18. ANYTHING ELSE WORTH NOTING? trying to get a lot of sleep this week between weddings. it needs to be noted that i went almost a day without chromium sodium and it's absence started triggering neurological effects in my body. for instance, I would turn my head to the right and then my right arm/mouth would start twitching and kind of get "stuck". This continued to happen until i had about 2 viles of the solution in my system.

ALso! Saturday, the day I shot a wedding, I had E-S pop my lower back with a bear-hug. (you know you pick someone up and kind of swing them until the pressure releases?) well, he squeezed my ribs verrryyyy hard and i started saying "that's to hard! i'm going to pass out! I am going to pass out!!" i felt a rush of blood to my head and heard the sound of a heart monitor beeping along with the smell you smell when you go under for surgery. I also heard nurses and doctors shouting "wake up! wake up! she's not waking up!" It felt SO REAL. Then, my vision starts to tunnel back and I hear someone saying "wake up! are you ok? meg! are you ok?" .. as i was still hearing the monitor beeping i heard e-s's voice.. then i slowly saw his face and I was right back where i was (which seemed like decades ago), in his arms with my back being popped.

As I came back, I was told that I "was only out for a second, my body just went limp.. then it started twitching a bit as if struck by electricity.. no, it wasn't long at all."

My first POTS/ dysautonomia experience now in the books. definitely not looking forward to another one.
