Thank you so much for your well wishes and thought and prayers. It means a lot to me. I have been back to the doctor to receive the test results and conclusions. He believes it was a combination of things, which I do normally suffer from but they all combined together at once. A case of wrong time, wrong place.

  • I do have low blood pressure and that in itself is nothing major but in conjunction with the other things…
  • I have microcytic anemia.
  • I have chronic B12 deficiency.
  • I had a low blood sugar reading on that morning.

They all worked together to cause me to faint. So, I’ve had my B12 injection and will continue to be diligent with them. I’m on iron supplements as well as other stuff because I struggle with common side effects of iron supplementation. My blood sugar levels can be controlled by diet – very simply, I need to actually eat.

However, all this does fit together and explain why I have not been able to get out of bed easily, why I struggle with basic chores, why I have had difficulty breathing and why my memory was getting worse (for some things, not everything).

So as well as homeschooling one child this year , it is also a year to focus on my health. not so much weight loss and exercise (exercise has been the last thing on my mind for months!) but an improved diet, supplementation and health. And allowing myself to rest.

Again lovely ladies, thanks for your concern. 🙂

Are you ok now? I didn’t read this until after I read your later one obviously. hope you are feeling better and that you’ve got to the cause of it?

It’s hard to write about our own troubles sometimes, in fact I rarely try! But you managed to put a humorous, positive spin on it. I imagine most women would try to cover up in that situation too, even though it might not be sensible or safe. I hope you’ve caught up on some of the sleep you lost in hospital, and that you’re feeling better. Praying that the Lord gives you peace and real rest. Psalm 23 … great choice Ruby!

This was a special verse to me when I had my heart dramas. “My flesh and my heart faiteth, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Psalm 23.

Have they found the cause yet? Vertigo? Low blood pressure? Chocolate withdrawals?!?

If I were you, I’d get that order to rest framed, and hang it somewhere prominent. 🙂

Stay well, Girlie!
