Yes I have Vicki. One specialist did think they were associated to ministrokes or seizures and had me go through a bunch of tests and brain scans. The second specialist he sent me to said it was stress. That was a few years ago and I just shrugged my shoulders and left it at that. Whatever. My typical experience with docs. Months and months of tests and waiting between appointments wondering what was wrong only to be told they didn't know or it was stress.
When I was 11 I fell off my bike and ended up with a concussion and amnesia for 4 or 5 days. I don't know the details but they were getting ready to prep me for surgery. I remember being really upset because it meant they were going to shave off my long hair. Before they shaved my head the did another set of xrays and the story goes that what had initially suggested surgery on the first set of xrays turned out to be a scratch on the xray. The second set resulted in the surgery being cancelled. Maybe it was just that the sweeling went down on its own. I just know it scared me to think they could have made a mistake like that.
I have a lifetime of these kinds of experiences with doctors so unless I collapse I don't bother with the run around and the long waits between specialist visits. Seems 2 specialist can never agree with what ailes me from time to time. Seems to often come down to stress. Who knows.
Thanks for asking Vicki. I just wondered if anyone else experienced anything like that.
