Annoying bio-stuff.

My blood sugar's really low again...I think it was the caffeine that kicked it in the head and set it off. I ate lunch and a couple of coworkers are feeding me candy, so I'm coming back up, but for a while I'll still feel like I'm wading through pudding.

Being hypoglycemic sucks.

Ms Eff, trying pathetically to kick herself...

Hm, wading through pudding sounds kinda fun, actually.... (just kidding, I know there's nothing fun about how you're feeling.)

I think I'm a bit hypoglyco, too... It got woozy before dinner (ok now). Complex carbos are better, but you can't always eat perfectly (I never plan ahead). Some cereals are better than others, when I can't get protein for b'fast.

Wading through pudding is a good description. One time I described how I felt on a "bad" day to m'luv and she said if she felt that bad all the time she'd kill herself. That made me feel better until I rilly thought about it... I feel better now, but there are brief lapses of numbing fatigue or weakness...

Yeah, that sounds a little hypoglycemic to me.
For me it's linked to an iron and mineral deficiency, so check that if you can--it can help with your symptoms. Vitamins help a little, but they're hard to absorb, so when I'm good I try to eat more mineral-rich things. (I also try to have the occasional Power-bar-type thing with vitamins in it if I'm getting wonked out. It absorbs faster.)

It's no fun, is it? You don't even get to *eat* the pudding....:)

I feel better today...had a nice Lunabar for breakfast, loaded with vitamins and minerals and whatnot, and veggies with dinner, and tonight I will stuff my face with red meat and more poor helpless vegetables what never did nuthin' to me:)
