Hi all,
I'm not complaining; my symptoms are now at a minimum. But, there is one thing that won't disappear, and that is my sweating.
I can work hard physically, I don't sweat. I can sit in the sun, without sweating.
But, if I eat something with sugar, the sweating will start. It can be released by fruit and also by wine. I don't drink much alcohol, only a couple of glasses with meals during weekends.
I have to tear off my clothes, it feels like fever.
Could it be a histamine reaction?
Does anyone have the same symptoms?

Lilia,
That sounds like reactive hypoglycemia (postprandial hypoglycemia). "Postprandial" means "after eating" Here's some information on it:

That sounds like reactive hypoglycemia (postprandial hypoglycemia). "Postprandial" means "after eating" Here's some information on it:
I think I have reactive hypoglycemia. How can I address my symptoms?Reactive hypoglycemia (postprandial hypoglycemia) is low blood sugar that occurs after a meal — usually within four hours after eating. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) usually occurs while fasting. Signs and symptoms of reactive hypoglycemia may include hunger, weakness, shakiness, sleepiness, sweating, lightheadedness, anxiety and confusion.
It's possible to have symptoms that are similar to reactive hypoglycemia without actually having low blood sugar. True reactive hypoglycemia symptoms that are caused by low blood sugar occurring after eating are uncommon. For the majority of people with postprandial symptoms, the actual cause of the symptoms is not clear but may relate to what food was eaten or variations in the timing of the food moving through the stomach and intestinal tract.

Hello everybody,
I thought I would give you an update as to my healing, since I'm not as active on the board as I used to be.
After having weaned off a 1 year (3 mg) Entocort-treatment (slowly, slowly) in the mid of June, my health issues are more or less gone. To be on the safe side, I have been taking Zyrtec twice a day in the weeks after I quit Entocort entirely,
I now know what I have to completely avoid, i.e. gluten, casein, soya and partly eggs, and if I get bloated or don't feel well, I can easily point out what may have caused the problem.
Now that I'm aware of the postprandial hypoglycemia issue, I have started eating every 3 hours, and I don't have the sweating (kind of fever feeling) any more.
I still follow Tex' recipe of vitamin B (the equivalent to Metanx), 10.000 i.u. vitamin D, Magtein, and cod liver oil. I also use a lot of unrefined sea salt and coconut oil. Home made bone broth is a life saver!
Having my health back is all due to this forum, especially Tex, and all the nice people here
The doctors are completely ignorant when it comes to MC, both in Norway and elsewhere in the world, unfortunately. They just listen politely and prescribe medication, and that's about it.
Just back from a trip to my home in the northern part of Norway, above the Polar Circle, where the midnight sun is. The trip and the stay went smoothly with no toilet running or other problems.
PS: The lump in my breast was not cancer!
Love,
Lilia

Hi Lilia,
It was nice to read such a great update from you this morning. I'm glad that cancer was ruled out, and your health is so much better now. And it's so nice that you can enjoy traveling again without having to worry about finding a toilet in a hurry.
You've worked very hard to get to this point, so you deserve to be able to enjoy life again. Good for you.
Thank you for such an inspiring update.
Love,
Tex
