I'm new here.

[Greg Johnston]

Hello, as you can see, I'm new here, and not sure where to begin. Just yesterday I had a seizure right at lunch, in my employers breakroom, in front of a few dozen co-workers. More on that in a minute. This may very well have been my second seizure, as about a decade ago, I had some sort of attack or seizure in which I came to with temporary tunnel vision in my right eye. That event was long forgotten until yesterday's event rekindled my memory.
Immediately preceding my seizure, I felt nauseous, lightheaded, and dizzy, a weird feeling of loosing consciousness. Next thing I knew, was that one of my coworkers was holding me down ( I was face down) and telling me not to get up. She had experience in this as her husband has seizures. I apparently had fallen, right on my head and neck. Though what happened was short-termed, it felt as though I was awakening from a dream, disoriented, and not knowing what was going on. I was told I had a seizure, even even in my confused state, I was incredulous, saying I never had a seizure, and never had ever had one. I went to the ER, had a CAT scan ( they were worried about a tumor), but I was alright there. After a couple of hours, I was released, went home and rested.
Today, I went to my Dr., and Monday I will have a MRI, and later during the week, and EEG. That was my eye-opener for the day yesterday.
