Feeling like I'm starving, or continuing to feel hungry despite a full stomach

Thanks for your posts on this, I am experiencing similar and the info is useful. Do you have any other tips to share?

 

I'm sorry that you're having to deal with it, it can be very distressing & disabling.

I think its risky to assume the driver for your symptoms is the same as mine, there are at least a few quite different reasons these issues happen. In my case interventions for POTS are essential to control my "tolerance" for carbohydrate: if I'm too active in the AM, or if I don't limit the time I spend on my feet, or if I miss medication (Ivabradine & Pyridostigmine) doses, I will struggle again after eating and/or at dawn (alongside a worsening of other POTS symptoms).

With POTS under control I am now able to tolerate a normal amount of carbohydrate and sugar in my diet, but if something disrupts that long-term I would try the Acarbose that was prescribed off-label, or I would go back on a ketogenic diet.

If you're in the UK I'd be happy to share details for the Endocrinologist I saw that helped me with all this

 

Thank you, I would like their details please, I may contact them after I've exhausted options with the GP (so probably soon ).

I hear what you say about not assuming the same cause, I was just dx PCOS which usually comes with insulin resistance so it is all making sense now. I had specific 'hypo'-like episodes of increasing frequency when I started becoming unwell with what was later dx MECFS, and eventually became unwell all of the time. I am yet to go back to the GP, they may not be interested if I am not actually diabetic despite how disabling the symptoms can be.
