don't remember. I will give it a shot and see how it works.

Thanks for the suggestions.

God bless,

Hazelpone
