sleep paralysis

Hi everyone, My name is Abby and I am a 21 year old college student. I was diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy when I was 17, and so was my twin sister (strange, I know). They attributed it to us being born prematurely. Anyways, I have been having these horrible night time episodes that come...

Hello! I am relatively new here. I've been researching what's going on with me for the last few years, but can't get all the symptoms to match up. This started about 10 years ago right when I got up, went to the bathroom, then went to the refrigerator for something to drink. As soon as I got...

Hi! I'm not an english native speaker, so sorry if i have any mistakes in my ortography Im writing here because I've been recently experiencing sleep paralysis. That's basically cuz i disordered my whole sleep time (partying when i was in Brazil, and studying, im about to graduate). I used to...

Hi. My name is Melody. I'm 26 years old. I've had what i thought was sleep paralysis pretty much as long as i can remember. Either as i'm falling asleep or waking up sometimes I get the sensation that there is pressure on me. All i can do is open and my close my eyes. If i open my eyes, i...

Does having Epilepsy or maybe the meds increase the chance of having Sleep Paralysis? I think I spelled it right. I hate when it occurs at night. I'm not scared of much, but SP is a very creepy feeling. Hallucinations, sounds, can't talk or move, but you're awake. Must admit, better than a...

I'm very curious to know if sleep paralysis is a type of seizure, is it related to E or is it unrelated? I only ask because at 17 I had sleep paralysis for a few years (approx. 3) and didn't have breakthrough seizures (SCP) until 26 - 27ish and wasn't diagnosed with E until 30 when I had my 1st...

I recall waking up one morning and hearing a familiar voice but I was never able to answer it. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't respond. I wasn't fully awake because I don't remember seeing anything. I have had 2 grand mal seizures in my life while I was asleep (never had an inability to...

Just throwing this one out there because I want to vent. I'm wondering if anybody else experiences this. I call it an outer body experience. It's hard to explain it but it bugs the crap out of me. I get this about once a day. I feel like I'm looking down on myself trying to control my actions...
