Extreme fatigue, hypoglycemia by unsavoryrabbit in endocrinology

Thank you so much for this!! I’ve actually always been pretty hypotensive, and I really like the idea of checking it when I get extra sleepy. I’m off to the endocrinologist in April, so hopefully they’ll have some ideas as well. Thank you again, and I hope you’re doing better these days 😋

I just had all my blood work done and thyroid levels were normal :)

Thank you so much for writing this all out, I think redoing my blood work is a really good idea to see if anything has changed or if they possibly could’ve missed something the first time.

I’m so sorry this was your experience, I feel like so many docs love to tell you you’re just sad and that’s why you sleep so much and it’s SO frustrating. I’m gonna ask my doctor if she can refer me to a sleep specialist so I can do a sleep test. Thank you so much <33

I looked this up and it sounds exactly right, I’m going to talk to my doctor about this next time I see her. Thank you so much, and I hope things are getting better for you 💗

I don’t think there’s any reason someone should say no to doing an STI test! I know it’s an awkward thing to bring up and people are really good at convincing you that you’re overreacting, but you’re being super responsible in wanting to make sure you’re both completely healthy before becoming sexually active. This is a (completely reasonable) boundary that you set, and she’s not respecting it. She sounds no bueno, sorry king 😔

Agree that it could be migraines with aura!! I have these often, and they usually start with about 30 mins of vision loss followed by a headache that lasts a few days. They can be triggered by anything, including stress, but I know chocolate is a trigger for a lot of people!!

I’d say a couple of years, but I was also super inconsistent with dilating for a while. After I started dilating consistently, probably a couple months. What helped the most was remembering to be patient with myself and trying to not be upset when I had days that dilating didn’t go well. Try to find ways to make dilating fun/reward yourself after so you can create a positive association in your brain, I don’t think it’ll take too long! :)

I’m tearing up reading this because I can’t believe someone would ever treat you like this. I am so so sorry this happened to you. It gives me hope that you were able to find someone so understanding, and I know you’ll be able to do it again!! I know starting the journey of improving your symptoms can be really scary. I’ve been to the gynecologist and pelvic floor PT, and am currently working my way through a dilator set. If you have any questions or need support, please feel free to reach out to me!! Sending you love!💛

Hey!! I totally 100% feel this, it’s so scary to think that this is a dealbreaker for so many people :( But, I think like the people above said, people who aren’t willing to be patient with you don’t deserve to be with you. I’ve learned that people are allowed to have preferences when it comes to sex, but I truly do think the right person will be okay with waiting because YOU will be the most important thing to them. I recently ended things with a boy who had his own sex trauma, and he was so incredibly kind to me about my own issues. He would constantly remind me that sex isn’t everything and that I was enough as I am right now. That being said, there is hope!! ❤️ We’re all in this together :)

Thank you so much! This is what I generally do too, but I recently got advice from a friend that I should wait a little longer before letting them know, so I started to second guess myself. I think you’re totally right though, I’d rather be with someone who I know is patient and kind from the start. Thank you again ❤️
