I just got home today from a 3 day hospital stay after a large cluster of seizures that unfortunately happened at work.
For someone who is repeatedly being told that my seizures are psychogenic they sure do jump on them and treat them as epileptic.
My work is very understanding when I have to take breaks but they couldn't rouse me this time around and an ambulance had to be called.
I already had 2mg of ativan in me by the time they came around and they determined me to be seizing because of my clenched jaw, twitching eyes and stiff muscles.
They gave me some valium.
When I went to the hospital they gave me some midazolam and more ativan.
I must have been as high as a kite.
My husband said I talked about seeing my hair on the ceiling (I recently got it cut really short) and that I could see Grandmas on the celings and that I was talking to our dog who wasn't there of course.
I'm terrified of being intubated again so when I finally came around I kept on asking to go home. I would say things like, "I know why I'm here, but why am I STILL here? Aren't they psychogenic?"
They would make murmuring non commital noises and say that they want to keep me around for observation purposes.
They made reference to "MRI" results that I still haven't received that they could not tell me about or say if anything was found and that only my neurologist can. Man. After all the hooplah over these mri results I bet it's something that I already know. I mean, if it was something major I would know by now, right? It was done over a month ago.
Anyways, anyone else have fun hallucination stories?
