Today, I was staring at the dog. Notice, I didnt know I was staring. But then I notice that I am staring, and I have been staring with my tongue sticking out of my mouth. I dont remember sticking my tongue out initially. I have no idea how long I actually stared, but I did feel a time lapse.

My parents notice my "stares". They say when I have them I am completely still, I dont blink, and my eyes look empty. My eyes look empty to them when I am daydreaming too (Mckeys World). But when I daydream I am oviously indulged in thought. While during my staring spells its as if I am completely void of thought for a few seconds.

I dont remember blacking out. I just remember that I notice that I am staring and sitting completely still.

How can you tell if you black out?

Maybe I dont black out, maybe I just stare with void of thought being completely still without blinking. Maybe?]]> Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:35:44 +0000 http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/33571-staring-spells/ http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/32782-questions-about-psychogenic-seizures/
Just curious.

I understand that psychogenic and real seizures are treated the same. And I am being medicated with 300mg of Limictal a day. So Im just going along with everything at the moment.

Thanks.

i had my first one when i was 21ish and then nothing for years and then BOOM 4-5 more all within the last year, but that's it.

can epilepsy come on so much later in life? aren't you typically born with it?

i've been tested for epilepsy and the nuerologist came up with nothing. we did the at home 3 day EEG and everything, still nothing. my brain waves are normal. nevertheless i go back to see him, the neurologist, next thursday to see what the hell might be going on.

but i'm just curious, do any of you have any ideas??? my blood pressure was 150 over 86 when DH took it immediately after i seized.

i'm just at a loss. :/]]> Thu, 27 Aug 2009 19:17:59 +0000 http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/32076-had-another-seizure-last-night/
