I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jinna I am a 30 yo. married stay at home mother of 3. I am coming here because a few weeks ago while riding on the back of my husbands motorcycle which I have done many times, I began to have what appeared to be a seziure, I started Jerking back un controllably but did not lose consiousness & could still respond & everything.We were going down the interstate...we were going about 65 mph. & it was bright out & I forgot to bring my sun glasses. I am not sure if the conditions brought on this seziure. After this happened my husband pulled to the side of the rode & then we got of the interstate & went back home & I was fine after we got off the interstate, but I still felt an anxious feeling in my chest and stomach I felt numb & tingly. I have been diagnosed with anxiety shortly before the incident & get panick attacks and I was given ativan for that, which I have only taken a couple times. Another thing I have is photosensitvity, ever since I was young, while I was riding in a car and there was sunlight shining through trees & we passed by them I would twitch from the irregular light patterens, it was just a brief twitch and I would only twitch maybe once or twice depending on the condition & felt normal afterwards, & I still get the same thing today, what I experienced on the motorcycle seemed similar but it was a continuous jerking rather then a brief twitch, also after the incident I have been feeling more nervouse & dizzy, & feel like I am going to faint at times, almost like I am not getting enough oxygen to my brain. I am not sure if all of these things are realted, but I am on here to try and hopefully get some answers & hope to find people on here that can relate. I am schedualed to go to the Neurologist Oct. 15th so I am hoping to get more answers then. I also forgot to mention I did go to the hospital after the incident & had a catscan & everything came back normal & the Dr said it seemed I had an A typical seziure & needed to see an Neurologist for further evaluation, so thats my story.... I hope to find some answers through meeting you all & I look foward to hearing about all of you.

Hi there Jinna:

Welcome to our little family (or should I say BIG family?) here at Neurotalks.

We are very friendly and I'm sure someone will pop along and help you with the information that you should need.

I hope all goes well with your visit with the Neurologist.

Take care,

Melody

It sounds pretty scary to be on the back of a motorcycle and have a seizure! Especially at 65 mph! I hope you stay off there until you get some feedback from your Neurologist.

I would like to welcome you to the NeuroTalk group and I'm sure you will find some help here. Everyone is very helpful and loving.

Good luck and we hope to hear how it turns out.
Take care, and keep your feet on the ground until you know what's happening!

No I deffinitely do not plan on being on a motorcycle again until next yr.
