Q: Seizures and muscle weakness
asked by: meandean on April 24th, 2009

My symptoms started in January of 2006, up until that point I was an athelete, weight training, and doing cardio five days a week. First symptoms was shortness of breath, rapid heart beat, muscle weakness and a high pitch voice. At that time I was diagnoised with having Super ventricle tacycardia, I had an ablation two days after the ablation I was having all the same symptoms. Had become excercise intolerant, climbing stairs I would get to the top and drop to the ground out of exhaustion and muscles being weak, heart racing. In June of 2008 I started passing out, in July 2008 I pasted out while sitting at my desk, went to the ER CT came back neg., I was hospitalized an EEG was performed showing I was having Complex partial seizures, even after being put on anti seizure meds I continued to have seizures, muscle weakness, fatigue, and high pitch voice after having seizures, headaches. Was treated by my neuro for six months was on 3 different anti seizure meds, had two more EEG's both showed seizure activity and "burst". January 2009 went to an Eptologist who hopspilized me for one week for an EEG study, study showed no Seizure activity??? My Neuro washed his hands of me after that saying to come back if needed. I was taken off all seizure meds and was feeling better for about one month and now all of the above is happening again. I have no quality of life, I push myself to work only because that is what I must do. In 1998 I did have brain surgery for an aracnoid cyst and water on the brain, I have a shunt. In 2004 I had cervical neck surgery at c6-7 for a ruptured disk, I was a study patient for the Bryan Cervical disk at the University of Miami, bending over and going up a flight of stairs can trigger an episode. Any ideas or suggestions of somewhere or someone that could help me would be greatly appreciated, I need my life back.
Thank you for your time in advance.
