That really did explain a lot, thank you. It also explains a lot from my past as well. Ive had two pdocs in my life that have brought up seizures thinking it might not be DID but instead could be seizures. I was confused but it makes sense considering the symptoms. Ive jad a CT scan done once or twice and they came back fine but thats the only testing ive had done. Back about 5 years ago i was under a great deal of stress and had a blackout that landed me in the emergency room. I only remember flashes of that night but i was completely unmedicated and no drugs pr alcohol which are doctord first questions. From what i was told the next day, i was crawling on the floor yelling that i was going to die. I asked them to call the ambulance when i couldnt stop vomiting. The ambulance hooked me up to oxygen and an EKG and i remember a flash of being rolled into the hospital on a stretcher. I can remember like a 2 second flash a few times that night but of the entire night (and it started at like 3pm) thats alli can remember. I think they did a cat scan that night.
My reason for mentioning this is, if i was having seizures they would have known that night while it was happening right? I am terribly sorry to anyone who has e, my heart goes out to you. If they were psuedoseizures, whatever happened in may and june, was horrifying and i can take the DID diagnosis over e. Its so incredibly scary. I got such extreme anxiety after the seizures, i never felt anxiety that bad.
When i had the seizure in may, i tried to fight it off. I even said something out loud to my fiamce to stay with it, i said "pretty sky" but my voice sounded a mile away. When my head started to feel heavier i just gave in. I leaned my seat back (we were in the car, he was driving since my license was suspended) and i just let it happen really. I was having a panic attack, which is what i believe triggered it and my last thought was "there is no way i can go to work feeling like this" then apparently i stiffened and then collapsed and fell into my fiances lap and while he was driving he had to lift me and hold me up while i wasnt moving, then i stiffened again then collapsed again before coming out of it.
The one in august was much more terrofying with convulsions and such, and i was really anxious then as well, but didnt know what was going to happen so i didnt try to fight it off.
I am hoping maybe they were psuedo seizures and i am in therapy lowering my stress and anxiety with each session so it doesnt happen again, i dont care if i ever get my license back, so long as i never have another seizure
