Hi everyone,

I was at a church event on Monday, and one of the kids in the youth group pulled a chair out while I was going to sit down as a joke. I landed on my tailbone and the impact shot all the way up through my neck. After I landed I don't remember anything until I woke up in the ambulance, I'm told 45 minutes later.

I was followed around by a neurologist the entire time I was in the ER- weird right!?!?!? He even accompanied me up to CT and MRI and back down to my bay. My husband filled him into my situation and he seemed very interested in the case. All my scans were clear. My EEG was clear, and everything came up normal.

I was cleared by cardio, ortho, and general med, and neuro stayed with me. It was so bizarre, but of course i'm not complaining. He suggested that I had a seizure when I hit the ground and the impact could have caused it. He thinks my initial concussion could have caused a permanent or temporary case of epilepsy.

They are going to admit me for a seizure study that will last anywhere between 24 hours to 4 days. I will be on a constant EEG monitor for that time with a camera on me.

Neuro thinks this is another symptom of my PCS, but may account for my hand twitching, my staring episodes, and this recent being "out" for 45 min. If this is the case, maybe there is some medication or procedure that could fix this! Wouldn't that be nice?

I'm grateful that I have learned some new and important information about my PCS. If this episode was necessary to get some medical answers, I'll take it. The doctors are also pretty confident that this was not a setback for me either, which is a tremendous blessing!

I am also having some episodes of tachycardia that they saw on the telemetry monitors while I was in for these past 5 days. I am going for a tilt table test on Tuesday morning before I see my neuro to schedule the seizure study.

I'll keep you guys posted! I don't know why I'm excited, I guess figuring out anything is exciting....
