New here. Have history of brain lesions. Also Myasthenia Gravis. I am 72 and struggling physically in a new home. I am sure it sounds odd that when this scary thing happened to me a week ago I didn’t go to ER but I really thought that could make me worse. It was so fast! First it actually felt like my brain flopped or flipped from normal position. I had a wave of warm and nausea came and I dry vomited forcefully. I ended up drenched with sweat and pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to walk. I hoped and hoped nothing worse would happen. My thinking had been out of normal for a couple weeks but I WAS diagnosed as dehydrated 3-19 and given fluids with my Solumedrol I received for Myasthenia. I haven’t been doing as well in my new place. This incident has left me shaken. Thanks for listening. Sculptor 44

I would like to add clarification. My grown Daughter has Epilepsy that took challenging path. She had her first Grand Mal around pregnancy. Medication was started then. I live in Iowa. I have a neurologist but it has been for Myasthenia issues. She can’t read bodies and is limited. I went to Mayo Clinic and I always learned more. When my daughter suddenly became worse it took a trip to Mayo to get more info and stabilized. Sculptor 44
