Hi CZ,
Sorry I forgot to tell you that if you have an MRI done you might want to ask the Dr. to order a FMRI (functional MRI) or a comtrast MRI with the comtrast MRI they will do a quick blood test first and then they will have you drink or either give you a shot of the comtrast dye and sometimes people get sick from the dye. I know the last time I had this done I had a nausea for 2 days and then it cleared up. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

Thanks Sue - I will definitely ask when I speak with the doctor this am. I know they are ordering the eeg as well- dont know if I am spelling that correctly! i hope they find what is causing these sz and the non stop headaches-the headaches are getting worse and seem to be on the left side primarly- I dont know if that is significant- also have vertigo. thank you again for all your help Ill let you know. Sincerely, CZ

Hi CZ,
I hope all went well for you when you saw your Dr. My prayers are with you and I wish you the best. May God Bless You!

Sue

Hi thank you so much everyone, My MRI is wednesday and my EEG is Thursday, i will let you know how things go. Another site recommended that I have a sleep apena test as well. This was primarly because of the fear in my seizures. I was wondering if anyone else has sleep apnea along with their sz. Hope I didnt post some of this already, I have severe memory loss from my RSD treatments! So forgive me if I did, Sincerely, CZ

Hi CZ,
I'm glad that you are having a sleep apnea test done. I have a brother that has sleep apnea but he's never had a single sz. his Dr. has him on a breathing object (I'm not sure what it's called) because when he tries to sleep he snores so loud and he stops breathing, then he can't get to sleep but since he's been using the breathing object it's helped him greatly. I know there are different form of sleep apnea and it can lead to sz. for some people. I have also wondered if you may have narcolepsy which could answer the questions as to why you wake up scared or frightened sometimes. After you get your test results back this will answer all of your questions as to what's going on. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Hi CZ,

I also do have Sleep aphea. I go with the Cpat, which it wasn't hard to get use to. It keeps my breathing steady and during the night I seem to sleep better. I really have not had problems with them together.

Let me know if you have any questions.
