Finally told my doctor

Hi everyone - you were all very supportive a few weeks ago when I told you about some of the things that have been happening to me. I finally screwed up my courage and went to my doctor and told her just a few of the items going on. The cognitive spaciness, smelling/tasting things not there, the colored dots, hearing music... She started thinking maybe it was migraines or low blood pressure until I mentioned the deja vu. Then she said "oh, you're having seizures". She got a little upset about it until she found out it's been going on for years, and then she tried to reassure me that because it's been an issue for such a long time it's probably not a tumor.
She's sending me to an eye doctor for a full exam just to be sure my eyes are fine, and then an MRI, and then the neurologist. Hopefully the MRI will come back clear.
