About 10 years ago I had two seizures... [View all]
One at home after an aural migraine which I have had several times before...then another seizure in the hospital.
I must preface this with the fact that I had a bout of gall stone pain..for about a week long...unrelenting....which began when I was 17 (not unrelenting, but often enough) ..I was 50 plus then...and took aspirin, another pain killer and a friend's 'muscle relaxer' (which I have not idea to this day what it was...she was on about 5 psychotropic type drugs)
I had the usual visual aura with all the spiral enlarging shapes...then went to the bathroom and could not put my hands on the toilet paper roll.
Called my sig other to state I think I am having a stroke...every thing was the opposite...when putting my hand through the jacket It went up...when trying to step down the stairs my feet went up...
My friend told the folks from the ambulance...she needs to be on a stretcher!
in the the hospital I began shaking...the doctors asked why I was shaking, and I said I did not know...next thing...I am out of it..and got a MRI...and told to go to a neurosurgeon...only when I tried..I was told I had to get a referral from a GP..seems a referral from the emergency room is not good enough
I never went to a neurosurgeon
