I almost blacked out because of a severe attack. It caught me off guard. Happens out of no where. I thought I wouldn't have anymore since the last one was in Mar. I was hoping for a miracle. It was hell. It lasted for 8 days!

My family jokingly refers to me as the Fainting Queen. I don't think I can count the number of times I've blacked out in my life, although the majority have been when getting blood taken or peircings (needle-phobia).

I have blacked out a couple times from the pain of the abdominal cramps. In fact, the last time I blacked out was what caused me to really crack down on my diet. I was having bad menstrual cramps and ate a piece of whole wheat toast while driving to work. A couple minutes later, I start feeling dizzy but didn't know if I was going to faint so started to pull over to the side of the road (was still driving) and blacked out for a couple moments. When I woke up, I was thankfully on the side of the road.. but my car was still rolling slightly because my foot wasn't fully on the brake! I slammed my foot on the brake and wouldn't drive for a week after that. That was when I knew I needed to change my eating habits and it's also why I never eat before I drive to work.

I'm glad you didn't crash you car. That's so scary. I can't stand needles either. I've gotten so many blood tests. It's torture. I get nervous, nauseous, and nearly pass out. My arm kills me when the needle's in me and afterward. Once my arm killed me for over a week. The needle that was used was huge too!
