Thanks for answers - I need to find out about insulin etc....

Actually, not to be gross - but my intestines since I got sick get very upset when I drink this stuff - lets just say it kinda "flys" thru me (yuck).... but enough must be abosbed on its rapid trip that its doing something - I've always gotten very shaky and dizzy and crabby and nauseus if I missed any meal at all - ever though! Up until the time I got sick I never left the house in the AM without eating something - even if meeting someone for breakfast (and breakfast couldnt just be fruit or something really light or I'd be hungry in a hour again - so would eat big fat muffin or waffles or eggs etc) .....and trying to work thru lunch etc was impossible - my co-workers and the poor people I had to interview or whatever were the victims if I had not had snacks in the am or taken 10 miinutes to wolf something down at about 11 in the aM - because I could no longer even think straight - so I'd get kinda mild symtoms (and then eat to stop them) - while during the test having nothing there was no way to ward them off.....

I know a doc had wanted me to get tested for adrenal exhaustion last year - but he never followed up on it and I should have - but was exhausted from other tests (irony here?)........ Could this maybe be part of problem?

Also, Mrs. D. - as a fellow "pin-cushion" (isnt it fun - not) - am I undertanding that a sharp spike or drop in blood sugar trioggers excess adrendalin? And is that triggered by blood sugar? Might explain a lot......
