Hi Michele,

WOW!  What a trying week.  Please share my grief and concern for the both of you to your husband.  It's of little comfort now, but she truly is at peace!

I see everyone here is passing along their advice so I won't add any, but please know that I am concerned about you and your blacking.  Could your blood sugar be dropping too low? Could it be narcolepsy since you aren't sleeping well at night?  Doesn't seem like high blood pressure would cause you to black out for such a long period of time?!  That is truly troublesome.  I hope you will stay on the doctors until they find the cause.

I can sympathize with you on the bug bites!  Does your head itch as well?  Mine does.  Will itch uncontrollably in other places as well!  I have to get up and take a half a  Xanax so I can relax and not focus on the itching and get back to sleep.  And, why do we never itch like this during daylight hours?

You are very much in my thoughts and prayers.  Please keep us updated.  Be careful!

Hi Michele,  I don't believe we've had the chance to chat.  Goodness, you've had a  rough week. Sounds like you better take good care of yourself or your friends will be paying you a visit.  It's always comforting to know you have friends willing to do that. What you felt when he came to talk to you wasn't strange, I think that was awesome as what you took from it was too.  Take care, Diana

Yvonne,

     I promise I have been on the couch for 2 days (well I do go to bed at night)!  No work until June 4th, at least right now anyway.  So I'm resting up!  Even the hip is good.  Hubby has been working at night, he's working again tonight.  I may just veg all weekend. :0)

     You are right about the movie, it was wonderful, hubby and I were both surprised it wasn't a main stream in theaters movie.  It was better than most of them.  Doesn't seem like they make good ones anymore, very often.

Michele

You listen to Norey about your health!!!!!!She's not old enough to be your Mommy,but I am.LOL

You know I am a worry-wart so get some more rest(especially the hip)and cut back on work hours for a bit if you can.

I didn't see the movie,but I read the book.All of his books.Really good.Everyone should see the movie or read the book....

Yvonne

Melissa,

     No, I haven't seen a neurologist, I did have a CT and an MRI done on my head, but nothing was found, so the doctor didn't think a neurology consult would help.  I was having a lot of them at one point the doctor thought it was low blood sugar, so when I started not feeling right (I do have warning) I would suck on a piece of candy and seemed to work for a long time.  My body doesn't regulate things correctly when I have a flare-up body temperature, blood pressure, etc, all fluctuate wildly when I'm not feeling well.  They just say "It's the Lupus" or "It's the Auto immune Disorder" and dismiss it.

Have you tried seeing a neurologist for the blackouts?

Melissa.

Norey,

     The Lupus is acting up a great deal right now, I've been to the doctor about the blackouts when they occur, they don't know why they happen, sugar, blood pressure, fever, are a few of theories, but we don't know.  I'm concerned too, but I don't know what else to do.

     Lawton was beautiful, I'm not sure I've ever been in a more beautiful place than I was on Wednesday.  I'm not sure my writing even did it justice.  It was unreal how beautiful it was.  I've never considered writing, my spelling is atrocious, terrible, appalling, it's bad.  Spell check is my best friend, I wish we had it on this site.  My daughter was diagnosed as being Dyslexic or having a writing disorder this year, my dad was told he was dyslexic, through the testing and questions to diagnose my daughter it appears I may have had it all along, it has kind of caused me to be shy about writing.

     My husband and I just joined Net Flix, and it was one of the DVD's we could rent, we are in the 2 week trial period right now, we'll see.  But the movie was wonderful, I am so glad I saw it.  Movies stores may have it to rent too.  I cried, but in a good way. :0)  

Michele

I'm glad that she is at peace now.  Lawton is a beautiful area,if you take the time to look around...alot of history there.

I did begin to see Five PeopleYou Meet in Heaven,but  never got to finish it.  It was on the Hallmark Channel, did you see it on DVD or TV ?  I'de like to finish it.

I wish you would take your health a little more serious...I'm not your mommy, but I don't like those black outs..too many of them.  Just concerned...Love, Norey

P.S.  Ever thought of writing a book, your very good.
