Hmm, I'm not usually woozy this long after a seizure. Usually when I have one, it hits and then goes and nothing else happens for six to twelve months. This one, I had last Wednesday, had my usual dizziness the day afterward, but then Friday and the weekend I was fine.
However, this week I went into work as per normal on Monday - did the not on the phones thing, still a bit nervous about talking to the customers, after freezing on the phone, not able to speak or move at all, before blacking out last Wednesday. However, I felt faint a couple of times before needing to hold onto the photocopier to stay upright, and left the place after about an hour.
Yesterday, Tuesday, I was again on the email work, went into work, nervous as heck about what was happening in my head, but was okay, until about 4pm. Dizzy spell, feeling leaving my legs a lot, and my arms a bit - having to pinch my arms to spark feeling again, and I thought enough is enough, I have to lie down for a bit.
After laying down for a bit in the sick room, off to home - having to concentrate on keeping track of my thoughts, that is one of the worst feelings, having to concentrate to just keep up with normal background transmission. Made it home safely enough, but had a bit of dizziness last night even - or I could just be worrying myself sicker.
Off to the doctor's today - I really wonder whether it is the normal epilepsy thing, the episode last Wednesday was more a black out than a 'normal' seizure - I didn't convulse, I didn't have a headache, I didn't have aching muscles - and am wondering whether the epilepsy is a convenient cover for something else/worse. I would like to see a specialist, maybe a neurologist...
And of course the illness keeping up my stress levels, with a dash of that old familiar, depression in there. One problem, my debt is almost out of the way, but the others are scrabbling for attention before the money issue is completely out of the way. Maybe a psych as well on the shopping list.
Just thinking out loud here, we will see how the appointment goes later this morning.
