Disorientation
Posted: 07-24-06 13:46pm

Stan, I noticed yu list this as one of your symptoms

could you perhaps expand a little further on it please? I think I have the same problem at times aswell.

What I experience is everything seems like your in a dream. Its not a nice feeling at all and almost as if things arent real. Like I know where I am at that point but at the same time I dont know, if you get me?Lol!

Im wondering if this would be a result of anxiety stemming from hypo or from the actual hypo itself?

It is a horrible feeling - I wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy!

I have got that like 2 times. It can take up to a week to go away. It is a terrible feeling and understand exactly what your going through. Stay positive it will pass. I have read it does link to anxiety which hypoglycemia can cause.

The disorientation is more like a feeling of I don't know where I am. What you're talking about is depersonalization/derealization. I've gotten that too. I'm not sure what causes it. It's actually a brain state brought on partially by increased blood flow to one of the areas of the back that mimics a state found in meditation. I heard it's the brain trying to divert your attention to stop anxiety. It does suck, but you'll notice it go away when you start to get better. The best thing to do is to keep going, you have to almost create this "robot" personality that you activate when that crap comes on.
