Since I was in elementary school, I have been fainting. As a kid, I would faint at the sight of blood or shots and it got to the point where I would faint simple about talking about the doctor. The doctors were confused and so they sent me to a psychologist, who later told my family that I had vaso vagel. I lost count, but it have fainted over thirty times. Now I am a freshmen in college and the problem is getting worse. It's November and I have fainted nine times since the begining of the year. Since I have started college, I have fainted three time during my biology class. It's starting to interfer with my grades and I would like to gain control of this problem. One time I fainted when simple talking about breast cancer, another time was when I saw a drawing of an eye ball.

The reason I am posting this is because I want some answers. The doctors have no answers so this is my last chance to figure out what is wrong with me. If anyone has any information please respond. My e-mail address is FireVestaa@aol.com

Thank you

I am a 46 year old male who was taken to the hospital via ambulance last night. I woke @ about 2:30 am with awful stomach cramps. I sat on the toilet and was straining to "get started" and the next thing I knew I was regaining conciousness on the floor. I apparently passed out again right away. I called for my wife after I woke up (which I remember) She said she saw me standing in the bathroom door(which I don't remember) and pass out again. When I got to the hospital they of course ran blood tests. My sodium level was low but my blood sugar was over 350. I have no history of diabetes, but it is common in the family. Does anyone think this could be related in some way? Dr. said the incident was VV, but the high blood sugar was a separate issue I need to get checked out.

On Sabbatical!

When my office lease expired at the end of 2004, I decided to turn it into a "sabbatical" from my private practice. Many years ago, in my grandfather's 89th year of life, he told me, "John, it is important to smell the roses while you can still smell them." His life gave living a very good reputation. It is also true that the pursuit of that philosophy required my grandfather to to re-open his assay office/ore market in Wickenburg, Arizona as a 75-year-old because he had run a little short of retirement money. Thus, if blessed with his luck and health, I'll be back.. --jjh
