You probably have Dysautonomia if... (a little humor)

[vbc2000]

Hello group :)
Yesterday as I was packing my little cooler with snacks and water, I thought to myself "geez, I'm like a friggin' 5 year old with all this!"  I'm sure I don't have to tell you it's necessary but it's still kind of crazy to me that I can't go anywhere without these things.  Anyway, it got me thinking about Jeff Foxworthy and his "You might be a redneck if" humor.  My husband loves that schtick because...well because he's a redneck!  I get him the calendar every year.  So I thought it might be fun to do our own version and laugh at ourselves a little bit.

So that's mine... "You probably have Dysautonomia if you have to pack a snack to run down to the store or to the doctor!"  Let's hear yours...

   You Probably have AD if, while in public, try and race to the bathroom, HR goes up, start to see the "white / black flashing lights", get to bathroom, start doing the Pee-Pee Dance (you know what I mean ladies :0 ) cause you gotta go so bad, finally get pants down but not in time to put TP on toilet bowl, and still so on the edge of passing out you have your head resting on knees trying to keep from going totally out, while whipping out the B/P cuff out of your purse to take B/P, and trying to think of a place to put your feet up.......Phewwww..Trye story!

    Then when you are ok to stand up you look up at the bathroom door only to find that big wide Gap between the stall door and notice that someone has been watching you the whole time!!!!!  Looking back now...Hilarious i tell you!!!!!

Luckily they've started making Gatorade with less calories/sugar.  I couldn't drink it since my hypoglycemia kicked in...you would think it would be good for it, but it makes me crash.

your family hears an ambulance go through your neighborhood and their first impulse is to go and make sure it isn't for you. (I'm notorious for calling the ambulance myself because my mom gets too freaked out [sometimes without telling her first)
also- if you're going on a trip and stopping at a convenience store, the person going in already knows your favorite gatorade flavor.

I'm good just a little fainting session. a knock on the head nothing to terrible but my BF thought best to take me in and make sure I was ok.

Which makes another good one....
You might have AD if fainting and hitting your head is seen as nothing to terrible.

Also inspired by real life events today...

You might have AD if you know where every bathroom is between your house and any given location, because you drink so much water in order to keep your BP up!

Hope you're ok lilmissposey!
