HI Everyone! I am new here. Well this is my first posting and I guess I am just looking for some answers, that can make me feel less insane.
I have been having these symptoms since I was 5 and now about to turn 27 in a week. The doctors can't figure it out, but all they can tell me is, that they believe it is some type of seizure.
Things usually start with this odd feeling that I just can't explain. I just don't feel good and I can't explain it. I sometimes get a weird knot feeling in my stomach like I haven't eaten in a really long time. Then my vision fades to white. I mean everything just turns white to the point that all I see is white. Then I feel like I have to lay down. I have never fallen. My mother has said that my face turns a whitish color and I try to talk but my words are just mumbled. I know that when this happens, I feel like my hearing is muffled too, I can hear but it feels like there is cotton balls or something in my ears. According to those around me I don't shake. I have in the past lost consciousness a couple times, but that is not a usual occurrence. Sometimes I get a heated feeling in my stomach area. My mother has said sometimes it does get hot to the touch but not usually. After this all happens, my vision returns and the rest of the symptoms go back to normal but I am really tired and usually sleep for hours after. I am currently on Gabapentin. Which I have to say I hate, makes me so foggy headed and have a hard time concentrating. School and work have suffered. My doctor has said that I had a type of sensory seizures. I just don't want to keep jumping from med to med and dosage to higher dosage if this isn't even seizures. So all in all can anyone tell me if they have had similar seizures? Sorry this posting is so long. Sorry about that. Will try to be better about it in the future. Thank you so much for listening.
