In my case, I didn't tell my GP that I was vomiting and passing out. If you asked me how I was, I'd say fine - and somehow believe it. Weird.

No, no insult -I was just responding - that's interesting. I was in the hospital for four months after my injury so I had doctors all over trying to place all of my symptoms. I sure as heck wasn't fine - and all of my therapists were trying to figure out just what was going on so they could fix me enough to get me out of there - I was injured in the hospital (complications of brain surgery) Alas, I've had vertigo since the surgery - I fell out of bed in the recovery room.
lots of differences in us brain challenged bunch.
