I'm completely fine now. Phew. As for the golden raspberries, I had never heard of them either! They are basically the same as normal raspberries though, maybe just a touch milder. Jenn - Wow that's so weird, it sounds like we've had exactly the same thing. I'll definitely be looking into it but Rachel's comment seems to sum it up pretty well! Rachel - Thanks for that info, googled it and it sounds exactly right. I wonder why that happens. At least it's an infrequent thing though! Thank you to EVERYONE for the well wishes!

Many people have them after having blood drawn, or in reaction to seeing themselves or someone else injured. But I actually had one during a dress rehearsal for a speech I had to give and I had exactly the same symptoms. So they're not fun, but not something to stress over either :) Hi,

Thought it should be clarified that I hurt myself by ACCIDENT. Wouldn't want people getting the wrong impression! P.S. Thought it should be clarified that I hurt myself by ACCIDENT.

I have a similar issue with fainting - I've done it maybe 3 times in my life, and each time it happened after I hurt myself in some way. I'm also not scared of blood, so I don't really know what the deal would be. Please let me know what your doctor says! And I hope you're feeling better :( Putting salsa on top of the macaroni is a really good idea. And your dessert(s) look and sound delicious. Yikes!
