when this happens sometimes the floor seems to move/drop..i wonder if this happens for anyone else?..basicaslly though dont be afraid and"let them pass"and check it out as to what type it is with medical people.

Hey Maggie,
Sorry I haven't been on in a while have been busy here with my boys. But hun I would definately push the neuro with the issue if you haven't already. I don't know if we have talked since this has happened or not. But I remember having this happen before my surgery. They shook it off until I had one that put me into one of my major grand mal seizures and when I come out of the seizure I had lost my entire left side function for a period of time. After a bunch of physical therapy and an increase in meds I did eventually work myself back to "normal" but I learned when I went to Boston that it did kill part of my right part of the brain but they weren't going to touch it because they were removing so much from the left side. Therefore I am going to be on the meds forever now. It might help you to print this out and take it to the doctor's office as well because it will give you something to refer to when you talk to him. Take a highlighter and mark the information that you want to make sure that you mention and that way you won't forget. Please give me a call and let me know what is going on. I haven't been quite on the ball because I have had so much going on here. Hope to talk to you soon.

I have had a few 'mild' head injuries (with problems that haven't gone away still. I have electric shock like pains in my head very often somedays like a huindred times. some are worse than others, they are now accompanied by other aura stuff and face body twitches and jerk directly following. Haven't any diagnosis yet. Waiting for an EEG appointment.
