I was diagnosed with Thyroid problems about 24 years ago, then about 10 years ago, Hashimotos. Then 8 years ago I was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis. Now I have been diagnosed with reactive hypoglycemia.

I started gaining weight for no apparant reason, I was fatigued, very dry skin, hair falling out, cold, and no energy, whole body was aching and was painful. When I got out bed in the morning or even after a nap it wasnt more than an hour and I felt like I had been up the whole night and had to lay down and sleep again.

Before that I had some energy to at least swim. I am supposed to do that for the Multiple Sclerosis.

I wondered if there was anyone here who has had problems with their Hashimotos and then developed reactive hypoglycemia?

Its been a mystery and Dr says Im pre-diabetic, but I dont have diabetic symptoms. Now after the 2 hour Glucose Tolerance Test says I am reactive hypoglycemia with impaird Glucose tolerance. Dont know what to eat, when or how much to eat.

Thyroid was basicially Hypo but changes to Hyper back and forth.

Any one who has had similar problems please let me know how you handled them. Any help is appreciated. redface redface

Hello Winkerdoo and welcome to healing well.

I am hypothyroid and I have suffered from reactive hypoglycemia.

Reactive hypoglycemia usually happens after a long fast. What I do to keep from getting the reactive action is to eat protein for breakfast and then have a small healthy snack 2/3 hours after. If you suffer from this do not eat a breakfast high in carbs or sugar such as waffles, pancakes, donuts, muffins, etc, etc. Instead eat eggs, peanut butter, ham, chicken, fish and/or cheese.

Reactions from RH can be very scary and can very easily be avoided by eating more protein (especially after a fast of more than 6-8 hours) and eating less carbs/sugar. If you have a busy schedule and cannot take the time to sit and eat good protein filled meals try keeping some peanut butter crackers or nuts with you at all times. As soon as you feel the symptoms start, eat the snack.

Hope this helps, take care,

Hi,

 In response to your post, you are not alone!......

 I have Celiac Disease, Lupus, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis and Reactive Hypoglycemia. I have had so many issues throughout my life and it is a balancing act with all of it. I am still trying to get the Hypoglycemia in check but I think I am finally figuring it all out, well at least I hope!
