@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

@jakedduck1 And further, to complete my long-winded response, Jake, I'd had no less than THREE preps in as many days for a colonoscopy/CT Colonography, with no food all week, severe diarrhea, etc. Lost all my electrolytes, WBC, Neutrophils crashed, etc., and now it's taking so long to recuperate. The first prep was at home. Ambulance, etc.
2nd at hospital with a prep error so had to have a third. Trying to get back to food tolerance, stamina, etc. And that's why I'm blacking out these days! XOXO 😘

Are you and Lizzy ess77 competing for the Guinness book of world records for the most illnesses? I must be running last compared to so many here. My Epilepsy is my only serious concern and it's so much better but will be glad when my roommate shows up just in case I go into Status. Without someone to call 911 my goose is cooked.
Speaking of a goose I want to go see if her babies hatched. I'd like to take my lunch but don't want to fix it. I'd like a pastrami sandwich, malt and a pile of onion rings or maybe chips and a malt and a banana split and a candy bar or two to crumble on top but none of the good stuff is allowed. I need a new less strict and mean doctor. I would tell her so too if she wouldn't be so happy to get rid of me. Guess I'll have to stay and make her as miserable as she makes me.
Take care kid & remember “it is what it is,
Jake
