Last night when I went to bed, I had a bout of vertigo.  For a minute the room went sideways and I thought I was going to pass out.


Today, I am still having slight feelings of it fearing I might black out whilst driving.  I got to work.  Getting bloodwork on Tuesday and hopefully I will get some answers.  I am having to rely on Roomie alot and grateful he's here.  I found a medication I can take that is suppose to eliminate acid up to 94% in foods, so I had my first cup of low acid coffee this morning and will see how I tolerate it.  I think I must be dehydrated from the other medical issue I was having-drinking gatorade this morning at work.


Not going to get in the habit of having it daily but after almost a week of not having it, it was a comfort to me this morning.  Maybe every Friday I shall do this.  Ready for answers. I feel awful.

Sounds like dehydration. Or you aren’t getting enough nutrients. You may be making way too many dietary changes at once and your body is reacting. If you are limiting your food intake you may impeding hydration (foods can be a source of hydration) and nutrition.

If it were me, I’d eat normal and just see what your doctor ultimately recommends. But I get wanting to try things to make you feel better. But until your situation is formally diagnosed you may not really be helping yourself. Not sure.

Yeah- I found out the otc meds (Prelief) I was taking should be carefully taken. The box makes it sound like you can take it anytime you eat. Ive been popping it like candy.

I think it’s less a medication and more a a supplement. Dosing may not be one size fits all.

Nothing but peanut butter sandwiches isn’t good and will definitely cause constipation. Caffeine is a diuretic, will suck the water out of your body and aggravate your bladder, and help further the constipation caused by eating nothing but peanut butter. Your bowel needs water to operate effectively.

    We all have 24 hours in a day.  How we spend these hours is important.  Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do.  Gonna have to work on that.Your turn.  Tell me another truth.
