New to this Forum
Mon, 06/22/2015 - 16:40I've been reading this forum for qyears. I'm new here now. Why didn't I join? Honestly I don;t know. I suppose I didn;t want to really recognize it. I think I still don't. December 1992, I had my first Gran Mal sezure. Then 10 years later, after a 7 day limited sleep work tour in Europe, I had another. Then 13 years after that, this past January 30, after a a few all nighters working, another. The medical coommnity can't figure it out. In each case I have the battery of tests, EEG, CT, MRI, Stress Test, all normal. I'm not medicated. Of course they (the medical community) all "know how I feel" waking up on the floor surrounded by people with no idea what happened. :)
I have sleep apnea, moderate to severe at times. Anyway, I don't have too much esle to say now, except that this is a great forum and at the very least, it has brought me comfort and solice, often.
Best wishes to all.
