Last night was suppose to be a fun night, going out to dinner at a fancy Italian restaurant then going drinking/dancing at a club in a near by casino for a co-workers, girlfriends b-day. So Justin and I got all gussied up and met everybody at the restaurant. This place was amazing, it's set on a hillside overlooking The Strip and the rest of Las Vegas oh it was beautiful. The food was good, and we had a good time talking with everyone there. Our plates were taken away and people started ordering coffee to get some energy for the coming partying. I on the other hand, started feeling really strange, like I was going to throw up. So I told Justin that I was going to the restroom. I went into the handicap stall, and was glad that no one else was inthere just in case I did throw up. I got really chilly and sweaty, and I leaned against the wall. All of a sudden, I find myself lying on the floor....I wondered why I was on the floor but just kinda stayed there for a moment then hauled myself up and it finally dawned on me...I had just fainted. So I got myself back to the table, and told Justin that we had to leave. We paid our part and left, with my head throbbing because I must have knocked my head on the tile floor, one knee was also really hurting I had managed to skin it somehow in the fall. Ugh, thankfully I fainted away from the toilet and had not knocked my head onto that.
So now I have a skinned knee, and the right side of my neck is really sore. I know why I fainted, I'm hypoglycemic, which is basically the opposite of a diabetic. Instead of not making enough insulin, I make too much and when there is not enough sugar in my body for the insulin my blood pressure plummets and I faint. Hurray.
So I think I'm going to have to find a doctor to talk to about this and maybe talk to a dietian so I know which foods to eat to keep this under control. This is the second time I've fainted, the first time was in Barnes&Noble infront of lots of people. Well, my neck hurts. I'm going to bed.

Donna, that's funny, I was thinking pregnancy too!
The same thing happens to me. When I was 8 I passed out in a Costco cart, with my mother refusing to believe me ("You ate breakfast; you're perfectly fine!). But my childhood trauma aside, I simply keep food with me at all times.
Thats the first thing that Justin's mom said over the phone, "She's not pregnant is she?" ha. Thankfully no, I'm not we did the EPT just in case. I really need to start carrying food with me, but it was just bizarre because I had just eaten, but I suppose that food hadn't been worked into my system.
It was one of those off-times in the store when they didn't have the snacks out.
Ditto Donna on the just after eating comment.
Lost news: Dominic Monaghan and Evangeline Lily are dating, and have been for some time. Yikes. We'll have to watch to see if we can see any covert lovers glances.
