Hey, it's OK, now that we're on the same page, right?
Thanks for all your input. I will be asking my doctor about these drugs, because today was another bad day. I was actually too far gone to write out my readings, because I couldn't remember how. Breakfast was a total no-no, a huge chunk of cheddar cheese in hopes of raising myself. An hour and a half later I was below 60 again. I cancelled my afternoon clients, and came home, where I lay down and woke up again an hour later at about 205... (So, about six hours after that cheese.) This is so counter-intuitive for me!
I'll be picking up my Effexor on my way back to work, though, so I'll see if that gets me back on track...

If not, you should look into this. If I recall correctly, some of these same problems can cause simultaneous depression and other mental disorders, and occur most often in women.No, actually I don't know about these, except for the gestational diabetes. I know that I suffer from what's called Luteal Phase Defect, so maybe they're related? (LPD is basically just really rapid cycling. I'm on a perfect set-your-calendar-by-it 22 day cycle, so eggs can't implant in my uterus - no time to do so.) Can you recommend anywhere I can go to read up on this?
Thanks again for all your information!
