My first experience with this was in 2005 on a blisteringly hot summer day. I was working outside on a balcony of a building where we were installing solar panels. I was on a scaffold and all of a sudden, I felt like I was daydreaming un-intentionally. I was remembering or daydreaming without wanting to. It had a deja vu quality to it. I got down off the scaffold and sat down. I went downstairs in the building and had diarhea and I through up. I went back up stairs and drank lots of water. Coworkers and I suspected heat stroke or food poisoning. I worked the rest of the day but didn't do anything significantly physically exerting.
Various times in 2009 -2011 I felt deja vu while cycling or driving. Instead of passing out, the feeling increased to a great degree and became uncomfortable. I did not pass out or black out.
In Feb or March 2011 I was in the shower and anxious thinking about rushing to a city council meeting, and I was also under other stress financially etc. I felt a strong deja vu and woke up moments later at the bottom of the shower. Scraped chest and fat lip. I broke off the diverter valve (the knob you pull out to divert water from the bath tap to the shower head).
March 29 2012 I was at work standing at a counter looking at some paperwork and had the deja vu feeling and woke up moments later on the floor. I hit my head on a filing cabinet.
One day later that summer I was sitting on the toilet. Felt the feeling of deja vu. Got off the toilet and sat against the wall. Woke up fallen sideways, glasses fell off.
Aug 25 at around 10-11 am I was sitting on the toilet and felt the deja vu. Went to get up to go lie down and moments later I woke up with bent scratched glasses and a black eye.
Possible episode Dec 21 leaning back in a chair.
So far, all tests regarding heart are fine. All EEG and MRI, CAT scan etc are negative for eplilepsy. The neurologist and I both feel that, despite negative tests, I probably have eplilepsy and am experiencing Complex Partial Seizures.
Going to see family doctor and look into medication. I need to drive and do physical activities at work so it's affecting my life. Not sure what I will do from here on out. Going to look at second opinion and other tests but likely have to seriously consider medication if I want to drive. Either that or significant changes in diet.
Anybody else experience seizures the way I describe? What have you done?
