slurred speech and shaking Posted: 06-04-08 12:21pm
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?

Hi, my son has had epilepsy since he was 4
years old, just absence siezures; he is
now 11. However he sometimes has episodes
exactly as you have described, and the
doctors cannot explain what it is. Even
his neurologist has never heard of it
before. He even described the burning
smell and said that he can't seem to
recognise anyone. He also said that
afterwards he feels very tired, his arms
feel wierd and parts of his body feel
numb. I wish I could help you more, I
know it must be scary, I'm still trying to
find an answer myself. Please let us know
if you come up with anything?
