Welcome to the community Lucy, glad to have you here.

You will find great advice here and everyone is super friendly..but not in a touchy feely way, that would just be awkward!

Read through some stickied threads and ask lots of questions, knowledge is power and remember your not alone.

England crew signing in with the others! Welcome :)

Reading the stickies at the top of the page is indeed a very good place to start.

You have lots of progress still to make. Try not to feel too hopeless. Many have come through these doors saying the same as you are saying, and left happy!

[Chatative]

Low Iron can make you wobbly I'm in renal failure and iron is one of the I get deficient in and when it was bad I was wobbly Iron is to do with oxygenation of the blood I think.

[lucy88]

My level was 125 apparently not to low but low! Thankyou all its the panic attacks that are scary im always feeling tired sick off food too is this normal?

[jessed03]

It's very normal Lucy :)

[Enduronman]

It "sounds" like hypoglycemia,..I had that too......easily corrected! In fact, I correct mine on accident, with a glass of orange juice,....jus sayin :)

[lucy88]

Soon as I leave my house my legs change sometime cooking too I start feeling it im not sure why im ok when im not doing things even better when im in my bed. I feel like im going mad im always ringing my doctor to it was actually a nurse that said its anxiety. Has anyone ever had tingly numbish lips to? X

[Chatative]

It "sounds" like hypoglycemia,..I had that too......

Hypoglycaemia in anyone who isn't a Diabetic is very uncommon.

It's possible but unlikely.

[Enduronman]

Yes,..I have and also others here too (just can't remember who atm)....also a part of anxiety friend. Anxiety can = Neuropathy, tingles, itches, pins and needles, wobbly...etc...

Next time you feel like this, eat one of those bananas that are flung all over this place or drink some oj....then see what happens. (low blood sugar I'm guessing)

E-Man..

[Dahila]

Hi Lucy, welcome to the forum.... I am not from England but I am as nice as the rest of English group:)))

My entire family has had this..kids, parents,..and NONE of us are diabetic my friend. Maybe, we're all in the uncommon group I suppose. My Father just had this 2 weeks ago while walking, now he carried a small box of oj with him...a few drinks, back on track.

E..

That's fascinating... Familial Hyperinsulinism?

[Enduronman]

If that's the term you wish to use to describe it, and we're also Swedes and I am a Viking. Is that rare too?

[Enduronman]

Oh wait,...My Sister and I both have a disease called (relapsing polychondritis) and there are as many as 1000 CONFIRMED cases in this entire world of 8 BILLION PEOPLE...Would that add to the mysterious anomaly of it too??? I bet it all plays into the other.....you should study it for me. :)

[Enduronman]

It is on this thread! ;)

Ok,...mini artaud......hmmmm...........enigma

[Chatative]

Me too.

Our 4 weeks of Googling clearly paid off though because we found this forum!! There's always a positive side the everything! :)

[NeverToo...Fear]

Hi Lucy, nice to meet you and welcome here to the AF forums.. I'm not from the UK, but I'm a reasonable Floridian.. :)

[lucy88]

This is abit embarrasing but can anxiety make you constipated trapped wind? Yeah google was good for finding this sight x

[Enduronman]

Breaking trapped wind is always fun at parties!..Sorry,...butt I had to say that...:)

Yes, it can slow your bowels, it can increase other bowels, in can do anything and everything to your physical body that you can think of. Hence= Googleing crap all the time!

That's what it wants you to do, think the worst...doom and gloom.

Let's get you some medications to slowwwww its progression, or are you against meds like others are?

E-Man...:)

[lucy88]

Im seeing my doctor to discuss meds next week. Ive been anxious for weeks and only just had this problem today and yesterday passing hardly any wind at all!

[Enduronman]

You may be abit dehydrated...drink some water!

SOOOOOOO glad you're going to see the Doc about some meds too....they will make a huge improvement. :)

[Enduronman]

Oh boy...need we ask what was the trigger?..(1) thing?....Boom! Anxiety?.......

[Lord Jazzinho]

That is normal for low Iron yes :)
