I used to suffer from severe bouts of Vaso. Then I was informed that drinking Gatorade would alleviate my problem. I have been drinking gatorade for many months now. The drinking of gatorade eliminates the passing out but not the diarrhea.

Should we wear medic alert bracelets?

After passing out several times in public with abulances called and many questions regarding how much alcohol I have had and what drugs I have taken or if I am pregnant. After having a conversation with the EMT that results in me saying no, no, no, no, no. I am thinking of getting a medic alert bracelet or a sign in my car that they can read that says that I have vaso-vagal nerve syndrome and I will recover. No need to go to the ER. Please call my family. Have any of you tried this?
