Need help please Major loss in quality of life Myself and children suffering

[kjk300]

I am 30 yrs old, female and recently diagnosed with Hyoglycemia. I feel there is something more that perhaps is being looked over. I have a nodule on my thyriod that all the concerning doctors are debating about removing and I have symtoms of both hypoglycemia and thyriod desease. Thus it has been hard to narrow down the direct cause of my recent symtoms and experiences. A little background: I have drank coffee and had a sweet tooth for as long as I can remember. In my early 20's and during my childbaring years, I was diagnosed with RA then in my late 20's I started having chest pains and was told I have rapid onset. Now, at age 30, they have discovered a nodule on my thyriod after a turn of events, have diagnosed me with Hypoglyemia. I contest the diagnosis because my symptoms are more like high sugar. That and the rest of my history is I have been a binge drinker for more than 10 years. I know that that can cause diabetes and hypoglycemia but I have flank pain and abdominal pain and frequent and urgent urination night and day. Just the other day a urine sample showed 3 to 5 white blood cells. Also, when I do attempt to drink a beer I experience very scary feelings like that of confusion, dizziness, light-headed, fatigue, weakness, thirst, shallow breathing and the worst part is these things last for up to two to three days after just one or two beers-literally. Take into account that I am whatching my diet otherwise, as if I am hypoglycemic ( I quit caffine in all forms, most sugars and alcohol-all at once-all cold turkey-no joke-a year ago this month). Now I find that my concentration is little to none as well as my short term memory. I literally forget what i'm doing from one minute to the next. Tasks on any level have become more than difficult. I have managed to get by with just doing the bare minimum when it comes to the kids and the house but work and college are not so forgiving and its all catching up to me fast. This is all coming from someone who is not defeated easily. I've been through things and overcome things that many would have not attempted. Having said that, I am getting worried and scared that I will never feel 'normal' agian or be able to return to my previous lifestyle of being very active, helpful to all around me, very included in my childrens lives and pursuing my own dreams. What is going on with me!!??? Any helpful info and/or advice would be greatly apperciated. As always, thank you and God bless.
