I need a hug today. I’m not usually one to complain, but I had a really bad scare yesterday and it frightened my 6 year old grandson so badly that he started throwing up. I know they say that FM won’t kill you but sometimes I wonder. 5 years after having FM I developed diabetes. I’m sure it was from the rapid weight gain caused FM meds, or just FM. 2 years ago I suffered a grand mal seizure after taking Voltarin a common anti-inflammatory. Luckily when I had the seizure while in the shower, my daughter and grandson were here and thus my life was saved after the paramedics got me breathing again. My daughter was watching over me because I was covered in hives, I was convulsing and shaking uncontrollably. Mind you that she had all ready taken me to the ER and my doc and both released me. Yesterday I went to the park with my grandson and while there I started feeling sick and light headed. I told my grandson we had to get home quick because I wasn’t feeling well. I was on my electric scooter and he was on his razor scooter and the park is only a block away. But I started shaking so badly on the way home I could hardly steer the scooter. We got in the house and I immediately checked my blood sugar and asked my grandson to grab me some orange juice. My sugar was the lowest I have ever seen it. My grandson handed me the juice and said he had to throw up and ran to the bathroom. So I’m in the bathroom holding his head with one hand and trying to drink the juice with the other and I’m shaking so bad I sit on the shower stool. I ended up calling 911 and everything is OK now. I’ve never had a problem with keeping my sugar regulated and there is no reason for this to have happened. I realized after everything calmed down that my grandson was so upset over seeing me shaking and thinking I was going to have another seizure that it made him physically ill. Poor little guy. We are very close and it just breaks my heart that he had to see that happen to me again. I’m still all shook up over the entire incident. |
