None whatsoever. Literally was a waste of time. Only useful thing was being told it definitely sounds like seizures and that they are scheduling an mri.

I am so sorry!
I pray that the MRI shows something for your sake and that you find answers soon~!

So tonight I had two pretty bad "seizures" on the couch according to my wife and family that was over.
Im feeling ok now, but my wife questioned me on something. Shes noticed ive been taking Aleve for the past few months. Now, call me crazy, and maybe its nothing, but my taking of aleve seems, timeline wise, to correlate with the noticing of these seizures. Could she be onto something? Im going to stop taking the aleve immediately and see if it helps. Just one kicker, aleve seems to be the ONLY over the counter medicine that helps the headaches. Anyone ever heard of this before?! |

It can be a blood thinner.. I wonder if that has any issues.... I wonder if it would change if you took with food?

Hmmm. I always take it with food. Like I said though, not sure if this is purely coincidence though.

I dont know, maybe im grasping at straws for the cause of this. Im still awaiting orders for an MRI. But I just want these to stop, as they seem to progressively get worse as time goes on. Before they were just small tremor like things, now my wife, and others who have witnessed them, say it starts off as one arm or leg shaking, then my whole body tightens up, veins start bulging, and I convulse pretty bad for about a minute. After words I get extremely tired, out of breathe, and my headache and head pressure double, but im usually fine in a few minutes.
Im going to stop taking aleve and see if that helps. Im almost wondering if what you say about the Aleve acting like a blood thinner, could there be a small bleed that happened after the day 1 ct scan? Maybe that could explain the pressure, the leakage I had in my ears and nose, and that pounding/pulsating feeling in the back of my head anytime my blood pressure (which I already have hypertension) rises. Probably grasping at straws, but since my Dr is no help, I sort of need to figure this out on my own I think. |

Well like I said I dont know if its Aleve or not. Yesterday I took it by accident (thought I was geabbing tylenol) and took two. Then about 3 hours later I had another "seizure." Coincidence? Maybe. I dont know, but my wife hid the aleve just to be safe.
The thing that scares me now though is before I used to get a warning sign one was coming, these past few times im not. They are so strange too. Its almost like I can feel my brain telling my body to do it, but I cannot stop it. Sounds weird I guess, but just something ive noticed in some of them. Some I remember and im aware of, others I have no clue about. The people that have witnessed them have said they seem to be getting worse each time though. |

Well I guess we can count the Aleve being the cause of it out. Bah humbug.
