Stress or something else?


The other day I was up late and my other half was mad at me. As I sat on the bed I looked up and didn't recognize where I was. It lasted a short time. It's not the first time... I would walk around the house like I wasnt suppose to be there. It scares me a little. What do you think? I would love some input!

It's called "jamais vu" (the opposite of deja vu), when you don't recognize familiar surroundings. It's one kind of simple partial seizure, so you should make a note of it. Are you having any other symptoms?

It just happens when I am tired and stressed. Told the nero and he had nothing to say...? I just don't know.

If it starts happening more and more, or other seizure symptoms start happening, that could be a sign that you need to up your medication dose. In the meantime, I hope can find ways to be less stressed.
