Hi there! I'm pretty scared, confused, and looking for people to talk to. So here is a bit about me and what I am going through. Thank you for taking the time to read this its really appreciated.
Its pretty common in my family to have a million different health issues. I have hypothyroidism, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia and some others. I am probably the healthiest in our toxic family pool lol. So its not sup rising when my doctors sit me down and tell me something else is wrong. I was talking with my doctor the other day, she asked me "what did I just say?" I didn't remember "what were you thinking about?" I could not recall that either. She informed me that she believed that I had an absent seizure. After research into the topic I found it a pretty hazy topic with ranging descriptions. It would certainly explain a many severe ADD episodes. I have a fear of driving as I have often found myself inches from the car in front of me with no recollection. I have always had attention problems that couldn't be fixed by meds.
after a particularly bad experience today I decide to seek support after writing this:
I’m still not thinking right. I always feel so zapped after I have an episode like this. Still not sure what it is. I was sitting on the couch talking to my mom and I was becoming overly stressed ( I feel it is importuned to note that I feel stress is not a necessary factor for this reaction to occur.) I remember very little but much more than usual. I remember feeling tired, everything stopped making sense. My mom was talking to me and I simply couldn’t process what she was saying. I felt like I was about to slip over the edge and pass out. I believe that I stopped myself though I don’t remember how. I thought I should engage my brain, keep it awake. I wanted to turn on the tv but couldn’t. My mom says that I asked her to turn it on but I don’t remember. Now I feel exausted as if I have no energy and my brain is scrambled.
I don't know if this absence seizures or something else but Im pretty sure its not normal. I don't know where to start and Im worried. Thank you for reading.
lise-e
