I was driving to surprise my mom, had my two oldest with me. I stopped and got a 5 hour energy drink cause, well, I'm addicted. It was my third that day. I had taken all 3 within about 4 hours or so. I had to pull over because I got dizzy. But it didn't get better and I started to shake. Thought maybe it was a sugar issue so I drank some coke, made it worse. Drank some kool-aid (only other thing I had in the car) and it didn't help. I had eaten 2 pieces of toast early that morning but figured I'd eat something else. DS had half a peanut butter cookie left so I ate it. Went to drive again and felt REALLY sick. So I turned around thinking I'd just drive back home. It got really bad so I pulled into a Valero that had a restaurant attached. They had me sit in there and gave the kiddo's something to drink to occupy them and I got really confused. I didn't really understand who I was or where I was. They called 911.
How embarassing.
So the EMT guys get there and I am freezing cold, shaking like a leaf, nauseated, can't catch my breath, dizzy, feel like I'm going to pass out or have a seizure, and my speech is slurred. They check my blood sugar and it was 84. Blood pressure was a little high but I was also in distress. My O2 was fine at 99%. Took me and the kids in the waaambulance to some hospital 10 miles away. This entire time I'm still having these episodes. After 3 tries they get an IV in and get fluids going but I still feel like shit.
My heart beat would go from 105 down to 70 and then jump back up, then fall down. They did an EKG but it was normal. All my labs were normal. My blood sugar at the hospital was in the 120's. They said the only explanation they could come up with is caffeine overdose. They gave me a xanax to counteract the anxiety part of it and sent me home.
That was saturday and I am still so dizzy I can't drive. I still feel short of breath at times. I have a hard time talking because I get confused or studder.
I don't know what the hell is wrong with me. I don't have a doctor and can't really afford to have one. *sigh*
drama..drama
1 Glad you are okay
2 that's some scary shit
3 OMG
4 ok 84 is moderate level sugar 120 is borderling high pass 126 you are diabetic. so yes def sugars. Diabetics feel the same way you did when their sugars are too low and too high. Too low they get sick headache nausea want to pass out. Same way when thier sugar is too high same symptoms. Their is really now way to check unless you have a kit to check your sugars. Too low you need sweet to bring back up too high you need insulin to bring down.
Hun you need to find a doctor pronto. yes the caffeine drinks were a bit to much. but you still want to get checked. I had to rush DH to ER one night cause he had blurry vision and his head was hurting shortness of breath and chest pains. Glad I did High Blood Pressure (190) Sugars (160) were all high he was short of a hearattack.
I can't stress the importance of drinking those drinks with extreme caution. I had a friend who went in to a comma and ended up dying. Had diabetes self medicating with his mom's insulin lived on these drinks and up and had a seizure coma and died. Not entirely to fault with the drinks but they did have a hand. He drank them everyday.
I am sorry about your $$ situation please please get checked. Hope you feel better very very soon.
Glad everyone is OK, feeling loved, doesn't like anyone but each other. Pee instead of Poo?
It's Monday!
Take care of yourself
But, after a week or so, I felt totally fine, so hopefully that will be the same for Dreemedayze.
Oh I can ABSOLUTELY understand your frustration with the couch mess - kiddos choose the weirdest places to have accidents :/ I think your kiddo (excluding the couch) is doing really really well!!! HUGS HUGS
But, it is Monday now and a new week, so hopefully all will return to normal..
I am dragging today.. is it bad that I am already thinking about bedtime tonight and it is only 10:30 am??
Oh I am sorry - it IS Monday - back to normal progamming ... little Miss M went poopie in the potty for the first time!!! YEAH!
Don't feel badly about thinking about bedtime ... I am as well!!! HUGS
HUGS HUGS HUGS HUGS y'all .... I foresee no shopping in my future today.
Good to have you over here in TCC! And thanks for the tip on the Branson T before, it was very helpful!
On that note, they have started setting Halloween stuff up
Update on my oldest son.. so, he broke up with his GF Friday night, and yesterday he is all happy and tells me they are going to be "best friends" now So, I pretty much tell him as a wise parent, that I doubt that will work so well.. It will be very hard to be "friends" with the person you said the day before that you loved and hoped to marry one day. I personally think it is odd.. As of Tuesday, she needed a break and some space, so they weren't talking on the phone, texting, etc.. Friday they break up, and they talked on the phone for hours saturday... I think my son is just head over heals for this girl, and is so happy that she is talking to him again, that he is accepting the friend thing without thinking it through.. I wonder how he will like being a "best friend" when she wants to date someone else. I told him that I think they should definitely end on nice terms and it is okay to talk at church and stuff, but I don't think they can be the buddies he thinks they will.. Just won't work.. but, I am a stupid mom, so what do I know
Off topic (well heck, I guess the whole thread is).. anyone here ever try that "perfect brownie" pan??
Sounds like your DS ex-girlfriend found someone she liked ("let's take a break") , and then started seeing him ("the breakup") , and now the new guy may not be the best for her, so she's keeping her options open. Women are so complicated!
I blame that shirt for my atheism.
He fell down an entire flight of stairs sleepwalking (broke his right arm in 3 places) and dislocated his OTHER shoulder-arm socket. Basically couldn't do anything with his arms for many weeks.
Several years ago SIL lived one and a half blocks from a major highway with no houses behind her, and had a huge pond to the right of their house. Brother was woken up in his bed by the dog next door licking his face. The front door was open (which allowed the dog in), and nephew was no where to be found. They found him about 100 ft from the road (he had walked around the pond) and he was still asleep, walking towards the road.
