1, 2, 3, 4, Seizures

From WebMD regarding Absence Seizures, the type I have:

How Can I Prevent Absence Seizures?
Currently there is no way to prevent absence seizures because most cases have no known cause.

That would be the exact definition for my situation.

I had the worst seizure Wednesday night. I called a friend as soon as it began. She dialed 911 immediately. They were there to witness what was going on. By the time they got there I was responsive but unable to form words. I was rushed to the hospital and I shook all over but not given any medication.

Before I reached the hospital, I went into an absence seizure. I could hear some of what was going on around me but could only respond by blinking or a mild hand squeeze. I was hooked up to an IV, given Ativan (A seizure medication) then after an hour and fifteen minutes, it was like I snapped out of it. I sat up, looked at all the tubes hooked up to me and asked my friend what happened and what was I doing here.

She filled me in. The doctor came in, decided to admit me so off to a room I went. The next morning I complained of feeling shaky inside then had another seizure. Nurses were shaking me trying to prevent the absence seizure but I could feel my eyes becoming fixated. They immediately called the neurologist who said to give me Ativan. Once I was back to "normal" they told me I was being moved to ICU so they could monitor me better.

During that same day, the EEG they ran caused another seizure but didn't show an epileptic seizure. I already knew I didn't have those.

I ended up having another seizure (3 in one day) but that one I don't remember.

The next day I had a brain MRI (I've had lots of those), an EKG and an Echo cardiogram to check my heart. All's good.

Next step is to see a Neurologist specialist downtown.

I picked out this song from Michael Jackson because if you listen to the words, like some of his music, I believe you hear how lonely he was and how close he wanted to feel to God. That's in the second song.
