Hi Hockey

This happened to me once when I was on a cruise with my late wife the summer before she died. We were sitting at dinner, and I didn't notice anything, but suddenly this doctor sitting to my right stated that he was sure that I had just had a petit mal seizure.

I used to take Neurontin for burning nerve pain (from arm injuries and JRA) but it has a side effect of severe edema. I still take it if the burning nerve pain flares up. NSAIDS and narcotics don't touch this pain, but neurontin does. Is that what you're taking? It was originally for seizures....

make sure as the others said to keep a journal of these for your doctor
