Well, it's been four months, almost to the day, that I had my constant passing out problem after the Sunday meeting.
My appt. with neurology finally came about this morning.
The neurologist was completely stumped as to the cause of these repeated 'syncapol episodes'.
He was, however, able to rule out a whole bunch of possible culprits.
Thanks to going KETO, I am almost 40 pounds lighter now, and I told him my 'insulin resistance' theory. If insulin resistance was causing all my other health woes, maybe it was the cause for this, too.
He said he figured it was as good an explanation as any.
He was astonished that the ER doc hadn't contacted the Sec. of State and that my driver's license hadn't been put on hold for six months.
But, since I have had no further occurrences of this odd malady for the past four months now, he
told me I may as well just continue to drive, since my six months will be up in just two more months.
Finally, I left with the assurance that the root of the problem was physiological and not psychological.
A diagnosis I can definitely live with...I hope.

Dear Sis, Congrats for losing weight and controlling that insulin. Please keep me posted. YOU are in my prayers. I personally have problems at meetings from people's perfume use (verified in a clinical setting), but I have several lung diseases and even more auto immune disorders. I'm glad you checked it out with your neurologist. My son was having similar reactions and was tested as having narcolepsy (which obviously, you don't have.) Did you mean this STOPPED happening four months ago? I hope so.
I am so glad we are near the end of this NASTY system that is ruining the earth and the health of those living here. Psalm 37 tells us time after time that this, too, shall pass. I'm tempted to say better sooner than later, but every extra day in the ministry equals opportunities for new ones to be reached with the truth.
I was just re-reading your personal details. I, myself, have been married for a long time to an unbeliever. Next year it will be forty years. Was wondering if I should plan something for that anniversary, but I don't have 2020 vision. (Poor excuse for comic relief). <3, from pauline

Dearest Ross,
I’m glad of your non-diagnosis of sorts, that at least worse things have been eliminated. Sounds like whatever it is you’re doing has turned out the best for you. Big thumbs up sis
