Near Death Experiences?

This is my neurologist's take, too. In my case, that would be ptsd, although I haven't gone into that much detail with her. She "threw it out there" as a possible cause for why someone so young might have the level of tl atrophy I do.

PTSD has been thought to cause hippocampal atrophy, which is part of the medial temporal lobe.

Well it wasn't epilepsy related but we used to make each of us pass out (don't ask why ) when we were 9 grade.

What i remember is seeing white light and alot of pictures running at full speed like a running roller of film and than i suddenly woke up right in the middle when i was being laid on the floor.Usually my friends would lay for at least a minute and we would slap them slightly to wake them up.Everyone were suprised after waking up not knowing where they are.There was one unfortanate case in school where they did this to some kid at school and he started to seize at least by the description of jerking and foam of saliva....

Anyway altough i know now how dangerous it was the fealing was amazing.I felt a moment of relief when seeing that light.I don't know if its related to the religous aspects since once my cousin told me that i should stop doing that and that the white light i saw was a chemical your brain realeses just before you die to make a pleasant death.Don't know if its through or not and din't find any info on that prespective but its possible i guess since the brain is really amazing mechanism.

It has changed my life forever. I went into status epilepticus because as we later found out I had cancer cells in my brain. I died and they brought me back and then induced me in to a coma for 5 days. I will say that at first everything I ever lived flashed in front of me. Then came the white light of total peace. I could hear people talking. Later I found out my son was in there saying wake up mommy wake up. I don't think I would of come back if werent for him.You can here people talking to you. And the peace was perfection beyond belief along with the feeling of love. Pure love. I hope that is where I go to the next time I die. It has made me calmer, more accepting of others and less judgemental.That was a long time ago but seems like yesterday.

What happened to me happened at home when I was with my husband.
The only reason I know it happened is because I had 24hr halter monitor on for a EKG.
It happened while I was a sleep. I stopped breathing and when I turned it into my cardiologist I found out happened several times and I ended up getting a pacemakera few times.
I've heard my cardiologist tell this story quite a few times.

There is know way to see how precious life is then to leave it and have the chance to do it again. Or to have somebody you love so much leave and know how precious life is.
Belinda, do you still have the pacemaker?

[Belinda1961]

Yes I still have the pacemaker and will always have one.

I have A fib irregular heart beat( dangerous for me not for most ppl who have it.)

yes I've had a couple... last one a year ago.

I was battling cluster seizures in a psychiatric ward where they had no clue - I was put to sleep with sleep meds and anti psychotics - and all of a sudden I was standing with my bare feet in a beautiful shining river.

It was glittering in the most beautiful colors, and it was a little foggy. Suddenly two men came towards me (in a hurry), they were dressed in red garments. I asked if they were angels - they answered: "Sort of" I had a feelng they were some sort of gatekeepers. No wonder they were in a hurry to send me back!

Then they sent me back.... thank God I got medicated with benzo's then anti epileptic's afterwards.
