hello. I am new to forum today. I have epilepsy but greatfully have been seizure free for many years. I had childhood grand mal and petit mal. The last one I had was 9 years ago after the birth of my third son (petit mal) lasted 2 hours and was an isolated incident. I didnt have an aura before that one, but was reading online tonight that dejavu can be an auro and I was having lots of dejavu at that time (for a long time) and chalked it up to being pregnant. Lots of dejavu when pregnant, many people do. I cant remember if I had auras when I was a kid so I guess that means I did not have them.
Recently last 3 years, on occasion I have heard a "Click" in my head and then for a split second I see dark and feel woozy, like I almost went down. My head bobs back and to the right, but then I am fine. It gives me a strange feeling like I was going to pass out or have a seizure. More recently, under tons of stress and sleep deprived for 2 years due to college classes, I have been having this almost daily. Ive been trying to get more sleep and rest because each time I have this "click" a strange feeling like I just escaped a seizure and doomed to have one floods over me.
Other symptoms over the last 2 months are periods of slow thinking, forgetting words, calling things the wrong words, not articulating words well, sounding confusing to others, and almost like a stutter but not quite when i begin sentences. ( This is more like all the constanants to the first couple of words in the sentance I was going to ask rapidly coming out together before the first few words do. Dont think Im nuts but for example.. c y h mm my cup ...for.... can you hand me my cup ) . I am not doing these things all at one time, but rather one or more of these things some of the time, some days are worse than others. It is frustrating.
Can this be an aura? Does anyone have the same things?
I am also wondering if any of you know if it is possible that I have been having some sort of mild seizure and not know it and these are the after effects? Or maybe I have dementia at 34? lol just kidding. Something is wrong obviously but i can afford to let the doctors explore all the possibilities, was thinking if I ask on here then I know to see the neurologist, if it could be seizures.
