Kim, I just realized your surgery was today! Please let us know how you are when you feel up to it. Hope everything went as well as it could!

I had my EUS and they didn’t find anything back in September. The problem is, for all these years of hypos, I would get adrenergic symptoms as my warning that I was going low. In the last six months, I find I get very solemn at first, without realizing that I am. Then all the sudden, I feel lightheaded. Now, I’ve noticed my vision gets VERY odd, kind of like blurry and bright at the same time. I get very focused on getting glucose, as I feel like I might pass out if I don’t hurry. Then the shaking sets in and I’m dropping things as I try to open this or that.
Can someone explain why my symptoms are changing from adrenergic to neuroglycopenic? Did anyone have experience with this happening?

I see no reason for your comment. It seemed to be one made purely to ‘troll’ Joe. Anal sex is not necessarily an unsafe practice as long as you take care not to damage your anal cavity in any way. It is only unsafe when having unclean and/or sex with someone who has a STD.

The facts that we know about the PPH patient is that he is a white male, age 45, and has a history with history of chronic reducible hemorrhoidal disease. We do not know his height, weight, sexual orientation, or anything else. And, even if the man was gay, it is clear that this was not caused by having anal sex. This was caused by not having treated hemorrhoidal disease, straining, constipation, diarrhea, or prolonged sitting, Without actually either getting our hands on his case file or asking him, we will never find out.

On a different note; this treatment seems like a suitable one depending on person and/or how bad the prolapse is. However, Tham, an above commentor, seems to have had the procedure and met with unsatisfactory results. I am not certain as to why, I’m actually a Cardiologist and researcher, and have never dealt with patients who have hemorroidal disease. Though, as I said, it seems to differentiate from person to person. However, I would say this article would be very helpful to scaring someone into taking better care of their body, that’s for sure! And, of course, taking better care of their hemorroids. But it’s also helpful if one were to be researching options to deal with their own or to find out if they themselves have prolapse.

4.5 stars from me.

A few months after I had my Whipple in 2009 I also lost a lot of hair. Luckily I have a lot of long, curly hair so nobody but me and my hairdresser noticed. After about a month it stoppet and my hair began to grow back out. Strangely enought the new hair is straight unlike my otherwise curly hair. But never mind that….

So this is just to tell you not to worry, this is not unusual after big operations or long time of illness.

Abdominal pains/spasms have decreased in intensity and duration – I’d say around eight or nine weeks after the surgery they got noticeably better. I still get them occasionally but they are much more manageable.

What I’ve noticed lately, though, over the past three weeks (I’m currently just short of three months out of surgery) is that my hair is falling out dramatically. They say this happens in a percentage of patients and that it should stop before four months and that it grows back. I checked some other blogs and read some anecdotal evidence to match that…
