Does this sound like seizures
Mon, 04/01/2019 - 09:32Hello, getting desperate so going far-reaching.
I'm 17 and female and have been having these weird episodes I don't know what causes them but they're quite distressing. Almost every morning I get one withing 90 minutes of waking up, I start feeling weird I can't explain how but just weird. I get muscle twitches all over my body, mostly calves, thighs, abdomen, and upper arms. I get super bad brain fog, and severe dizziness and nausea, my vision gets blurry and hard to control. My tongue also feels thick and heavy and I have a hard time talking. Fine motor control is also difficult, I get super shaky and have issues walking. This event usually lasts about 90 minutes and leaves me shaky and exhausted.
I'm on cymbalta, northera, ranitidine, adderall, pyridistigmatine, northenindrone, midodrine, spironilactone for my medications and I'm diagnosed with ehlers danlos syndrome type 3, autonomic neuropathy, chairi malformation, and CCI. I've had a cranial decompression and a c1 laminectomy.
Help?
