So I got 8 viles full of blood taken on Monday , it is now wednesday. They did a whole crap load of tests mostly endocrine type functions, like cortisol, insulin, ACTH, among many others with the usual metabolic panel etc... Now I am trying to stay hopeful. I have been dissapointed ALOT in my journey for a diagnosis. Many of these tests as far as blood work go are new to me. I have never had them taken before SOOOO I am TRYING to stay positive that something... ANYTHING will be found. I am crossing my fingers that out of all those tests and practically draining me off blood.. after fasting for 12 hours mind you. (I thought I was gonna pass out and die!) that SOMETHING is found abnormal because how I feel IS NOT NORMAL. Recently in the past few weeks I have had the blood glucose issues, its mostly always low but after I eat about 2 hours or even less after wards I feel INCREDIBLY weak and dizzy, my heart is pounding and I am lathargic, I am nausiated and become hot when I am usually cold, breathing takes too much energy even. So I just become bed ridden till it goes away which sometimes takes all day or just a few hours but what is wierd is I am always fine usually by 7pm or so. Then I go from lethargic to having Insomnia... its really super let me tell you. Soooo I am hoping and PRAYING that something is found abnormal. I am so sick of Doctors telling me "you have anxiety" or telling me its in my head. OMG.. and to make matters worse because I go to appointment after apptoinment and get test after test with procedure after procedure. My husband is starting to thinking its psychological now too.  Which is hard on me because he has always been my best supporter until recently. He says he has "given up" and that so sucks right now. He told me he thinks I just don't want to go to work sometimes. That is really depressing for me to hear. Its so sad that an undiagnosed illness like this can tear apart and disect relationships like this. Its really not fair. Sorry for the rant folks. I just need some kind of support right now. I can't be crazy.. even though I feel like it. I am so eager and scared at the same time for the blood work results to come back. Scared because what if they are normal? again!?!!? Can I take it in stride again and stay positive like I have? up until now.. I dont know.
