This is what happened to me today…

I felt awful all morning. Very very tired, and I just wanted to go back to sleep but I couldn’t because I was at work. I dove home for lunch this morning to let my dogs out in the yard, and as I was driving home I just felt dizzy and like I was loosing consciousness. So I make it home ok and let the dogs out, just feeling awful and dizzy like I need to sit down, but I stubbornly refuse. Finally I sit down on a high stool to eat a peanut butter and gram cracker sandwich, take one bite, and then the next thing I just fall off the stool and fall about 3 feet on to the hard tile floor like a sack of potatoes. I don’t think I lost consciousness, but I must have in order to fall off the stool like that.

I lie there for a few minutes and hope to God that I’m not about to die on the kitchen floor right then and there. Then I get up and go sit on the couch and just start shaking like a leaf. Then I calmed myself down, jammed the gram crackers back into my mouth and drove back to work, but I was so tired that I had to pull over for 15min to take a light nap because I brain was so fried.

All in all, it was one of the most horrifying experiences of my life, and I was so glad to have survived, that I was in an awfully good mood the rest of the day, except for that I’m totally whipped. I hope to God that it was psychogenic, because if it wasn’t then I think that my brain must be melting. I’m also not telling my doctor, because doctors are useless and they already think I’m crazy enough as it is.

I also noticed that when I have these episodes I have to make several trips to the bathroom to urinate and my mouth is parched. Does anyone else have that?
