Is this what I have?
Sat, 10/28/2017 - 18:18I hope this makes sense.
Today I was driving and had an episode of Déjà Vu. The more I tried to figure out why I thought I had had this thought before, I got a super bad headache followed by dry heaving. Of the course of the next few minutes I started to remember less and less about that thought sequence. I tried desperately to hang on to it but within 5 minutes it was gone. Now this is where it gets weird. Even though now I can't remember what the Déjà Vu was about, I do know that I've had the same Déjà Vu and got sick that time too.
I just googled to see if Déjà Vu normally makes people sick and that's how I got here. Since that episode I have felt weak, foggy, and drunk. Could this have been a seizure?

Sounds similar to the episodes that I have. My De'ja' vu is so mixed with emotion it is hard to describe and remember. I suggest you keep good record of how often and when these events occur. Be open with your doctor about what you experience. I remember I felt so foolish describing these events to my doctor because I thought they must think I'm crazy. But a good doctor will recognize what is going on. And with epilepsy doctors rely upon these descriptions more than anything to make a diagnosis. They cannot listen to your heart and check you pule or blood pressure to diagnose seizures.I wish you well
