Hey everyone,
I've been dealing with Tonic-Clonics for the last 9 months now, annoying but manageable, but now I've been having a new problem the last 2 months or so. It's hard enough to explain when talking with someone, so typing may bring this to a whole new level of difficult. Here goes. Lately, I've been having a hard time communicating with the people around me. Every so often, about 12-15 times a day, I lose my ability to concentrate on what someone is talking to me about. We can be having a conversation and then suddenly it sounds like they are just repeating a sentence of words that make no sense to what we are talking about. Example, I work with sports teams and one of the coaches came to me to talk about a player and we started discussing the athletes desire to play. Mid way through the first few sentences, all I could make out he was saying was the same sentence I constantly hear everyone else saying. It reminds me of when you have a song stuck in your head and everything you do just reminds you of the song. The tune never goes away and you are constantly singing it to yourself. The same thing is going on, but there is no music, its just the same few sentences stringed together. Eventually, 15-20 seconds later, all symptoms go away and I feel completely normal again like nothing happened. It seems to come out of nowhere. The same thing happens when I'm watching TV or listening to music and now even when I'm reading. Sometimes the sentences that I am reading just turn into those few sentences that I'm constantly remembering. Really really weird. Any ideas?
