This is exactly the same thing as i had over 8 years ago! GET THIS. It all stopped i was treated with epelin and everything was fine until on tuesday i went dizzy and had funny sensations in my left arm and leg, my eyes felt heavy and like somebody had poked them and as i fell i bumped my head, i remember hearing my husband call my name, he saw it all happen, i wanted to ansewr but it was like my spech was paralised as well as my body, then it went all fuzzy with a ringing in my ears like a 'tuning fork' sound , i dont remember what happened after that, then the paramedics were talking to me, that was the next thing i was aware of. SHOCKED oh yes, after 8 years it has come back 2 ruin mylife again, dam i was just thinking of trying my driving test again. anyone had anthing like this??? would love to hear about it, i'm confussed, and i feel like i'm on my own with this, feel a bit silly, i hate people fussing and everyone is fussing, like i'm a cripple and they need to wrap me in cotton wool, it's doing my head in!!!

Hi, I have an 11 year old daughter.. She within the last year started fluttering her eyelids, her eyes will role back and her eyelids will flutter.. I took her to a eye dr. he told me i should go to a nuro dr. When this happens she stops whatever it is she is doing and goes through this motion, and then comes out of it saying "what??" Nothing else happens to her, she doesn't faint or pass out... I am trying to figure this out .. I am calling a nuro tomorrow... She does this troughout the day.. not once or twice... constantly. ANy input...? thank you, TIna
