I think I had a seizure driving home from work
I had a Brain Injury and concussion on Oct. 31,2009. I was at my first indoor concert, big light show. "Something" happened to me and I fell rigid onto a wood floor, my head was back, I took the full impact on my jaw bone. I was unresponsive for about 25 minutes. That was then. My Dr. first thought it was a seizure, then said I had Convulsive syncope disorder. I was allowed back to work on January 4,2010. I thought I would go back and everything would be just like when I left. Boy was I wrong. I Knew my memory was not good yet, so I requested a desk job.( I work in a jail) I was told by another Dr. to work like I was trainning for the Olympics. So, I did. I made HUGE mistakes. I did not know I was making them. I had to stay late every night just to finish my work.(Not normal for me-before I was done hours before off time)
The pressure in my head started coming back the 3rd day. Then dizziness,I knew I was exhausted by lunch, but I kept pushing myself- to see if it would all come back to me. My Dr.(not neurologist) put me on a non narcotic pain med to help with my head pain and pressure. One pill did nothing so she told me to take two. I was driving home, it was 8:30 pm, dark out. I saw up ahead the cops were on the side of the road. Lights on. I moved to the left lane. I remember my vision seemed like I was looking through a pin hole. I had not traveled very far when I remember thing WTF . I was going 35 miles an hour ( freeway) and I had finger nail marks in my hand from making a fist? I don't exactly remember driving home, but I got home and I was trying to get in the house. I do not know how long I was trying, because my boyfriend opened the door and he said I was going through the motions of unlocking the door, but I was 2 feet from the door. He said he asked me what was wrong and I kept saying the door in locked over and over. He said I had a strange look on my face. Like Panic.
Does anyone think the lights may have effected me? The meds my dr put me on is ultracet.
Sorry so long.
