Vertigo
Sat, 07/16/2016 - 13:09Hello! I have juvenile myoclonic epilepsy with grandmal, petite mal, and partial seizures.I haven't had a grandmal seizure since I was 11 and I'm 26 now. My neurologist recently diagnosed me with partial seizures because I've been having petite mal seizure like feeling without the seizures for a year and a half now and only when I'm waking up even from a half hour nap. Recently I have been sleeping 7 hours a night(I have a 1 year old) which I think is enough but my doctor disagrees. Ive been having random vertigo pretty badly but once a couple weeks appart. A week ago they have been daily. It lasts usually around 30 minutes long and yesterday it was so bad for that 30 minutes I couldn't get off the couch because I couldn't walk without stumbleing. These are starting to scare me because of it happening daily now. I even slept last night for 10 hours and its just now its waring off. My sleep cycle hasnt changed recently and when I was waking up with my son every 3 hours until he was 6 months old this never happened.Its only the last two months that this has been happening.... Has this happened to anyone else?
