Thank you for the explination crescent. Ive got an appointment with my doctor thursday and am hoping he can put in for an eeg, his office works close with our local hospital and they can order tests through the hospital for little or no charge. If not idk, i dont have 300 to see the neuro(we only have 2 in town, one i already saw and have been advised to go to the other one instead of the first one i saw) and im sure i dont have enough for an eeg. I applied for medicaide and was told i made 50$ too much a month so i dont have insurance.
Money aside though, i dont remember the seizures at all, i just know when i come back that something happened. It kind of feels like my conscience mind is a rubberband and i get pulled back and when i come back from the seizure i like snap back into consciousness, the same thing happens with my blackouts, tge seizures though lasted 3-5 minutes but the blackouts could last hours months to a full year. But before the seizures, i wasnt really hyperventalating or anything, my heart started to race, i started to get dizzy and wanted to put my head down, i also started to tingle really badly in my private area, which was something new, but the other dizzy heart racing panic feeling is how i get when im having a panic attack.
I really hope we (the doctors and myself) can figure this out, maybe long term monitoring would be good, the full seizures were over six months apart but a few of the things you mentioned do happen and have for years, but they only last a few seconds and i remember them so i never thought too much about it.
Thank you again for such an informative response. It really helped me understand more
