Re: scary morning!/Trista

[Guest guest]

Hi Trista, I'm glad I'm not alone on this. I felt the embarrassment too, but too paniced and confused to admit that. You really should have told your doctor. Don't you just love it when people don't believe you, like your lying or something! who in their right mind (LOL) would make up such things is beyond me. I was so confused for days prior to the bad day that I didn't even know I was confused ( that's scary in itself especially that I live alone). and yes, the people I work with are my closest friends too and just great and caring people. I used to work there full time years ago, but left beacause I needed a job with insurance ( it's a small flower shop business) I've maintained my relationships with all of them and helped out intermitintly with holiday work. when I was let go from my full time job, because of the MS ( yes, there is an active discrimination case against them) My current

Boss called me to see if I wanted to work there PT. Great People! Thanks for your support. Peace, CandaceTrista wrote: That has happened to me once, but I was able to get home on my own. I never told the Dr. I felt so embarrassed when it happened, especially when they all were telling me that there is nothing wrong with me. I'm

glad you are ok, and that your boss and co-workers took such good care of you. Hugs, Trista~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*April is Autism awareness monthSome disabilities are invisible. scary morning! Hello every one! I justwanted to share my

scary experience that happened this morning: for tjhe last 3 days I have had numbness on my left side, but this morning it ws 10 times worse and I was in a complete fogg; forgot breakfast (brush in my hand, not quite knowing what to do with it and stuff like that). It was my second day back to work. I left the house still in a fog and hurting. I drove in a stupor and as I was getting off the exit, I completly had no idea where I was, nothingf was familiar, I could have been in Germany for all I knew. I couldn't recognise anything. I started to panic, I knew I was going to work, but did not know how to get there. I pulled imto thte first parking lot I saw, which was a restrant and was empty. I was in full panic mode and crying and then I remembered I had a cell phome and new my boss's number was on there ( thank God for cell phones!) I called him and told him what was happening, he told me to look around for aname of the restraunt, I found it and he

knew exactly where I was. He told me that he would coime get me as soon as another employee came in, at which time a state trooper came in the parking lot. my boss told me to ask him for help and call him back. I did and he couldn't understand what I was trying to tell him, because I was scared and crying and I couldn't get my words out right. I told him I had MS and did not recognise anything and that I think I was having a "mis-fire" I thought he was going to pull his gun out at that point LOL! however he asked me what that meant, I tried to explain it to the best of little ability at that point. he called an ambulance and checked me for a possible stroke (not!) he asked if I had problems with my vision. I have glasses on and can't see out of one eye! ya think! in the ambulance they checked my blood besides other vitals. My blood sugar was 44! itshould be around 177. when I was at the hospital, after the gluclose and

food, they bought it up to 144. The Doctor said that I had hypoglycemia, which I knew and I told usually I will feel light headed and on the verge of passinf out but never experienced this, he stated because of all the scarring , my neurotransmitters sent a signal to my memory instead (mis-fire!!) and caused another exacerbation. MRI and (x-rays?) He did not order a tx because I will be seeing my neuro soon and he is not one so I have to wait till I see the new Doc. meanwhile the damage is already done! He released me and told me not to drive or be alone for 24 hours. My friends from work picked me up and brought me to the restraunt where my car was. one drove my car home for me and the other bbrought me home. they stayed for as long as poss. and my son will be here tonight or very soon since I started this email at around 4pm and it is now 6:52pm. I,m very scared about this whole new experience. has anyone else experinced this

before. I have been driving a couple of times and I did not recognise where I was, but it has only lasted a few seconds, nothing as serious as this though. thanks for letting me share, you are the only people who really understand and I appreciate you all ever so much! I probably won't be on typing for a while, but will check in. when my son gets here I'm going to bed, been a rough one today! so if I do'nt get the chance, I wish you all a blessed and safe Holiday now. peace & love, Candace Candace H.

When it happened to me, I had my cell phone. I called DH and he "talked me down" from my panic.

Take care of you.
