Hi,
I'm Melanie and I have been waking up with my heading bobbing up and down and after several months of this, I've found myself working with a neurologist who seems to think I am having siezures--simple partial seizures. I'm awake a lot of times when they happen. Sometimes I wake up right before them, and I woke up right after one this weekend.
Anyway, still driving, pretty scared, and looking for answers. My biggest concern is why. I'm not sure if this is even the right forum for me to be on since the seizures could be from a brain tumor or MS. The tests are still being done. Kind of crazy stuff.
From what I am reading on here, I'm thinking it's no big "thang" to develop epilepsy mid life, but to me, for now, it's a big "thang."
Anyone else who wakes up at night with partial seizures, known cause?
Thanks so much!
