Crissy Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 He had an odd 'episode' last week. He was at the office (that of our football team) and suddenly couldn't remember any one's name, what he was doing, and a number of other details. Someone took him to the training room and the doctors fed him (he had skipped breakfast) and did a few other things for him and he soon started to feel better. Later, he called our doctor who made an appointment for him with a neurologist. He saw the neurologist who scheduled a few test for today. He had an MRI first thing this morning, then went for a four hour glucose tolerance test. Since then he's been sick to his stomach and has had a terrible headache. He was home by 2:00 and has been in bed since (it's now after 5PM). I should add that he *never* goes to bed sick. He's like...a mom! I don't know much about these tests, but I wonder if feeling ill is just a coincidence. Could the glucose test have made him feel so poorly?

AnnetteB Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 You are both wise to have the doctors run the tests. Yes, the sugary drink and tests can be upsetting. I hope he is feeling much better very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Fairy Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I had a 3 hour blood glucose test for gestational diabetes, and I felt terrible afterwards. It sounds like your dh went through the ringer today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin M Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Your poor hubby. Yes, the glucose test is the worst. It tastes awful and can make you sick to your stomach. Hope he feels better tomorrow. Give him some chicken broth. Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Thank you, all. I'm glad to know this isn't out of the ordinary after what he's been through today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doran Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 What a day! I sure hope he feels better tomorrow (or, perhaps even later tonight). I know you're both a little worried. Here' hoping you have some answers soon.:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalanamak Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 He had an odd 'episode' last week.

Could the glucose test have made him feel so poorly? Yes, it could. I used to get low sugar if I skipped a couple meals and rushed about. I was in a haze (the technical term is "clouding of consciousness"...I love that phrase) once and a nurse took a finger stick. 29. Not sure why I was conscious at all!! More common in young women, than in mature men, but still possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
