not being smart but maybe a lake isnt the best place to be until meds are sorted out also driving should be stopped too

takes along long time to get the meds just right. Write down every episode to show to docs so they know what they are dealing with. Nephew now has no fits-thank god- just absences, he could be talking away and would stop mid sentence

You are a very lucky girl.

You need to stay in company until you get the meds sorted.

Happened my dad a few years back he would go walking after lunch collapsed on the side of the road 2 lorries passed and never seen him. A neighbour found him and came to the door but OH was working and I was out on the farm so she called an ambulance. I had left him in the house as I thought he looked tired and could do with a snooze. Some fright when I got back.

Just on another note the young lads were cycling to the pitch last night and had an accident with a car. First time I ever seen a 12 yr old kill a car, he has done at least 1k of damage to the front of it.

No was cycling to pitch and the road is twisty enough the car came around the bend and braked a stopped in the middle of the road one lad went by on the left side and he had to go around the passenger side but misjudged it and struck the bumper on at the lights flying up onto the bonnet. He broke the bumper, light and put a massive dent in the bonnet and cracked the windscreen. Not a scratch on him and the bike is fine only the handle bars are mis aligned. Could have being killed on the spot so what do you say to him.

Few acres of old bog here that's the same. Grows good grass but sum tlc needed at times to. Kind off afraid to drain it to much as it's very peetey soil and it might do more harm than good.

Not giving such fields tlc in such conditions is how some land is in such bad condition IMO

I'm ok, just seems to have been triggered by low blood sugar. Have a blood sugar testing kit thingy now to do every so often. I always have had low blood pressure but doc was concerned by me drinking 3-4 litres of water every day, which I always have done as I would feel faint otherwise.


But anyway....yea sports, I'm allowed cycle/bike ride...my bike is a mountain bike! Mountain biking? Close enough to a safe sport:pac::D
For those that know it was a grand mal seizure followed by a petit mal.
Every single muscle in my body hurts today.

Low sugars, eat more chocolate

And don't really like chocolate. I'm fecked!

would low blood sugar not mean diabetes?

No I was blood tested for everything last time in hospital, low blood pressure & sugar. Just one of those people that seems to have odd bloods.

Possible hemochromatosis (spelling) so give more blood though.
And no fizzy drinks for me bar coke whelan, lucozade makes me burrrrrrrp:D

No. High blood sugar. In diabetes the body processes the food and releases it into the blood but the body doesn't produce enough insulin to move the sugars into the cells to fuel them. So they top up their insulin produced with an injection of more to get the sugar into the cells.

But if too much insulin is given then the blood sugar drops and the diabetic gets a 'hypo' where the brain more or less starts to shut down leading into a possible coma, which is the situation where most people come across diabetics.

Only really reading back now, that's exactly how I go beforehand. Almost drunk acting/like a stroke. I normally get tunnel vision too and go far whiter than usual.. My meds are varied, was on 25mg, then 50mg, now on 200. Can't even look at cattle by rghts but if that stops I'll feckng die! I have to
