The Like/Hate Thread

It happens kind of often, usually in the shower though. I'll be in the shower and the next thing I know I'm laying on the floor naked because I blacked out. It feels like someone hit me in the back of the head with a baseball bat.

yeah, go see a doctor. just tell the doc everything you said here, and try to remember anything else about what happens right before you black out. i assume you're using hot water in the shower? that might trigger it, too. stop taking showers, people die by passing out and hitting their head like that. i can't really recommend taking a bath either, since you could sink under the water.

I saw my doctor today, she said I have this thing called dystonia where my eyes are constantly looking up for periods of time. I was having trouble focusing a lot and that was the cause of it. She gave me a medication to slowly make it go away, but she also gave me some benadryl there and it instantly went away.
As for the fainting, they gave me an EKG (not sure what that is, but they looked at my heart). But they haven't said anything about it yet.

well, the person i'm talking to wouldn't have guess dystonia. but still, be careful about showers, people really do die like that.
