◎ Measure your blood sugar if your blood pressure is normal.
If your blood pressure is within a normal range, you may have hypoglycemia. For an accurate diagnosis, an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and continuous blood sugar measuring (Free Style Libre Pro) indispensable. The OGTT test requires you to drink a sweet liquid containing 75g of sugar. You are also asked for blood samples before and after drinking the glucose solution. Blood samples are taken at 30-minute intervals over a period of 3 hours. The test measures the levels of blood glucose, insulin, glucagon, anti-insulin antibody and c-peptide.
In fact, many people have hypoglycemia, but they don’t know it.
Changing your lifestyle is the first step to treat hypoglycemia.
The next step is pharmacotherapy. We have discovered lactic acid bacteria that is particularly effective for hypoglycemia. It helps prevent the overproduction of insulin and the decrease of blood glucose levels.
Our treatment has enabled a number of patients to return to normal life and realize their potential.
We will help you learn to control your hypoglycemia. You can build a fulfilling life.
◎ Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), hypotension and hypoglycemia
Various disorders are hidden in the shadow of fibromyalgia. A doctor’s role is to identify what conditions are hidden in a patient. Hypotension (orthostatic hypotension) and hypoglycemia (reactive or functional types) are found in many FMS patients. There are more underlying conditions, including thyroid hormone deficiency (hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto’s disease) and arteriosclerosis. FMS often coexists with hypotension, hypoglycemia and Hashimoto’s disease.
These disorders are curable if treated properly. The key is early detection and treatment.
◎ Fibromyalgia syndrome and psychosocial problems: trauma and balneotherapy
Some FMS patients struggle with psychosocial problems that stem from disturbing events, such
as child abuse and neglect, natural disasters, war experience and bullying. Memories of traumatic
experiences are stored in the brain, and even contribute to the development of chronic pain when
combined with the sensation of pain. In other words, FMS patients are troubled by their emotional
and psychological trauma.
Many American veterans have FMS perhaps because of their experience of war and a pang of conscience. In Japan, FMS is sometimes the result of childhood trauma, including bullying, sexual or physical abuse, and parental denial.
Memories of traumatic experiences are interpreted psychologically, socially and existentially, and therefore they don’t go away easily. Taking psychoactive medicines does not help much, either. It is psychotherapy, or more specifically, logotherapy that should be used.
The Japanese Society of Existential Therapy and International Foundation of Comprehensive Medicine have been training therapists to be logotherapists (RIL) so that they can treat trauma.
Our psychotherapists are qualified as logotherapists. They will assist you in dealing with your tauma.
Balneotherapy also benefits FMS patients. It helps them recover from trauma and build a new life. They are also encouraged to reflect on their life in such an extraordinary setting as a spa.
Unfortunately, we are currently unable to offer a spa where we can practice balneotherapy. So, we will ask you to find a spa on your own if you wish to try this treatment. We will then carefully look into the spa of your choice. Ask for more information at the clinic.
We are here to help you work through trauma. You can be free from pain and make your life more lively.
