So a little backstory. I've had dizzy spells my whole like. Well, starting at about 5. I'm now 50. My dad took my to all kinds of specialists as a kid and none could find anything wrong with me. about 15 years ago they turned in to shakey spells. Kind of hard to explain but mainly my lower body would get really weak and I would have trouble walking without the support of a handrail or a person. I get these probaly 2 or 3 times a month. They normally last about 3 or 4 hours and then I'm fine. A few times as an adult I'd go talk to the doctor in my area but each time they couldn't find anything wrong. I've lost a few jobs because I got sick and had to leave. 10 years ago I married the most wonderful man. Now I no longer have to work if I don't want to. He is so wonderful with my spells.So I have decided to just not worry about it and enjoy life and if I have a spell just get back home as soon as I can. I was at a gathering the other night when I had one of my spells. I asked a good friend of mine to help me to my car. As we were leaving I heard ladies in the background....Is she ok? Should she be driving?..ect. The next day I saw my friend and she said that someone had taken down my license plate number and was going to turn me over to the police because I could be having a stroke and could kill someone. Well, NO! I wasn't having a stroke and I have driven myself hundreds of times like this. But I guess they had no way of knowing this. But my friend did. Anyway, I'm going to see these ladies in a few more days and I know they are going to say something. None of them are friends of mine and I'm sure whatever they said was not out of concern for me. So I'd like to say mind your own business but in a nicer way :-) Also suppose she did give my license number to the police. What would they do, if anything?
