HI. Total black-out as in unconscious? If that's so, yeah, I agree - see a doctor. I've had them devil ch's for 12 years and never had a black out. I do feel utterly exhausted when the pain eventually goes away, and fall into a dead sleep, but this could also be from the intensity of the pain and sleep deprevation if in mid-cycle

Sounds scary, Keith... :o

I have fainted 5 times because of one preventative medication, through. My bp was too low.

Best wishes & PFdays,
Sandie
