I used to have what I thought was low blood sugar--I would start shaking and
break out in a sweat. it would get better if I drank a coke or ate
something. I also have thyroid problems and take synthroid every day. I was
diagnosed a year ago.
Concerning the problem with balance, I went to Mass today and a funny thing
happened. My friend, Shannon, who has MS sat next to me. Shannon is
currently having a relapse and is using a walker. You know there is a lot of
standing up in the Catholic Church. Well, at one point we were standing
there and I realized that I was doing that forward/backward sway that I do
when I am keeping my balance. I glanced over and Shannon was doing the same
thing. I felt like laughing. Then a little later we were standing again and
Shannon's legs gave out and she sat down. I sat down, too, and told Shannon
"me, too." Then everyone else sat down in the church because we did---but it
wasn't time to sit!!! It was like a wave--first the people right behind us
sat down and it kept spreading until the entire church was sitting. LOL!!!!
Shannon and I were both chuckling when we realized what had happened. The
deacon was scowling at everyone for sitting down at the wrong time and I felt
like laughing....
