These "attacks" come at insignificant times-they don't coincide with worsening of my RSD pain, changes in my SCS levels, or any kind of outside stress. Just while I am sitting around or standing doing something. No heart-racing/palpitations. I am very suddenly becoming vaso-vagal (sweating, dizzy, disoriented, and feeling like I am going to pass out,) quickly followed by losing control of my bowels. Very embarrassing. This has actually happened in my sleep as well. Two of the episodes recently, I lost conciousness completely-flat on the pavement in a parking lot, then again trying to get to a bathroom after the "damage had been done." I was so disoriented that I was running into cars while walking towards the restroom and having difficulty speaking, couldn't think straight. I have no seizure activity and no seizure history. I don't lose control of my bladder.

Any ideas on this (very off-putting) stumper, my RSD family? Are my spinal nerves trying to make me die of embarrassment?
