Hey everyone, I'm new here. My name is Kellsey. I'm 24 years old. I've been blanking out for as long as I can remember. They slowed down a lot in my teens but have picked up to 10-15 times a night these last two years. I always thought it was a normal thing. My parent's think I'm just day dreaming. I was too afraid to go to the doctor but when I started dating my girlfriend, She noticed how bad they were and urged me to see my doctor about them. He did a physical examination and told me they sounded like absence seizures to him. He ran blood tests and those results came back normal and yesterday I went for an MRI, half without contrast and half with. I have an appointment with a neurologist on March 16th. I'm really feeling in the dark with all of this and not sure what to expect. I've posted here once before and gotten some lovely support and advice so that's why I'm here. I would love some advice or idea about what's to come for me, what the next steps are if you all have anything you might be able to tell me to expect. Thank you so much for reading this.
