Thanks so much for the welcome, Abbie. Thank you also for the links.

I found my way over to posting a thread in the Epilepsy/Seizure Forum, and via the "similar posts" listing underneath the thread I put in I found a post in the Head/Brain Injury forum where someone described my symptoms exactly! However, they haven't posted in a while so, kind of a bummer. I was amazed to find her post though so I'm still happy even if she's no longer visiting the site as I know I'm not the only one in the world to have felt like this! LOL

It's one more thing falling into place (no pun intended) that is more and more pointing to some kind of damage 10 years ago, especially. I had a spell one day that my doctors thought was due to extreme stress and dehydration. This morning as I've been obsessing on all of this something clicked - I was watching a movie with my daughters. I remember that after that day while I recuperated (for about 5 weeks) I had an exaggerated/inexplicable aversion to that particular movie. It would make sense that due to the stress, insomnia, and dehydration I was more susceptible to having a seizure triggered and something in the movie was the straw that broke the camel's back...

Sorry to ramble... more things are making sense to me and fitting together pretty simply now that I have more of a solid set of symptoms to view other random problems as fitting together with it. I'm happy I found this site.

Thanks everyone!

Take care,
Michelle
