Seizures in post RNY'ers.
06/08/2008
One of you had a seizure at work last week. I just read my email. Another RNY'er a few years post op like me, in fact I think she and I had surgery the same day.
This scares the fuck out of me people. I am sorry if you are offended. Get over it please.
I have had three known grand mal seizures in January, February and April of 2008, and countless smaller seizures that I can't define necessarily, because I can't always decipher what they ARE.
I say that I have had "known" because, who knows, I wonder if more had not occurred previous to that day in January, because I went to the doctor more than a year before that moment with concerns of "disconnection" and feelings of tingling in my limbs and assorted memory issues, wherein I was called BIPOLAR and sent to a psychiatrist.
Thanks for that, by the way, I am still loving that "diagnosis" that doesn't really fit. Do you realize that is following me now - on PAPER - and I cannot 'expunge' it? It is part of my file?
I was in a coffee shop last weekend, with Bob and the kids, and had a complex partial seizure, which triggered me to sit on the floor, because I was aware that I was not all there - and I didn't want to lose my footing and fall, but I lost my memory also. I was sitting on the floor, in public. Do you realize HOW embarrassing this is quickly becoming?
What is going on with us? I would really like my brain back.
