Brief health update part I- July 10, 2022

I somehow got a shadow ban on Facebook, so it looks like they're not showing my pay updates. Maybe this will work better. 

Update part 1-

I couldn't explain the last week to you in a text fb update or a blog if I tried. But it does feel like I should share cause it helps me, but then I feel like I'm being a social media whiner.

David Mayfield suggested I make YouTube video updates. My health this week has literally changed hour to hour this. I've wanted to do YouTube updates but then have been scared people would think I want attention. But I'm learning so much through all this, that maybe I can help others who are stuck in the same place I've been for the last 12 years now. 

But the finality of everything that happened this week ended up with me falling down the stairs while having low blood sugar, even while holding the rails. We were supposed to leave for our summer family vacation in like 5 hours after the fall. So we rescheduled our trip for the second time this month, and had to go to the ER for my knee. 

The other big picture end of the week long story short is that the spot were at with all the other symptoms- from the low blood sugar (insulin resistance was a misdiagnosis), to the low blood pressure and heart disease POTS that were diagnosed back in 2016, to the new low oxygen crap, they all are caused by the same thing the specialists in Utah think. After research I agree with them. It's called an insulinoma. 

Insulinoma

It's really rare, only 1-4 in 4,000,000 people in the world get it. BUT! Usually the growth is benign when treated promptly with surgery and a 90% rate of being completely resolved once they remove the insulinoma from the pancreas. The Dr in Utah who found it put me on steroids to raise my sugar enough while we needed to find a new endo Dr and get the workup started. All offices are months out though and time matters with this one.
