OT: need prayers.

Sona

Veteran

I had a wonderful trip to LA to see my BFF and her family. Our families get along famously. Christmas Eve we were planning to go for a foot massage- me, my BFF and our hubbies. I walked to get changed out of my jeans into sweats as the foot massage involves some leg work as well and woke up in an emergency room. Her little son found me on the ground, it appears I had a seizure- no history of any before. I had an EEG yesterday back home and have an MRI on monday. I am not allowed to drive which is a huge bummer. I see the neurologist next week and am hoping it was just a one off crazy reaction from recent meds: I am still battling the worst sinus infection I've ever had. If you believe in prayers or positive thoughts please send some my way.I am feeling worn out since the event. I did work thursday and half day friday but have to admit to being rather nervous. Thinking positive thoughts.

Oh, Sona - you poor thing! You've been through the wringer lately You are, and will be, in my prayers for health and no more blackouts! I hope you can find some ways to treat yourself well these days of waiting for appointments - the wait is stressful . . .

Has your sinus infection improved any since the incident? Are those meds almost done?

This most recent round of antibiotics is helping. I could take only one day of steroids as I began to have really scary thoughts while on them. the (steroids) would have made it easier to clear but was not meant to be.I was able to fly both ways with minimal ear discomfort so that was a blessing. still have tons of postnasal drainage though. I just want to be well and stay well... its even harder because many people have an assumption that healthcare providers should not fall ill! Sorry to burden my fashinoistas with this but without feeling well I cannot even put my fashion feet forward and that makes my mood worse even!

Oh, sweetie, that is so scary! I'm sending you lots and lots of good vibes and big hugs. Hope your MRI comes out clean and that this was just a one off thing. Take care of yourself, sweet lady!

Neuro issues are always scary. Not the same thing really, but I've had three bouts of bells palsy (once in my teens and twice in my 20s) with an MRI each time. Most people who get it only get it once. MRI and other tests always came out clean. So, on the one hand, yay no brain problems. But on the other hand nobody can figure out why I keep getting this. On the plus side I do have some cool pictures of my brain.

Fwiw, I think stress can cause a lot of neuro issues.

Holy crap, how scary! So happy to hear your up and well now, I so hope it was just a one time thing, I'll be thinking about you and looking for your update. Take care!

Oh Sona, I am so sorry. Keep positive! Of course, I am no medical professional, but we went thru a similar episode with one of my friend's daughters. She was told that often times these things are transient and do not repeat again. It could have been triggered by stress, infection etc. She never had another seizure again!!!! I am just glad you did not injure yourself in the fall. My friend's daughter got injured pretty badly as she fell in her bathtub, so sad. I am so glad she healed so well.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Sona, I am so sorry to hear you are going through this. I had my first grand mal when I was 29 and have been on seizure meds since. I know the not driving part is awful. The good news is, once stabalized, you can drive again. For me, it was worse than the actual condition. Please let us know what your test results reveal. Was your EEG normal?

Sona

Veteran

Thank you guys. Deb: thank you for sharing your story with me- it means a lot. I do not know the result of the EEG-just had it last evening- the tech would not disclose findings ((rightly so). I am hoping my neurologist will let me know on monday.
Diana: you are right most people have only one episode of bell's in their life. Hoping it does not happen ever again to you.
I have a busted lip but luckily no other injuries.

That sounds really scary, but I would try not to get ahead of things -I know this is extremely hard but try not to expect the worst. Positive thinking is always better both for mind and body.

I am not religious so can't really pray but I do wish you the best of luck with this and hope your doctors can find a cause and a solution.

Sona I'm sending positive thoughts your way. Zapotee is right these things can be a reaction to meds or stress or both.

I will be thinking of you, Sona! Hang in there until you know what is what. No sense worrying until you have the facts. I am hopeful this is a one-time thing, and glad you did not hurt yourself too badly in your fall.

Oh noes, Sona! That must have been terrifying for both you and your family.

Really, really hoping it turns out to be one of those one-off things, the seizure that's a combination of odd circumstances never to be repeated. You know that's the likeliest scenario, probably, with no medical history until now.

(I hear you about the frustration of not driving. I've dealt with an undiagnosed could-be-seizure problem for years, and while no one's able to come up with a firm diagnosis as tests keep coming back fine or ambiguous, the one thing every doctor is clear on --- and quite rightly --- is that I ought to save myself and the general public from having an episode behind the wheel. I'm still waiting to learn and get a licence, for which I need to be clear for 5 years --- almost got there once!)

Oh, that sounds terrifying. I am so sorry this happened to you. I hope this was a result of the medication you are taking and nothing more serious. My thoughts are with you.

I just saw this thread and I'm so, so sorry to hear about this episode. You must have been scared out of your wits. I'm sure you are in good hands medically, and that you'll get a diagnosis soon. Try to stay positive - I know that's not easy - you've been sorely tested lately. My Rx is love and laughter - play some silly games with your DD, snuggle up on the sofa and watch some funny movies. Here's to better health in 2013!
