This is my first time using this forum, so I am new to this whole process. I have so many health problems right now, so it is hard to focus on just one. I will just focus on the epilepsy since that is what this forum is for. I was diagnosed with adult on-set temporal lobe epilepsy at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida in November 2012. I had a febrile convulsion when I was 15 months old. My convulsion lasted over 30 minutes and my fever was 106 rectally. I had no further problems until I was about 45 years old. I was a first grade teacher at the time and my students started telling me I was more or less spaced out at times. I would be reading or teaching them and I would just zone out. Then my family and friends started noticing problems too. Since my trip to the Mayo I have now started having "brain zaps" up to 30 times a day. Some days are much worse than others. Then yesterday I had one huge zap that felt like I put my finger in an electric outlet. Later in the evening I was sitting next to my husband while he was on his laptop and I looked at the screen. Immediately, I started having "brain zaps" second after second and my head started spinning. That had never happened before. Does anyone know what might be going on and why I am experiencing these changes? I plan to let my doctor know on Monday, but I have to get throught the weekend. Thanks!
