Hello all, and thank you for taking the time to read this. Ten years ago I experienced several episodes where I felt déjà vu, anxiety, a sense of unfamiliarity, like I stepped out of myself. It's so hard to explain. Weird memories pop up, some may not even be my own memories, and the whole experience is scary. I did tests and nothing was found. Recently these started again, and two days ago it happened in the shower, I blacked out and fell, cracking open my head. Luckily my mom was in town, and we went to the ER where they did an ekg and catscan, all normal. I'm very scared because since then I've been having these episodes daily, and I am alone with my 3 month old son every day. From what I researched it seems like it could be partial simple seizures. I see a neurologist in a week, but until then I was hoping anyone could share insight or experiences. Thank you in advance.

Welcome scared new mom.

Thank you Kitt

Welcome to the NeuroTalk Support Groups.

We do have an Epilepsy Forum
here. It may be worth posting over there as well to get suggestion from people who may be dealing with or have dealt with the same symptoms.

There is also information about types of seizures and other resources in the "Sticky" posts at the top of that forum.

I'm really sorry to read about your fall. I hope you are OK from that.

take care of yourself.

Hi,
I have had similar symptoms- self dx as catamenial epilepsy- but that is menopausal. Would advise getting your hormone levels checked. My issues were totally exacerbated by sleep deprivation & I am now on a low dose of Keppra which is working. If not for a recent concussion I would not need to be here on this forum, but glad I can corroborate how debilitating those episodes can be. It is a self-perpetuating cycle which causes so much anxiety. Hope you can find someone familiar with the symptoms.
Good luck,
Grace
