OK, I'am still very confused about this whole epilepsy ordeal! I have read so many stories and can not believe how many different types of seizures there are, I can not fathom the idea. And am so confused!!! I was at the hospital Fri the 24'th and was talking to a woman whose husband was there, He was in an induced coma,he has had seizures for 39 years and all of a sudden can not stop,as soon as they try to bring him out he starts to have seizures. She was telling me about all the different types. Of course i told her my story and she said i am to young and need to find out what is wrong and or find another doctor. Aug,04. my blood sugar bottomed out, the E.M.T.'s could not get it to register, I was in and out of it, so bad as a matter of fact i was taken by ambulance to e.r. fed and sent home. I hit my head so hard it left a bald spot. From there things took off, I really do not know if i have epilepsy or hit my head so many times that i now have seizures. Between Aug and Dec,04. there were several events, Dec,24. I was at a second job,was waiting on one last customer so i could close get home and prepare for xmass. The next thing i know was waking up at the hospital, kept over night and sent home, family was told i may have had a heart attack,then why was i sent home, very unaware of my surroundings, hit the same spot on my head , which left a three inch bald spot. This continued til July,05. On 7-1-05 i was trying to get into the shower, my daughter heard a loud thump and started screaming, she knew what happened,she broke in to get me. I was told i refused the ambulance, I do not remember seeing or hearing anybody but i could hear myself yelling i promise. I was admitted on 7-1 and released on 7-3. All i can remember was seeing the front of the hospital, waking up to see a cage being slammed over my head, waking up at a diner tray and waking up in a shower being burned by hot water and the lights were off. Any way, i came home and slept for weeks and weeks, Every part of my body hurt, my forearms looked like a battle zone, i had a black eye, the bruises on my back and shoulder were unreal, with scratches,I looked as though a wild animal got ahold of me! There was blood with a strange brown colored fliud draining from my nose, my ears hurt from sticking my fingers in them, they were so moist. The list goes on and on. And i now have serious rounds of vertigo, the last one lasted 30 min's. I lost vision in the upper right half of my left eye, the room was spinning and spinning, i started sweating ,my head only, my speech was slured, heart was raceing, my whole body was very hot. My son took me to a hospital in a nearby town and it was there i found out the hospital i was in (doctor) released me in a vegitative condition, with a hematoma and an indented skull fracture. The pain is debilitating, yesterday i slept 17 hours, my eyes swell so bad the area at the eyebrows buldges over my eyelids, i believe a clear thick fluid is still draining from my eyes espesially while i lay down for long periods of time. There is also a part of my skull on the left side that curves and that seperates and a buldging soft spot can be felt, the slighest pressure causes extreem pain. I currently am seeing a neuro, whom i believe does not give a damn, will not tell me any thing, has all records and will not coment when i ask questions, I get these looks, that make me feel like you've got to be kidding or lady you're CRAZY! A lady at the hospital that i was admitted to told that it was a close call! I still do not know what she was talking about, the nuero has those records and will not tell me any thing about it! I have heard so many horror stories about epilepsy and the way people are treated after being what i call labeled epileptic, It is heart breaking as to how alot of people are treated! I'am so sorry i got off the subject i was responding to, I did not mean to do this. Maybe that is why i do not get a response to any thing. By the way i take 700 mg. phenytoin daily and have no problems with that what so ever. I would love to hear from any body , Is there any body who has or is going threw any thing like this,PLEASE TALK TO ME !!! One more thing, I see a new doctor who is going to do her best to help me sort this mess out for legal purposes. Take care and God Bless All!!!!
