One more little item to add--now that I've read all the responses and know undoubtedly that I must try to read all the responses before impulsively responding to a message--as to prevent blatant reoccurring redundancy.
Now, my dad is hypoglycemic and gets extremely suicidal when his blood sugar decides to take a dive. Until he began an extremely strict diet (sort of like those high protein diets I keep reading about), his moods swung so wide and far that my mother *left* him on a number of occasions, totally convinced that he was truly insane. His hypoglycemia affected every aspect of his life, and only now is he finally stabilizing mood wise.
So... I was thinking that it might be a great idea to get some hypoglycemia info together for that "Links" page on egroups. Such expertise Psycho-babble already has, and I'd hate to see that precious knowledge lost. Anyone interested in doing something like that?
And maybe create a multi-crossing category like "Fainting" or "Black-outs" that would present different characteristics and their implied meaning.
For example: Graying-out while stretching and yawning is more characteristic of "whatever that vaso something was". Adding to the base of layman/working knowledge for recognizing some of these characteristics and when/where to go for help.
Or this might be all to discombobulated and we should just go with straight-forward links to hypoglycemia and depression?
