This is the first time I've visited any sort of forum. So pls have patience, I just need help dealing with this right now. I've always battled it alone, but as I get older I'm finding it more difficult.
I was diagnosed with GS at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota in 1991. Since then I been in and out of hospitals several times with low potassium and magnesium. I get my IV but after a few days the symptoms return. My symptoms don't seem the norm. I usually can recognize when I'm going to crash. I usually have a day of excessive urination. Then my symptoms start which include fatigue, irritability, nausea, anxiety, depression and depersonalization. This past episode snuck up on me three weeks ago. I was under a lot of stress wasn't eating properly, got run down, began vomiting and when I finally was admitted into the hospital after three trips to emergency over a week my potassium was 2.1. And I had lost 25lbs. I spent five days in the hospital not eating for four of those. The thought of food made me physically sick. I started feeling better for a few days but then the loss of appetite started, the anxiety and now the depression.
Does anyone else with GS suffer from unexplained anxiety and depression? That's the two symptoms I have the most trouble with as it affects my family the most.
Thank you for this avenue to seek support.
