I’m back…
The neurologist disagrees with teh ER doctors evaluation that I was having seizures. I *TOLD* them so- I should know seizures, because my brother has epilepsy. She thinks the jolting and jerking around have several causes. She suspects a spinal injury, so I have an MRI on Monday. She said that my having numb and tingly hands and feet were her ifst indication. She also said that her spinal ingury patients have told her that they feel electrical jolts- shich is exactly what I'm feeling. The jolts scare me and send me into a wrired cycle of more jolts. It's just weird. She also said that the combination of meds that my regular doctor put me on ALSO have been know to cause jerking, so the two together might be causing the violen reactions. I need to talk to my doctor about getting off the meds. Pronto. Even if all that activity is making me lose weight. ::kidding:: Finally- the fuzzy brain stuff (and extremely bad typing) are concussion related. I also am having really bad memory problems. Eveything feels like a dream (a bad one, at that) to me. I keep asking BER if this or that really happeende. I also keep asking the same questions over and over again. In fact, I'm not really sure I have everything the doctor said correct here. So there. Maybe she said I should amputate my brain. Who knows... What I do remember for sure is that she said I should feel back to normal within a few months, and the weird way I am talking and typing will go away pretty soon. So, there you have it. I'll know more on Monday. Well, probably not. The MRI people probably won't tell me a thing. But I feel that all of this is good news. Thank you everyon for your concern and thoughts. I hope you don't mind if I don't reply to your comments for a few days. It takes me a long time ot type because things jut aren't tracking very well right now. I really am thankful for you all.

I haven't even finished reading this and I had to comment. Shortly after my nephew was born last year he started having seizures that progressively got worse. It turned out that they weren't actually seizures. They eventually discovered that his calcium levels (and something else...I can't remember what) were WAY TOO LOW. He went on supplements and got his levels back to where he needed to be. After a couple months of being "episode" free the doc weened him off of the supplements and he has been fine ever since. So if the MRI comes up AOK talk to them about that.    ![]() Anonymous G wrote:
