funny turns

Hello

I have had / have the exact feeling that you describe. its good to know that someone else knows what I mean when I described it as trying to explain or articulate epileptic sensations to others can be very difficult.

hope u are well

i have been trying to find some one that has these same feelings , im pleased to see someone understands , so hard to describe hey , and i have just seen a neroligist today , i wish i had been able to tell him im not the only one with this problem , it looks like i might have got this from too many bouts of the flu , but thats to be sorted out after i get an eeg , again ,i had one in 2009 and diagnosed with epilepsy , put on epilem and such after a couple of years i had so much bad side affects i told the doc i had had enough and stopped all medication , since then my TURNSare getting further apart and not so bad , so i will wait now and get the eeg , but not too keen on the trial and error of tablets , ,, im 86 this year and im determined to sort this out , hope you get some results too ok 

Hi cakey7,

i am am not a doc, but was diagnosed with seizures 9 months ago. I too was having dejavu, along with phantom smells, and nausea. I was to,d they were panic attacks. Lasted anywhere from a few seconds to under a minute. Then I started to black out and not remember what happened the next 10 - 15 minutes.  The last one that happened, I was driving, and thank God I was not in an accident. I had been driving for 15 minutes when I "came to". I went to a neurologist and within minutes of describing dejavu and phantom smells, I was diagnosed with simple partial seizures. I had these so called "panic attacks on and off for years until I started losing time. I would look into seeing a neurologist. Best of luck.
