Well i am glad i am such a pain to the doctors. I knew i was to tired and this getting stung by bees feelings, or like getting bit by fire ants feeling. So asked for blood work thursday. of course everyone went to holiday. Doc had receptionist call and send to hospital as potasium and glugose are both to low. As if i have not noticed. I reallly am tired of bananas. Just want to remind you all that things can happen. So i suspected this and asked doc to check vitamins and liver enzymes. The hospital goes and runs a full lab when they do this test. Last lab end of october had low potasium and i thought a one piont to high on glucose. So was not really worried about that but in the back of my head i was thinking i have always been in normal range and this isn't right. Plus fish oil and probiotics puts me to sleep like a tranquilizer or something. Just to many things seemed to not be alright. I am no doctor but i requested the bloodwork. We can just be so patient but our bodies may not be. So i am waiting till about 1:00 pm and should have results of todays labs. I had a bad day and a bad night. Was up trying to keep enough potasium in me with food and it did not seem to be working. I almost went to the eroom last night. Maybe i should have. Do not be afraid to be demanding about your health if you know you just do not feel right and nothing seems to be helping. My legs feel like dead wait. Sore muscles and i feel like i being stung by bees. My eyes are feeling that way on off also. Well i had decided it was the allergisc reaction maybe causing it but i thought i better check it out. I know the medicines are probably alot to do with it and infection and other things can cause glucose problem i guess. But i had just been so tired that even the prednisone did not help so i guess you have to tell people. Your blood work can change in a two month time.Hope you get your lab results back soon Milly, and that it's nothing serious!
Milly, I discovered one of the Vitamin Drinks in the grocer's called Revive has Potassium-250mg and I have been so much better drinking one of those a day. The drink really picked me up in the mornings when I thought I couldn't do anything.
Take care
I noticed i have more energy when i eat a banana but i can only eat so many. I flip flop with other stuff. Rasins, rasin bran. I was getting more potasium from other foods also but it wasn't working. It was just i had an awful day and an awful night. And they called just when i had fallen asleep. Scared me, now what glucose. Well i am alright today. of course i pushed the potasium over the holiday. And i was in normal range today first time in two months. I have no idea about the glucose? It's fine today. If i gets sleepy again i am to let them know. I see RD in two weeks. I do not like to get woke up this way. But i am fine for now. So i guess i did good taking care of myself this weekend.
