Hello
I have been a lurker on this great site for a while now and have been inspired, motivated and educated by all you lovely people out there. But i know need a bit more advice.
I am starting my 8th week of LL, have lost 24.5 pounds (don't forget the half!) and am v. chuffed with the loss so far. I have felt fine up to now but had a "bit of a spell" this morning which has slightly alarmed me (and my poor husband who witnessed it and had to deal with it).
What happened? - well, I got up at 4 am to go to the loo (pretty usual at the mo. as you will all know) and the next thing I knew I was coming round from a faint/blackout having passed out and fallen on the back of my head. My husband said he heard me call his name, a loud clunk and there I was lying on the floor next to the bed!!
I tried to get up as still needed to go to the loo, kept on passing out and eventually crawled to the loo where I sat feeling awful. What happened next is the really scary part - I have little recollection of it but my husband, who was hovering nervously over me at that point, said I suddenly sat up straight, then slumped backwards and (this is gross) wee'd all over my pyjamas etc, all the time being out for the count. This didn't last long, poor husband washed me down and carried me back to bed where I've stayed till now.
I feel much better, a bit lightheaded, I have had a shake, water etc. and have also left a message for my LLC so I can chat to her about this. I am not going to contact the doctor at this point, will monitor the situation and if it happens again will then go.
Has anyone out there experienced something similar or heard of it happening to anyone else? Is this possibly something that happens mid way through the programme?
P.S. I have been 100% abstinent with the programme, but with a cup of hot Marigold bouillon every now and again
