While picking up my prescriptions at the pharmacy last night my husband asks, "How did Mary's appointment go?" Puzzled I asked, "Mary who?" He replied "Mary Frey." Since we have gotten Apple TV I have been watching The Frey Life on our TV, I really didn't think he was paying attention but I was proved wrong. We came home to watch the vlog together. My husband relates to Peter, he also attended seminary at University of Edinburgh and cares for a chronically ill wife who is out of medication options. Thank you for welcoming us on your journey.

Awww sorry you fainted, Mary. It's a "vasovagal response", they can have different triggers, and IV needles/blood draws and that sort of thing are a trigger for some people. My sister faints every time she gets an IV or her blood drawn.

That's the word I was looking for on my post, "vasovagal response". Not in our control. I like to think of it as my "Incredible Hulk" moments... LOL, if anyone is old enough to remember the original show, he could control himself to a certain point, but once his body had had enough, he turned green and became the Hulk. 💚

@LisaMichele8 жыл бұрын
Yes, it can be caused by other things, too. Dehydration, standing in place for too long, seeing something scary, etc. Basically, something triggers/overstimulates the vagus nerve, which controls heart rate, breathing, blood pressure and digestion. It causes BP to drop drastically, leading to no blood flow to the brain, so the body has to crumple to get the brain below the heart - voila: fainting!

Oh no! I'm glad Peter caught you Mary! My partner and I were watching your blog and we both said the same thing. Your passing out sounds a lot like episodes I get that are called non-epileptic attacks. For me they are caused by stress and anxiety - especially in situations outwith my control or when I am upset. I'm not saying this is definitely what you experienced but everything from the weird feeling before, the rested feeling as though you've slept, the confusion after and I also get a bad headache too. My thoughts are with you both, you are such an inspiring wee family ♡

Oh man! Yeah as someone who passes out pretty regularly, it's seriously so frustrating and confusing! I'm glad you're feeling better and fully conscious lol! I remember one time getting my blood drawn in the ER a few years ago and she hit a nerve that sent searing pain from my elbow to my hand and it went numb for a while so that totally makes sense that your body would be freaking out! I'm still in the hospital but hopefully going home tomorrow ☺️👍🏼 the surgery went really well, I had pretty awful panic attacks and ptsd flashbacks while I was down there before they knocked me out but everything was totally fine after that and I woke up with my back hurting from the table more than my chest hurt lol!! The surgeon said my port was twisted around multiple times and kinked really bad but he straightened it all out, brought it closer to my skins surface, and stitched it down so it doesn't move around anymore!
