Hi, I'm Alex, 25. My girlfriend just called me 15 minutes ago saying she thinks she just had a seizure. She was laying in bed then all of a sudden, while her eyes were closed, she said she felt this weird shaking sensation and her eyes were moving in her head and she felt a weird clicking noise or something. Now she says she has a huge headache.
She's been having headaches for a long time. Every time I talk to her on the phone she has a headache it seems. She gets stressed out about a lot of things. We are in a long-distance relationship right now and being with her is like riding a rollercoaster. One day she's happy, next day she's paranoid and suspicious. Sometimes she's really happy, sometimes she's really sad. It changes often and I find myself having the same conversations with her over and over and it seems like it doesn't matter what I say, nothing changes.
She cries on the phone at least 3 times a week. She's very emotional. She used to be on mood stabilizers and I read about what the medicine she was taking does: It can lead to seizures if you stop taking it or take too much. I told her to taper down off of it and she did and she hasn't taken it in 4 months. What always used to happen is she would get goosebumps on one leg, but not the other. It was always the same leg too. I got suspicious about this and that's when I found out that the medicine she was taking to stabilize her mood could cause seizures.
Now with this episode, I'm trying to figure out what could be wrong with her. I thought maybe she has a tumor that's causing this... Maybe the onset of epilepsy. I don't know.
Basically her symptoms are:
- Frequent headaches.
- Mood swings.
- Goosebumps on one leg only.
- Recent "seizure-like" episode in bed while trying to fall asleep.
Thanks guys.
