Today we went to an RV show in Houston. I felt a little off balance the whole time we were in the stadium. The lighting really bothered me. We spent a couple hours climbing in and out of various RVs.
While climbing up into an RV I lost my balance and my strength. It was a struggle to get inside so I immediately sat down on the couch and waited for the episode to pass. My cousin thought I was going to pass out. She commented that I went very pale before I sat down. I never did pass out, but later that night we were in another store and got dizzy. I lost my balance and fell backwards flat on my back. I immediately got up and was ok. I did not have an episode, just a little dizziness.

I am in Louisiana visiting my cousin.
Yesterday I was up at 4:30am to travel to Houston. My flight was delayed 5 hours. Then I missed my connecting flight and my cousin drove to Houston to pick my up. it was a 3 hour drive to DeRidder, LA. We arrived around 11:00pm.
I was up at 7:30am this morning for my cousin’s doctor appointment. Considering the time change, it was an early morning). Yesterday I ate chicken strips. Today I ate a cinnamon bun. Around 1:00pm we went to Walmart to get groceries. While at the checkout I had an episode.
I started to get tired as we were walking toward the checkout. Normally I am full of energy, but I just leaned my weight on the buggy, hoping to get my energy back before my cousin finished checking through the groceries. I didn’t totally lose movement but my my eyes were watering and my legs were both too weak to move.
When my cousin finished, she pulled the buggy forward to go. I tried to walk but my legs just gave way and I gently fell to the floor. My cousin explained to those nearby that I was fine, just having an episode. I had use of my arms. About 20 seconds later I was able to wiggle my toes. As soon as I could, I jumped to my feet and we walked to the vehicle.
