hi all-- So, I think I've been having seizures for a while at night with the start of migraines, but no one had ever seen one until a few weeks ago so I hadn't known for sure. My housemate saw me have a seizure that lasted about 5 minutes and called the ambulance.
It's been making me think a lot about the other things I'd been concerned about but didn't see a doctor for because until recently I didn't have insurance (actually don't have active insurance until July 1st). I see a doctor on the 10th. Over the past year or so I've been noticing that my memory is getting worse. Now I "lose" words. I can mean to say music and it will come out manikin or I just won't remember the word at all. Most recently I've seen the change in my typing and writing. I will write a different letter or even a different word than I mean to, especially if I'm stressed. I was having a difficult day today for multiple reasons and it took me 3 or 4 tries to write a word in my notes at an office meeting. I just kept writing the wrong first letter.
Are these other pieces often connected with seizures? Where can I find out more about what's going on with my brain? What should I be making note of to tell my doctor? What questions should I bring with me to my appointment?
Does anyone else out there have these same experiences? What's going on?
Thank you for your help!
