Simple Partials? Or something else?

Sat, 05/16/2015 - 11:36

The last two months of my life have been absolute hell. I've been bouncing from doctor to doctor trying to describe the strange feeling that happened one day in my head. I'm 18, female, and one night I was at work just standing there and I got this weird spaced out light headed feeling that over came me. I thought I was going to pass out. I would believe that it was a simple partial, but the thing is, THE FEELING NEVER LEFT. Is it possible that I am having simple partials multiple times a day and just not recovering? And this spacey feeling is lingering? My neurologist says it is possible and that he thinks that I am indeed having simple partial sezuires. But I feel spaced out and total out of it and NOT MYSELF, WEIRD, 24/7. Allllll the time. I've had blood work, a CT, MRI, and EEG which all came back normal. I had a 4 day EEG done over the weekend which my Nero didn't look at yet.. I have been taking 100mg of Trokeni XR for seizures with no relief so far. Is this even possible?? Does this sound like simple partials? Or something else? I'm so scared and I don't feel like myself. What else could this be? If it was sezuires, wouldn't I just feel out of it for like 30 seconds and then back to normal?
