transient epileptic amnesia generalized seizure

Also, since most of my seizures happen in the shower, I'm not sure how they'd try to trigger it during an EEG. I do NOT want to go to the hospital for three days. The problem is this: they'd have to get me during one of my seizure clusters, and they can't really schedule me that quickly.

Epilepsy is definitely on the table, particularly Transient Epileptic Amnesia. Now they want to either do an 8-hour EEG or preferably, admit me to the hospital for 1-3 days and do a video EEG. So they did a regular EEG, but since I didn't have a seizure during it, they said it showed nothing. I've also started having periodic thrashes in bed, where my whole body jerks. They come in clusters, about 2 or 3 over a 3 day span, with a month or two in between. I've had about 20 of these, starting last July. When it's over, I'm in a daze for hours, and I have a forgetful, 'brain-fried' feeling. 'Where am I? Where am I?') As it's ending, I get a wave of intense nausea and start retching (but rarely throw up). Sometimes my partner is there and she tells me I get very pale and I ask the same questions over and over (e.g. It's just a weird, swimming feeling with a pressure in my head, I guess.Īnd then the seizure hits. My 'seizures' involve an aura that lasts a few minutes and then intensifies right before it happens. But what's going on is that I'm having these bizarre seizures, or at least the doctors all think that they're seizures, and since no one can think of any cause, epilepsy is on the table. Hi there, so I should preface everything by saying that I have not yet been diagnosed with epilepsy, and quite honestly, hope that I never will.
