I don't take vitamins but I'm SUPPOSED to. A doctor suggested some for me back when I was always passing out and having kidney troubles. I took them for a couple of years and then just kept forgetting and I haven't really taken any since. One was vitamin B, and I think the other was magnesium something but I can't really remember. I think I should get back into it.
I haven't checked my blood pressure, but I know that every time I've ever had it checked it's always on the low side. I just generally have low blood pressure and low blood sugar. I try to eat 6 times a day to keep my sugar up (3 meals plus 3 snacks between meals). I have passed out since I was 6 years old, and the only doctor that actually looked into it (besides saying I need to eat more, and asking if I have an eating disorder ) told me that I have a very touchy system, and if something goes a little out of the "comfort zone" my blood pressure plummets and I'm out. I have to lay down to get blood taken, I can't stand in one spot for much length of time, I can't get a little too hot... really almost anything can make me faint.
I've been doing a lot of resting today and I already feel so much better. I'm still tired but I feel ready to go into work tomorrow. I really think I just needed this day for myself

Oh my gosh, apparently the message didn't get around yesterday that I was sick. I've been working on this huge expansion project at a site out of town, and our guy who is managing the site called yesterday and got put through to my phone and left a message saying he needed some information because they were laying out building piles at 8 this morning!!!!!!!!!!! So I got the message at like 8:10 this morning. Now I feel terrible!
