Last night I had a
seizure, first one I've had in a long time. It wasn't exactly typical in that
it lasted about 10 minutes, a lot longer than usual. I've had ones like this,
but not often. When they last that long, I have severe disparities in spatial-
and self-awareness. Last night my brain was perceiving my body as very small
while my head and hands were very large. It sounds crazy and feels even
crazier. I got the usual nausea and weeping. Also had the usual burning and
tingling on the right side of my face, head, and neck.
Am wondering why now?
Is it the RA meds? Is it stress from school again? Is it lack of sleep? All of
the above probably. I hope the RA meds aren't playing a role though. If it is
and it causes seizures the way hormonal birth control does, I'm in for a lot
more seizures :-/
My elbow was flaring
really badly again last night. Still waiting to hear from rheumy what he
thinks. I know he wants the Humira to kick in so we don't have to deal with it,
but in the mean time I'm in some pretty crazy pain.
