Having Brain Seizures ? Help ?
Posted: 08-26-07 21:53pm

I don't know if I am having seizures or not. If I were to think of what a seizure would feel like, then what I experience seems like it would be it. I am 19, and have been having what I call my "brain shocks" for a while. I remember having them at 15-16, but I didn't pay attention to any time before then. What I am so confused about, is that I don't do the whole 'fall on the ground' or convulse, or do anything obvious. I know before I have a "brain shock", I feel a little lightheaded. Then a buzzing-you could call it-begins in my brain. Sometimes they are light, sometimes more severe, but I never lose consciousness. I feel my eyes move though, I don't know where, but they're going somewhere! Smile Once, I had a severe one, and I stood there as it hit me. One of my friends was talking to me, and I held up my arm with my pointer finger up, telling her to wait. I just stared at the ground, I couldn't really move, or talk or anything. I could hear, but it was like I wasn't in control. Then it faded. I don't know if I am just having weird brain things, or what, but my grandma that used to be a nurse thinks I am having petit mal seizures or something, but I can't find anyone that knows what a seizure feels like when they are having it so that I could compare the feelings. I also get a lot of headaches and migraines...

Can anyone help me? Does this sound like any form of epilepsy-or am i just crazy?

Thank you!

Hi, My name is Jacob koeneman and I have epilepsy since I was A year and 6 months old and Back in 1993 I had brain surgery it was A 12 hour surgery form 9 A.M. to 9 P.M. and during that surgery I had A stroke and it causeed A memory loss and the docters had called it A tempra lobe labectame and I was have 15 seziures a day I could not control and I was home schooled then it was not fun. Now I'm doing better two years ago I had A vegal nurve stimulater put in me It is A metal plate in your chest and electricol wires ran up to your vegal nurve and it comes with a strong mangnet. You can find it under VNS .com and see what it look's like, it is also runed by a battrey that they replace every 12-15 years you can, it also vibrates your throet and gets earatateing any qustions you can E-mail me at jkskoeneman@ hotmail.com


Thanks
