Hello everyone! Hope you're all well.
After years of fainting, anxiety-like symptoms and brain weirdness, one doctor finally noticed I had temporal lobe epilepsy and referred me over to a neurologist who confirmed this. Im still in the throws of the newness of it all and trying to figure it all out, but am weirdly relieved to finally have a diagnosis and be told Im not going crazy,lol.
I'm a 26 year old single mum to a gorgeous 2yr old little girl, and I think I have these simple partial seizures quite often. I definately had one last night, I felt a weird feeling rising up from my tummy, then my vision went abit weird and I felt slightly detached from reality, while at the same time being conscious. It only lasted afew minutes and I felt exhausted afterwards. I also suffer with terrible and frightening nightmares everynight that my neurologist mentioned could be part of the seizures. Im hoping they can do something to fix the nightmares as they're so real and scary that Im left with physical symptoms well into the next day.
I have two questions for everyone that I hope you dont mind answering..
1) does anyone experience chest pains / cardio symptoms with their SPS?
2) I've read alot online about how smoking cannabis can help lessen the seizures, does anyone on here have experience with that? Before I became a mum I was a big smoker of weed and wondered if thats why I didnt used to have the seizures very often but now have them frequently now I dont smoke it.
Apologies for the epic ramblings of my first post!lol. Am jus trying to make sense of it all.
Much Love to everyone xXx
