Chronic Pain Today

The Day before yesterday I blogged about fibro sufferers checking their blood sugar and the link that they have to hypoglycemia issues.

Yesterday I was rushed to the clinic with fainting and LBS (low blood sugar or hypoglycemia). I spent all day dizzy and faint, nauseous and jittery, trying to bring it up and keep it up. Today I am just having the after effects of the really bad day of yesterday. It usually takes me another 24 hours after the bad day before I’m feeling better.

So what am I doing now?? Well other than ducking tornado warnings, I’m monitoring my blood sugar and making sure I eat some carbs every two hours, yes thats right Every Two Hours. It sounds like a dream to munch all day under doctor’s orders, but its really not.

So I’m ESPECIALLY warning everyone with fibro, please talk to your doctor to see if you are at risk for this. See if you can track your blood sugar for a week or so, or just during one of your “bad days” to see if there is a link. There was for me, and now I’m going to have to relearn a lifestyle so that I can do better in keeping my sugar levels up.

Be healthy and happy dear readers
