After my last “work out,” I had another bad day (I define a
bad day as one in which I’m not able to eat much if anything and I’m usually in
a lot of pain too) on Wednesday. Since I
set myself a goal of having at least 2 good days before every work out, this
set back my plans for another walking work out.
I was able to get a day of walking in on Saturday I had a
couple of blood tests and did other errands.
Going into the walk I felt much more energetic than my previous
one. This time I got 2 miles into the
walk before feeling very light headed – so severe that I had to reach for my
wife during the walk to keep from falling.
This vertigo sensation is new with my current flare. I haven’t really experienced such severe
vertigo with my previous Crohn’s flare & medications. I don’t know what’s causing it.
Anyway, when I experience the light headedness, we returned
to the car. My total distance was around
3 miles for the day. I had left an Ensure
in the car so I drank one as an after run fuel.
After a short time I felt much better.
This was my first clue that the vertigo might be a blood sugar / fueling
issue.
