[piratecat]

[piratecat]

[piratecat]

i feel like jelly, iwas fine till then

[Dragonbutter]

has it happened before?

get thee to the doctor!

[solo]

Sounds similar to one I had a long time ago. Is there any other reason you can think of why you'd feel like this?

[piratecat]

have had the other type before, strating in throat.

had migraine two days ago, maybe related, have been here bfore. nothad tummy feeling

[Dragonbutter]

are you feeling any better?

[piratecat]

no just out of it feeling and headache coming

have had 'migrainous' epsiodes before, may be linked. had checks few yrs ago, all ok.

was ok, looking forward to today as wether bit bettrer.

always underlying stress cos of dd's dad, so nothing different there.

Is low blood pressure a possibility? Or even low blood sugar, I know you said you had breakfast but that wouldn't rule it out...worth getting checked out.

[Dragonbutter]

how do you normally deal with the migraines?

[piratecat]

maybe? i am not sure of what those are. or why they happen.thanks

[piratecat]

i have to go to bed, not easy tho with dd.

maybe it is low blood thing?

[Dragonbutter]

go eat something and have a lie down on the sofa.
is there anyone you can call to come round?

[piratecat]

ok, still feel fuzzy, and floppy.

will eat soemthing, just hade cup of tea.

[poshtottie]

what did you have for breakfast? and at what time? Have you had caffeine?

[piratecat]

had bowl of cheerios at about 9

[piratecat]

oh had cup of tea at 8 ish

[poshtottie]

I have highs and lows with my blood sugar and feel like this. Caffeine and sugary foods for breakfast will trigger it a couple of hours later.

If I am pre-menstrual it sometimes is worse. My doctor checked my thyroid levels but they came back fine.

[piratecat]

i wonder? I have often had tea at breakfast, and sugary type tings, like alpen or rice crispies with some dates.

weird it should just happen likethat. i have a headache coming now tho.

[Dragonbutter]

i'm going offline now.
hope you feel better soon.

[piratecat]

still feel woozy, 'not there ' type thing, have eaten a roll, will lie down now. feel knackered.

[piratecat]

thats good toknow, that's what i always think, 'where the hell did that come from'

i wil take it easy, but i am not working so my life is easy that way.

it was just different from my other panics iyswim.

thnakoyu everyone
