sad
June 25, 2008
just sad today, i can’t pinpoint why
dropped my kids off at their summer activities this morning
went to a obgyn appointment and almost made myself sick with anxiety just sitting waiting for the doc to come in because last time i had a vaso-vagal response (yeah, not fun)
bought a cup of coffee
but i’m still sad – cried all the way home from the doctor’s
i think i need to talk to someone about getting a low dosage of anti-depressants, i don’t know if i can manage this by myself
i’m tired too

What’s a vaso-vaginal response??
Sorry you’re feeling sad. Are you getting enough exercise!!/???
I think since now I’m not nursing I might start on St John’s Wort and see if that helps me.

actually it’s called Vaso-Vagal syncope – (nothing to do with the vagina
, basically it’s fainting. I’ve had a weird fight or flight fainting thing ever since I was little. It doesn’t happen often, but i can usually feel it coming on. Usually it happens when i’m under stress, or in pain or see other people in pain.
No, i’m not getting enough exersize and it’s bumming me out!!
It’s been a tough week this week, but hopefully things will turn around here soon.

Hi
I am a 16 year old girl. Who also suffers from Vaso Vagal syncope. Im assuming your older than me since you have kids. And I was just wondering does it get any easier as you get older? I was never put on medications because i had to take Concerta for ADD but i was taken off of it this past summer because I was diagnosed with limes disease. But I have done all of the test for it except for the tilt test. Do you have any regrets with the medicine they put you on for it (if you take any) and if so what are they?!?!?!

hi – I was actually not put on any medication for vaso-vagal syncope. Thankfully it (fainting) only happens to me about once every 2-3 years. Good luck with medication trials though. I hope you can find something that works for you.
