I shared a bit of an update on my other blog so i thought i'd update here as well.
Since I my check up in Paris last October, I have been existing in a fog. Not living, but simply existing making it from one day to the next. For the past 9 months I have been suffering from headaches and dizzy spells and extreme exhaustion (wake up exhausted, drag myself through my day, nap and drop into a coma like sleep at night). I tried every thing, I changed my diet, cut out Gluten completely, i took my vitamin supplements religiously, i tried exercise. Nothing helped.
My Physician sent me to do every test imaginable, we were able to quickly rule out Brain tumor or aneurysm, but none of the treatments he tried helped. I had so much blood drawn ( my Iron was back to acceptable levels), i did an MRI and a CT Scan, then finally I was sent to the cardiologist to check my heart (everything is A-OK there) and monitor my Blood Pressure for 24 hours and after an awkward 24 hours especially at work we finally found the culprit!
I've always had low BP but it had dropped too low and was causing the tiredness, headaches and dizziness.
So yet another treatment was prescribed, yet more meds are being taken and I'm finally emerging from that fog, I can see the light at the far end of the tunnel and although I'm not not back to my usual self, I am able to do the things I enjoy, go out without feeling like I'm about to faint at any moment, get up or change direction without having to steady myself , attend community events, photograph my beautiful island and not have to spend the following day in bed.
