Hi everyone.
Well it says on the introduction this is where we introduce ourselves. lol
So here is my story. back when I was 17 (25 now) is when I think I had my first seizure (not sure but I had the same sensation and feeling that I am having now) it only happened once. And then in 2010 2 months after I gave birth to my son I had that again. My former neurologist didnt think it was seizure he actually went and said that i was faking it. (yeah i wish). and he did every test you can think of for the heart never did an eeg or mri (should have went to a cardiologist) coz he was thinking that it was arythmia (however you spell it. lol)
so I stopped seeing him and I stopped having seizures I figured maybe it was a one time deal or something.
Fast forward to 2013. January. I had seizure once. Ignored it. Didnt think much of it. Figure probably because I got in an accident few days before.
But I was having the same sensation the same stuff every month. And then June till now I was having it once or sometimes 3x a week. so went to neurologist. explained what is going on. he said i do have epilepsy though the cause is still unkown. still going through test and all that. though he had me started on Lamictal just so the medicine gets in my system.
I dont know what is with this long essay I just want to say hi.
But q though. anyone else experience this...
Before I have my 'attack' I sometimes feel weird like i'm floating or something and my hands gets tingly. and then I dont remember what happens afterwards.
and my bf (who i'm living with) would tell me that I act confused or usually forget what happened that day.
and i do notice that i get a headache bad and extremely tired and my whole body hurts like somebody beat me up or i ran a marathon.
So for anybody else how is yours?
