slurred speech and body jerking Posted: 06-06-08 10:33am
Im a 34 y/o female. On the 10th of may
something strange happened to me. I was
lying in bed and all of a sudden i felt
strange. I got out of bed and I had this
staggering walk..and my speech was either
absent or slurred. I was at home of
course...but my surroundings seemed
unfamiliar. I was taken to the ER and all
the lab work and CT came back normal. i
was given medication for the jerking and
sent home. Later that week I was
hospitalized because I continued to have
episodes of slurred speech...weakness in
my legs. I had an MRI and it was normal.
As of today, i continue to have these
symptoms along woth other unexplained
symptoms. They include...feeling like I'm
floating at times, slurred speesch or
unable to speak, shaking of hand or foot
or both,strange smell (like something is
burning), a chill sensation on the skin, a
sudden overwhelmed feeling. Those are all
I can point out at this time. Besides the
fact that when these attacks are over, I'm
really really tired..and have pain or
weakness in my legs. Could this be some
type of seizure?

hiya, im not right sure and i dont want to
get you worried but my boyfriend has
suffered epilepsy for years, it comes and
goes at stressful times, he is now having
them now and he feels like you, he has to
be bed bound some days cause his legs are
so sore after the seizures, he also feels
like he is in a day dream all day, has bad
headaches, he takes epilim, maybe you
should go see your doctorv and expres your
concerns, let me know what happens if you
do,
