I Have Seizures
We had a couple the other day. Twice in one day really wears us down. Still don't know what kind of seizures they are since we still need to go get tests done. But damn the headaches from it lasts for days. 😵

@JessyHellbound: tegretal ,i was on phenobarb and dilantin ,they didn't works as well . do you have any warning or do they just hit out of the blue?

Most times my vision starts to go out slow enough that I can pull over if im driving or go lay down and take something for the pain I know im going to have but there have been times that it all happened too dang fast out of nowhere.

@JessyHellbound: i can't drive till i can prove i'm seizure free . for me it starts in my head ,i get a little dizzy and i know whats coming so i start to panic . my feet start to tingle like asleep ,it moves slowly up my body ,as it does i get full blown panic attack , i get a metal taste in my mouth , my head is spinning ,and sound is distorted ,like an echo ,i hear the sounds over and over each time getting louder , i can't see things go double , i'm so scared by then i just feel like all my senses are out of control ,finally the sound gets so loud and echos so fast i just black out ,i don't have to tell you what happens then

@shadowplay: i hope that it all works out for you man! I stopped driving because of this too. Almost the same thing happens. I start stressing out and then because I worry too much I start blacking out so I just stopped all together. Dr. says I shouldnt be driving anyway.

@JessyHellbound: it suks having to worry about how to pay for something so important!

I know it! It's a one day at a time kind of thing.

@JessyHellbound: good luck buddy ,if you can identify things that trigger seizures you can avoid them ,strobe lights ,sirens and extremely loud noises trigger mine ,but sometimes they just hit out of no where
