I have Hypoglycemia
I haven't been feeling well lately. It's not a big deal really, just dizziness, blacking out, trouble breathing and memory loss during these short times. All right, so it might be a little problem. It hasn't been fun. And I'm really glad I went to the doctor. He did some blood tests and now we know what we're dealing with. I need to get on a diet, so I won't feel like this anymore. It's scary blacking out. AND scary going on a diet. I swear that if I didn't have a fast metabolism I'd be over 400 pounds. I just like eating what I want to--cheese, coke, chips and cookies.
Anyway, two weeks ago, I blacked out on the stairs, and luckily grabbed onto the railing before I fell down. That's when I decided to visit the doctor! How scary to have that happen while taking care of the Zombie Elf (4) and Doctor Jones (3).
Only a couple of people have known about this. It's not something I wanted to shout from the rooftops. . . . Comprende?
I guess I have hypoglycemia.
After these "episodes"--when I'd apparently not eaten the right things--I joked telling Cade, it's a good thing I wrote memoirs, because at this rate, I'm just losing my mind and my memories. Was it Alzheimer's? Adult onset autism? A brain tumor? This is partly a joke, honestly I've been really worried. It sucks blacking out so much, wondering if the next time I'd faint completely. I could just envision myself at an old folk's home--at thirty years old! Reading my own damn books and wondering who wrote them.
Anyway, this isn't a huge problem now. I'm excited to meet with the dietician and make a plan. This is better than a tumor, really.
I hope all of you are doing great. When things settle down with my health everything should go back to normal.
Here's a video of my last signing. It kinda cracks me up because, looking back, I always eat the same things before a signing/playing gig. I always feel better. Now I know why! Maybe my brain has been trying to tell me something subconsciously LOL!
