Hello ladies.
Boy have I ever had a time of it!!

For the last three days I've had a few hours each day of feeling very unbalanced, light headed and dizzy. I have to hold furniture of someone when I want to walk somewhere. Not a nice feeling...even turning my head made me feel dizzy. It last a couple of hours, then passes. I hate it ...just as well I have a doctor appointment in the morning. Oh this aging thing is not good...I am now someone else , I am not who I was....I don't know this person at all!!

I am so sorry to hear that and will keep you in prayer...ya know when I had that, I found out I was pregnant with my daughter. I am joking of course in your case. :) I do hope they find out what is wrong though. :hug:

 

[Grams]

Helen, I do not think its the old age, Its just that old age lets you catch sickness ? colds
dis-comfort ? viruses ? any way different things...... and some times it will pass, or
you may get just a little of what ever it is.... I hope you can understand this. ?
It is things I have felt and then remember some one having some thing that I got only
on the lighter side......... at times.......... Hope that is all it is for you !!

How was your doctor's appointment?

 

[Helen]

How was your doctor's appointment?

Well I was all unsteady and wobbly when in with her...so she is referring me back the the blood pressure specialist ( haven't seen him for 4 years)
She is also testing my sodium levels again.
She wants to rule it out...but if it's not that she said she wants to have my inner ear tested, for Vertigo...if that shows nothing , she wants an MRI on my brain to see if I stroked.
Two months ago I had a CT scan on my brain for a maybe stroke , which sowed nothing.

But I thought of something today ( WISH I had thought of it while I was with her) ..I have noticed I feel normal after eating.
Then I realized that Friday Saturday and Sunday...my worst days of dizziness , confusion and lack of balance...where the wedding celebrations where all three days I had about 6. 1/2 hours before eating the meal. And I was VERY dizzy , shaky, weak and unbalanced.

So now I wonder if it is low blood sugar..I want to be tested for that first....rather than jumping though all the other hoops..
Today...except for thirst thing this morning...I have been fine on or regular eating schedule. So it sound like it could by intake related.
I googled the symptoms of low blood sugar ..guess what...all the same symptoms as the low sodium and all the above mentioned symptoms. So I hope it is as easy as that...I wont know until she sends me for the glucose tests . I have requested it, but not heard from her yet.

I would appreciate a few prayers thrown my way...thanks. x

Definitely will. And yeh if you are feeling better after eating, blood sugar or blood pressure both sound possible. Hope for a quick answer for you!

And yeh I really like your avatar. I love the background just as much as the pretty face in it. :)

 

[Grams]

Well Helen this does go with old age........... Sorry.

I take a pill for ? [ heart or & blood pressure and a aspirin [low dose]
Been doing this for a few years cant remember. The last time I went to the doctor I guess
things are still the same , and no new drugs to take.

This avatar is new too this weekend. The creepy hand on my shoulder is my 24 year old grandsons :)
The doctor called this morning , she said my sodium was down again...and that I need to increase my salt intake. But she doesn't know WHY it keep dropping so low...she has asked a specialist to see me...so I'm waiting for the referral date for that. She thinks it is one of the pills that I am on...which the specialist put me on 4 years ago. Thanks for your prayers xx

If only eh!
I said to the doctor yesterday...
" I hate all this, I am no longer who I used to be...I have morphed into some old weak and wobbly lady who I do not even know!!!

Stay as young as you can Willie...the body lets us down when we least expect it!!

There is a sister, where I attend services, a widow, age 96 this year, who had 22 children. That was definitely of an old school of thought or something. She also worked for the railroad several years back. She is one of two 96 year old sisters in our congregation. They are the only members older than our pastor [age 93].
Give God the glory!

Wow 22 children!!
That reminds me that Susanna Wesley she had 19 children two of which obviously being John and Charles Wesley. The beginning of the Methodists.
All these children seem like they must have been a lot of work...but it is the older ones who raise the younger ones, while the mother is occupied with the new borns. Finding enough food was the hardest thing.
I read Susanna Wesley ALWAYS found time to spend five personal minutes during each day, just " one to one' with each of her children in turn.
Wikipedia says she herself was the youngest of 25 children.
Quote:-
Susanna Wesley was the 25th of 25 children. Her father, Dr. Samuel Annesley, was a dissenter of the established church of England. At the age of 13, Susanna stopped attending her father's church and joined the official Church of England.

She and Samuel Wesley were married on 11 November 1688. Samuel was 26 and Susanna was 19.[2]

Susanna and Samuel Wesley had 19 children. Nine of her children died as infants. Four of the children who died were twins. A maid accidentally smothered one child. At her death, only eight of her children were still alive.
