passing out

One day, I went to reach for my son's doorknob, and the next thing I knew, I was trying to get up off the floor. It's like I just passed out; when I noticed I was on the floor, I was wondering what happened. That has happened to me several times. I've had every test, and the doctors still can't find anything. This has been going on for about 4 years now. My last episode was last year; my son saw me in the garage. I never know when it's going to happen, it just happens. I don't feel any strange way before it happens or nothing. I tried getting a service dog but can't afford one. Has anyone else had this to happen to them? Could I get a service dog without paying to get it trained? This is scary to me. I need help.

  1. Hi I am sure this has been extremely scary for you. And frustrating that you do not have any answers. Service dogs are trained before they are connected with their owner. I applied to train a service dog several months ago, and I know they go through a rigorous training program before they can go to their new owner. I am sending over this link, I hope it is helpful for you: https://multiplesclerosis.net/forums/service-dogs. Please keep us posted with how you are doing. Jill (Team Member)
