Epilepsy???

Thu, 05/15/2014 - 06:27

Hi all,

For a few months now, I've had weird experiences.  I'm going about my daily business when suddenly, its as if iv'e had a very, very vivid 'Memory' gets forced into my thoughts.  Its not an hallucination, i can't see or hear anything.  It's just that this memory is so strong.  But the more i try and solidify it in my mind, it starts to fade until I'm left with nothing other than the knowledge that something strange has just happened.  While its happening, i can still function normally.  

Any help would be great.  Thanks in advance.

Hello. Here is my thought. You might be having a Simple Partial Seizure, that is an aura, it is of a memory, and you have it, but you don't go into a seizure, you just maybe zone out, and then you come back a few seconds later. Simple Partial Seizures are seizures, but what a dr. would call an aura, it could be a memory, a smell, a feeling, you have, then come out and are fine. Maybe you might be tired. I have auras, mostly for a few days after I have a grand mal seizure while sleeping. Then I am fine. Just a thought. Good day.
