Mark you can't believe how close to the truth you are. Eating is/can be very traumatic to the body, depending on what is eaten and the volume. The body system must stop what it is normally doing to begin the process of breaking down the foods eaten. Especially when fatty meats are involved. It happens in the TAB world as well, depending on the health condition of each individual. Head Up! Best Wishes In a message dated 7/16/2008 6:01:36 P.M.

I've had this happen to me several times and my doc told me it was because it takes so much energy to digest food and I guess your doc is right because blood is energy. It usually only happens when I have a uti or some other illness though. Welcome to the list btw! I'm Mark a C5/6 going on 9 years now.

I am a 49 yr. old C 3-4 quad. I can not move anything below my shoulders but I am not on a vent. I am going on my 24th year. The past 2 to 2 1/2 years I have been having dizzy spells to where if I don't tilt back in my w/c I will pass completely out. It happens after I eat a meal. I have been to different Dr.'s about this and the only thing they can tell me is that my blood is going into my digestion system. The only problem is it doesn't happen every time I eat. Has anyone ever heard of a problem like this? I also have scoliosis bad. My spine curves bad right in between my shoulders. Could this have anything to do with it? Any reply would be helpful. ____________________________________ Time for vacation?
