@cindypekarek,
Hi, I really don't understand what you mean by Oxygen is what you are lacking. The first time I had a seizure I was at a college graduation ceremony which are as exciting as watching paint dry, been their in my job, after the ceremony the chick wanted to go to the banquet in the school cafeteria. The place was worse than a Full Metal Jacket Heavy Metal so-called music concert. I knew something was wrong as I started seeing bright colored ping pong balls in my head. I got up to get some air and away from the noise, my wife followed me out and I went down. I woke in an ER and that was that except for the bill. I've had several since, and I think they are stress related. Doctors dismiss my theory as if I had no idea what happened.

The last one happened in mid Feb, and the doctor prescribed Lyrica at 100 mg, three times a day.

There was also a spinal thing which was like a cramping and would strike every several seconds. I would lose control of my knees and would fall if I attempted to walk more than a few steps. The sensation was like an electric shock which kept me awake for over 48 hours sitting in my chair without being able to close my eyes for more than 3 seconds, I counted. Anyway I finally realized I needed help and after I got in the ambulance I went out and woke up in the ER again.
Thanks for any ideas. I'm 67 years old and really don't need this.

Sorry to hear about your situation Mark. The first thing I’d say is to take what a doctor says regarding why you are having or not having seizures with a grain of sand. There are so many seizures and syndromes virtually anything is possible. Those ping pong balls must have been an aura. I have a friend in England and when he hears music he has a seizure. Since seizures can be caused by so many different things, maybe noise is a trigger for you. Stress is a very common trigger. Maybe you were tired, it doesn’t take much. Maybe a light flashed or flickered. I have had Epilepsy for 51 years and have had over 13,000 Absance, Focal, both Simple & Complex, Tonic Clonic & Status Epileptics. I Mostly have TC’s. I hope you get some control soon. Just don’t hold you breath for an accurate answer as to why.

@jakedduck1, 13,000 of these things??? I'm complaining because I've had about six, maybe more, I think I'm close.

"don’t hold your breath for an accurate answer" When I was in the ambulance and the paramedic was doing her testing and whatever I was about half conscious when she yelled, "Holy crap man are you trying to kill yourself?" I looked at her and said, "No". Then she told the driver to go faster, "We gotta get there quick." Still chills me but when I asked a nurse what she meant he replied, "Your vitals look good and you're stable." Maybe I'll find out April 18 as I've an appointment with the ER doc.

I'm trying to get strong again but still feel pretty weak from everything going bad in Feb. This is April?

Hoping you have the 13,000 problem under control because it's a freaky experience to me. Guess I'm learning something in all this so I'll keep an open mind.
