After a violent car accident 10 years ago, I suffered trauma to my neck. Back then I started to notice a vibrational sensation in the spine, especially when waking up from sleep, heart jumps and sudden feelings of almost fainting. However I never fainted. Then 10 months ago, I was attacked and thrown into a wall, and suffered trauma to the head and fell to the ground. Resulting in nausea and dizzyness the next 6 days. My left shoulder was also dislocated. After this attack, I have developed seizures that occur every single day, several times a day. The seizures vary in strength. They usually start with a weird taste/sensation in my mouth (or smell). (Twice this sensation in the mouth became a feeling of numbness. This numbness affected the whole throat - or the right side only. At one occation the right side of my head, face and arm got numb. This occured after a series of seizures and lasted a few days). I may also see flickering of lights in the room and "dots" in my vision. Shortly after the taste/sensation in the mouth, I suddenly become dizzy and feel I'm going to faint. Also my heart-rate seems to go up at this point. I become slightly nauseated - and sometimes I just stare and cannot answer if talked to, although I am aware of my surroundings and what is being said to me. (I do not hyperventilate) This can last aprox. a minute or two - and ends in jerking of the whole body, or an arm or a foot depending on the strength of the seizure I guess. The jerking lasts a from a single jolt to a couple of minutes, also depending on the strength of the seizure. The very first times I experienced seizures, I had the seizures start with a jolt from the stomac with preassure up through my throat, head and finally resulting in almost fainting - and violent jerking/shaking. While the seizures are ongoing I may hallucinate. I may look at my arms and they look transparent and the veins look black. I have also noticed the black area in my eyes are huge when this happens. The hallucinations end when the seizure ends. If I wake from sleep IN a seizure, I do not recognize my own bedroom. I do not understand where I am at. This also ends when the seizure ends. When my seizures occur at night, I wake up shaking and bathe in sweat - more or less at the same time every morning. I am totally cramped up and my stomac is in disorder. I also experience having almost full bladder after EACH seizure - even if I have just emptied the bladder prior to the seizure. Lights do not start my seizures - but monitors (TV/Computer) do. Also the motions caused while driving a car, and even walking fast, triggers seizures. Then lastly, stress may trigger them too. I often have tinnitus and reduced memory - memory comes back when I am seizure free with medication. I have had a MR scan (of the head) with normal results - and two EEG's that were also normal. I have had coloscopy, gastroscopy, lung X-rays and normal bloodtests. They say nothing is wrong with me. I do feel that a chiropractor helps to reduce the seizures but they always come back.... a little and a lot about me
