Pag's intro
Sun, 10/29/2006 - 18:56Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
Hi I'm Mike Paglia aka "Pag". I'm a freelance cartoonist/caricature artist. I was diagnosed with Complex Partial Seizures in 1992; but over the years some other kinds of seizures have surfaced:
1) Absent Seizures
2) Auras on top of auras (are these called Simple Partial?)
3) The feeling that my eyes are being pulled back with a slingshot, then let go. Those cause bad headaches:(
4). The feeling that my brain's been flushed down the toilet; leaves me feeling drained.
5) Seeing and hearing things that aren't there. It fits what I read here: http://www.epilepsy.com/epilepsy/seizure_simplepartial.html
My neuro doesn't seem to take me seriously. I'll talk and he'll write things down. I need to get a hold of my records so I can get a better idea of what he thinks is going on.
Anyways, if anybody can clue me in on all my kinds of seizures I seem to be expeirncing, I'd appreciate it.
