I had a scary night last night. Nina woke me up about 0300 needing to go to the sandbox. I carried her down to the basement and, while I was standing guard for her - the little punk was in the basement - I started to feel really sick to my stomach. It happens randomly so I went to sit down, that normally help and did a little. Then when I had to pick Nina up to go back up to the bedroom, the nausea got worse and I started to get dizzy. No increased heart rate or breathing, but right after I put Nina down and shut the door behind me, I passed out. Only about ten seconds and luckily I landed on the bed, but still. No clue what caused it or what happened, but I looked up both withdrawl symptoms for Advil and immediate symptoms for natural gas exposure. I figured, since it's been about two weeks, that it's possible I finally hit withdrawl for the Advil I'd been taking for a year but all the reports I read said that it only happens in about 20% of the population who take over 1,200 mg a day for that long. Symptoms reported were headache, back ache, low grade fever. Nothing that matched what happened last night. The reason for the natural gas is that's what our furnace runs on and the sandbox is right next to ours. Nothing matched. It could just be the fibro reacting to a weather system. It could be my natural low BP (it was 93/60 this morning) just acting up, but that doesn't explain the upset stomach. It wasn't my blood sugar, I know what that feels like, and I doubt it was the sandwich I had four hours previous. My food reactions are normally within half an hour of me eating.
So I'm a little short of breath, tired, with a slight upset stomach, but nothing worrying. I just don't know, but really hope it doesn't happen again. I'm not having sandwiches until I'm off shift because I don't want to risk passing out here at work - the floor to my room is cement and that would hurt - just in case it was the bread that caused something to act up in my system. There are many days I hate being delicate.
I'm not planning to update anything today. I might, but I'm in the process of rereading TDC for the final time just because I fear leaving one tiny thread unaccounted for in the whole story arc and want to make sure I have everything done. If you've noticed one please let me know. I'm not to Meeting in Miami, yet, so I'm getting through it at a reasonable rate. I should be back with updates starting tomorrow depending on how I feel.
