Brain Melts - This is something wierd that happens to me.
Mon, 05/15/2006 - 14:41Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
Not sure if this is ep related or not but when I am tired sometimes my vision seems to appear to melt. It happens really quick, like only for a split second, but everything just melts then it goes back to normal. Does this happen to anyone else? And no, I didn't go ask Alice when she was 10 feet tall.

Not really a pulling sensation but almost a blipping sensation. It happens so fast I hardly notice it. It's almost like watching a movie and one or two frames on the reel are melted. It's almost kind of cool.

LOL, I get something kind of like that, too. What freaks people out that I know, I get actual hallucinations if the temporal lobe sz is a bad one. I have been at work and watched something "come out" of my computer monitor, and still to this day have no clue what it is. The weird thing, it is always very familiar to me, and I've never been fearful of the visions (what I call them), but I never have any recollection of them after the episode.

LOL! My vision will do that at times too. I'm not sure if it's the meds, E, or a tired brain but it is an unreal feeling! Do your eyes have a 'pulling' sensation when this happens? Mine do and it feels weird! -Spiz
