The pledge

Just for today, I will try very hard not to eat past my full point.  I had an issue last night.  I have Reactive Hypoglycemic, and a couple hours after my sushi dinner, my vision got narrow, I felt drunk (which I now HATE HATE HATE), and my legs got week.  I thought I was having an RH episode, so I grabbed a bowl of cereal and wolfed it down.  But instead of feeling better, I started to feel way worse.  I got seriously hot -- like it felt like my temp was 500 degrees.  And then I was sweating.  I am always cold, and rarely sweat.  Even in that 100 degree heat, I was sleeping with the ceiling fan and no AC.  But yesterday my eyes were sweating, my nose, upper lip, armpits -- hell, even my knees were sweating.

It took a few minutes, but then I realized what it was -- a freakin' HOT FLASH.  This menopause crap is not for sissies!  I had to lay down after that.  My heard was racing and took quite a while to return to normal.

LOL. . .  not laughing at you, but because of the symptoms. . . my own experience with them is one where I was at work, got up from my desk to do something, was dizzy, heart palpitations, sweating profusely and this was 10 or so years ago when I weighed about 230 lbs., so I go to the hospital because with my family history I was sure it was a heart attack, 1.5 days later, after having my blood drawn every so many hours, because that's how they determine if you've had a heart attack and sometimes it takes up to 24 hours for the markers to show up in your bloodstream, enduring the ER, actually having a person die in the next area, because there were no rooms upstairs for me, the doctor told me that in all likelihood it was a hot flash, as it can mimic symptoms of a heart attack for those who've never had one. . . I felt like a total idiot until about a week or two later, Oprah had a show about it and she experienced the exact same thing I did. . .

Nope, not for sissies, but thankfully, I have not had many, seems since I had my surgery I've had more than I did the entire time prior, but usually happens in the summer when it is extremely hot. . .

Hugs, L

Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone!
 

 Ok, I had the exact same thing happen the other night!  I thought I was a reaction to something I ate. I thought there had to way to cool down. It was like my body was on fire.  

You are not alone. Menopause.  I can't beleive it! 

Seriously!!!!!
