Ya know, I don't think that all of this zoning out is MS or seizure related. I can remember short periods of zoning out, as a kid. I see my Grandkids go into translike states, when watching something on TV.

I had short periods of, living in my own little private world and not hearing anything around me, at the time.

Soooo, either I've always been loopy or some of this "zoning out" is not a seizure, but perfectly natural!!!

Maybe it's just our body's way of saying "I need a break!".

I think you're probably right Sally - ms is likely not the culprit, sometimes we just get overloaded iwth 'life' and our preoccupation with everyday things causes everyone to run on autopilot from time to time.

Mind you, the 'daydream' thing is happening a lot more lately. Maybe life is getting busier and we are getting slower and that's why it is noticeable.

That's a good explanation, Lynn. I think I'll use your dx. It's a whole lot cheaper than an EEG!
