Why are you blacking out? Did your doc tell you the cause?
Are you having low blood pressure, heart problems or blood sugar issues? I think when I fainted at the grocery store I haven't eaten all day. of course with diabetes you know better than to do that.
You take care of yourself,
Jake

@jakedduck1 Hi Jake. Thanks for your concern. To answer your question, Yes, me and my doc know what's causing the blackouts. I've been a fainter for much of my life, even as a kid. The rest of it is such a long story, Jake. I have a Pacemaker, complex up-and-down blood pressure with 2 new meds to try to regulate it, Diabetes 2, (just this week I had a scarey 1.1 reading), Giant Cell Arteritis with weekly immunosuppressive Rx injections, ummm, what else? The docs have me labeled as a Complex Patient. I truly feel sorry for them. I can't type further or I'll lose this too-long response lol. XOXO
