Lindy where R U
I am here for a minute Mom. I have been throwing up ALL day. This is the first time I have been able to sit up for more than 10 mins. I am signing out after I post this I think. I will try to come back later.
I don't know if you saw the post Mom, but the Cardio said I do have Dysautonomia. I had to do more tests & see more dr.s. I go back to the cardio on Tuesday. We are fine tuning some of my meds (getting off of some PTL!!! and on another) and he will determine what type of DYS I have. We can work thru it, it just takes more preperation than before......I have been to the hospital a couple times after blacking out. That takes a toll on us!!! IT involves all of us!
I can't eat. I have lost about 22 lbs now since May.
I HAVE to drink G2 (low sugar Gatorade) Doctors orders. People with DYS have to drink it b/c of the sodium. DYS patients have to KEEP their fluid and salt UP. I am going to start a pill to keep it UP. Other wise my BP goes to the FLOOR. At the Neuro yesterday, the nurse flipped b/c my BP was 60/40 sitting. I told her she should see it when I stand. ekkkkk NOT!
AND I can eat crackers. THATS IT! I just can't eat. I do try to eat a protein bar. Sometimes I can eat an Oh Yeah! bar over about 2 days.
I miss not being here as much. I do read some, I just can't be here long.
I love you & everyone else here!!!!!!