We thank God for the dog! They put a bar lock on the outside doors at the top, so he couldn't open the door and get out anymore.
My DD sleeps with her eyes open, now that is creepy!

After many doctors and many tests, I finally found a doctor that was bound and determined to figure out what is going on with me. Turns out that I have Lyme's disease. It is Stage 3, which is I've had it for months or years before "treatment". The Lyme thingies (can't remember if they are a virus or what the exact name for it is) are corkscrew shaped, so it can go thru blood, tissue, muscle, everything. There isn't a lot that is known exactly about Lyme, and there is much debate about it, but they are beginning to see a connection with Lyme and 4 diseases that have unknown origins. Alzheimers, Parkinson's, MS, and 1 other one. I know it has completely messed me up, and I have some of the weirdest things happen. For example, when I sweat, I bleach my clothes. Not just underarms (that it could be attributed to deodorant), but many places. The weirdest is my hair. I'm blonde anyways, but when I sweat a lot and often, my hair gets that weird reddish color that it gets when you bleach it with peroxide. It also gets very brittle and breaks and falls out often. When I go and get my hair cut, they always make a comment about, "if you would get your hair cut more often" and "if you wouldn't dye your hair". Umm.. I've never dyed my hair, I don't use a hair dryer or any other hair appliance, it's just my body's PH is off.
I also, and never did before, now have adverse reactions to caffeine. Sodas are fine in moderation, but if I have an energy drink or even the Migraine medicine with caffeine in it (Goody's, Excedrine, ect..) I get jittery, feel sick to my stomach, dizzy, usually throw up, and then take a good long nap before I can feel somewhat normal again.
Jamie - I hope you find out what's wrong, and feel better!
Weird thing today happened at work. I was stocking in Domestics, and I had to do a double take at the clearance end cap. Sitting on it was a comforter, in a bag, with a big Wal-Mart clearance sticker on it. I pull the comforter off, and it's the Wal-Mart brand. The comforter itself didn't match the picture (not even close), and was full of burn marks and some other yellow baby poop looking stain (which you can plainly see thru the bag). Upon close inspection, the clearance sticker was from 08/2008! There was no bar code on the package anywhere.
The ETL was PISSED! She's normally a really good natured, always in a good mood, wish you could be her, person.
I hope Ank pops in and will let us know is baby Mavis is ok, since its hard to tell if squealer is credible or not, I'm curious who she/he really is!
Hope everyones having a happy monday!

ANk posted last night that all was well & that they were heading for bed
What I don't understand is if there so against jokes etc, why come start one about mavis of all things?, that's just not funny to include someones baby, for no aparent reason.
My grandma gave me a green sweater with birds ironed onto it. Around the birds was glitter.
I was afraid to wear it for fear I'd get shot.
This year though... it was bad. A pile of gift wrapped fail.
I got a box of "gourmet" hot chocolate from my DBF... when it was over 90 degrees out. That was all he gave me - plus I still have boxes and boxes of Swiss Miss from last year.
His family gave me assorted jewelry - after I had told them only last month I don't like to wear any.
On another note sounds like your on the good list at work, can u imagine if a customer found that comforter!
Which Target is this that's limiting to 2 coupons?? I don't wanna ever go there
The good deal is really at Hy-Vee on cereal through today (or tomorrow depending on when your ad ends)! Did you get any yet?? I think I am up to 72 boxes (some will get donated) because it's a money-maker. I think if I bring in any more dh might think I've lost it. Using some of my cats to buy freezer-safe canning jars to to jam with all of the produce left over from T
Hope you had a good vacation!
The Target where I usually shop is in Mason City. I occasionally go to Fort Dodge but it's an hour either direction and Mason City is a super plus I just like Mason better that Fort Dodge.
I haven't had any problems or restriction there in the past. I don't usually go overboard either, but since I get there so rarely I have used 4 - 5 identical coupons in the past with no problems or questions.
I always warn (with a smile) my cashier that I have a ton of coupons. When I got in line the first time, I mentioned coupons and she told me that they had had a policy change could now only accept 2 per transaction. She was very nice -- not at all the "so there" attitude. So, I told her I would step off somewhere else and divide my cart into multiple transactions. She just said ok and acted like that was fine.
After I divided everything into another cart, a carry basket, and a pile on the floor including the appropriate the coupons. I proceeded to head to the check out again. The first cashier had a line so I went to another one. I said something about multiple transactions because the other girl had told me I could only use two and she said that yeah, it's a new policy and was because people were getting gift cards and returning stuff for cash and that the limit help curtail that.
Anyway, to make a short story long
I haven't been to HyVee to do the cereal deal. Didn't even know about it. We left last Sat. so the new ad wasn't out yet and I haven't even bothered to look at it since we got back. It's HyVee, it's not like there is usually anything worth getting too excited about! Leave it to them to toss out a deal when I'm not looking.
Ok - what is the dealio with HyVee? I have never been there but there is one about 45 min from here ... is it worth going to? Do you like them?
Once in a while they will have something really good but for the most part their sales are a joke -- and what they occasionally think of as "Red Hot Deal" is enough to make you fall on the floor laughing at them.
We do have a HyVee thread in the grocery section. It's quite the relaxed thread since there is usually very little to report. Come on over.
I just live in a really rural area where there is a only HyVee and a Fareway and HyVee happens to be the lesser of two evils so to speak. That's all I have unless I want to drive an hour each way to Target or Wal-Mart.
I only have 3-4 left but I think I'll try only eating 1/2 per day.
