I have read that one can be connected to the other, but has anyone ever heard of them all being connected. My pain comes from a stress fracture of the hip that never healed. Trying to find some answers
Answer:
PTSD could be related to the hip fracture, depending on the circumstances. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) I don't think are related (however, see below).The thyroid activity (over- or under-active) determines how fast or slow your system burns energy, how nervous you are, or slowed thinking, and is controlled by the pituitary gland.
Low blood sugar can be caused by a problem with the pancreas, also an endocrine gland. I believe low blood sugar might be a fore-runner of diabetes, so it's important to get that under control if possible. Do you find that when you eat a big meal or sweets, rich food, about an hour or 1-1/2 hours later you feel lousy and may sleep like you were drugged? If so, you may be burning your sugar too fast, so the sugar gets low. If you can connect that feeling lousy with what you just ate, it becomes much easier to leave it alone. I remember wondering what I could eat that would not make me feel terrible, and considered possibly a hard boiled egg or a tomato. But when you leave it alone and can get through it, the hypoglycemia can level out. Sure feels better! Have you seen an Endocrinologist? He is the physician with the best training to take care of your problems. The PTSD has to do with the adrenal glands, and the thyroid and pancreas (which secretes insulin and is related to diabetes and hypoglycemia) are all endocrine glands. The specialist who is most knowledgeable about these endocrine glands is an Endocrinologist. Why not ask your regular doctor to recommend an endocrinologist? (don't go to the phone book). I believe I've read that in certain conditions, pain can be more noticeable (relating to cortisol levels), so maybe his help would lessen the pain, too. I wish you much luck in finding solutions to your problems.
