Me neither. I consider myself something of an "expert" at fainting, since I have suffered from low blood pressure since childhood and I faint at the drop of a hat. There are lots of things that can make me faint - not drinking enough on a hot day (or even on a cold one), getting up too quickly after sleeping, running a fever, etc.

So, if you worried about fainting, wallflower, let me reassure you that it's completely harmless (well, unless it's a symptom of some horrible disease). I've done it dozens of times in my life and never been sick; as a matter of fact it now seems perfectly normal to me [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img].

The funny thing is, the first time it ever happened to me slowly enough to feel nauseous first I felt *exactly* like alycat. I went to a drugstore for some meds and since I was running a fever I already felt kinda shaky. So while the woman behind the counter explains to me how often to take the pills, I suddenly start to feel nauseous and I'm like "OMG, this is getting bad, OMG I'm going to throw up right in front of her, OMG I'm not going to make it to the exit it's getting worse...oh wait...ah, this almost feels like fainting...oh, please let it be fainting, let me faint, letmefaintletmefaint" *faints*.
