Thanks, Celia 16. So glad you received help and are doing better!!

Do you believe the episodes were related to hypoglycemia?

If you don't mind me asking, did your therapy focus on tools to help with nervous system regulation (like the vagus nerve / parasympathetic nervous system), or mostly talking things through?

Thank you for sharing!

@ready4vacation , sorry for the delay in responding. I do not believe my episodes were due to hypoglycemia since I wear a continuous glucose monitor and always have a good idea of my blood sugar level. I can only describe what I experienced. It could be different from yours. My episodes came out of no where and weren’t related to any particular event. And, they felt different from panic attacks, because I had those many years ago for a short time. These were different.

To summarize, I was under a lot of stress, both personal and family. I had just been diagnosed with post covid syndrome and B12 deficiency. I did have some physical symptoms, but not related to my episodes. I saw neurologists, rheumatologist, endocrinologist, dermatologist, ENT, etc, It was overwhelming and stressful. I sought a therapist who had a medical/healthcare background. We addressed how I could manage my medical care, seek diagnoses, etc. with tools to help me find peace. I found that for me, there was a fine line between being a staunch advocate for my health and accepting diagnoses. He gave me feedback and support. My episodes decreased and became less intense . For me, I learned to accept that I had done due diligence in my healthcare and should go out and live my life. I also discovered how some family dynamics were impacting me negatively. He gave me confidence to address them, Gradually, I realized how much better I was. I am very grateful. I still have some issues for which I seek treatment, but it’s manageable.

I hope you can find answers and something that helps.
