Does this sound like a focal aware seizure?
I'm not diagnosed, but my neurologist is thinks I may be having seizures. Would you be willing to see what you think?
I have episodes of profound confusion, a distorted sense of time, feeling disconnected or unlike myself, in a dreamlike state, experience paranoia, difficulty with planning and multi step processes, and difficulty solving problems.
Time perception is off. Two hours feels like ten minutes.
Familiar people can feel like strangers or seem unlike themselves. I have had deep feelings that people are being impersonated and they don't feel like the people I know. I'll even look for clues that they aren't the person I know them to be.
I have trouble remembering recent actions or conversations, planning, understanding things, solving simple math problems, and accessing information I know. I'm not sure if memories are real, or a story I heard. I can't tell if what happened this morning was today or yesterday. I have forgotten to follow up on lots of tasks or daily responsibilities like feeding my dogs.
I just generally feel like I don't know things. Like the feeling of the certainty of knowing is gone.
My emotions feel flat, and I have difficulty reading facial expressions. Difficulty understanding what someone is implying or trying to get me to understand. Difficulty understanding if they are upset or not.
The symptoms fluctuate. For example, my memory could be slightly better earlier in the morning and worse later on.
I'll have profound exhaustion and a very “out of it” feeling. I have episodes of pressure behind my eyes, sluggish eye movement, and trouble focusing, especially in dim light; it feels like being drunk. It improved, though some pressure and sluggishness remained. I also don't feel confident judging timing and braking while driving.
I also feel fatigued and like I need to sleep most of the day even though I don't.
What do you think?
