Ummm .. I hope you are feeling better Jake???? That is a yukky feeling. Pretty simple… But could you be dehydrated??? I know you will see the doc if you don't start feeling better??? Right??? Jake, please Keep us posted. Thank you Casey.

Jake do you need some help, ie.. 911?

@caseybach
Hello Casey,
No I’m not dehydrated because I donate platelets and plasma tomorrow so three days before that I have to drink a lot of fluids so I’ve been pushing fluids big time awful as they are. if I remember correctly this is similar to what I had a while back and I stop by the neurologist and he said it was focal seizures so I’m just curious if that’s what this is to however this is lasting a lot longer. I think it’s been about three hours now and that’s a very long time for I see you should’ve last. Normal seizures don’t last that long that’s why I’m wondering if it’s status. The scary part is that nonconvulsive status can last months. So I hope it’s not that.
Take care, I appreciate you writing.
Jake

I’m not quite sure what to do since I live alone and I have a history of convulsive status epilepticus I just hope this doesn’t turn in to that since it’s a dangerous medical emergency. I think I’ll call my brother and have him call me every so often just to make sure I am conscious.
Jake

Jake, I think calling you brother is a positive step but I think you should call 911 or have your brother drive you to the emergency room.

You are a describing a change in symptoms and this should be taken seriously.

Jake- Will you please let us know what you decide to do?

So tough!!! But that's a good idea to make your.brother aware. Lifting you up tonight, again… Please keep us updated.

@erikas
I’m taking it serious all right but I think it might be a little early to call 911. I called a friend of mine and she’s going to come and spend the night with me so that makes me feel a lot better. at least she can check on me every so often and make sure I didn’t go into convulsive status if this is indeed a seizure.
Thank you guys for being there that means a lot,
Jake

Jake, I just appreciate you, you are super knowledgeable & you have a huge heart. Would hate to see you get into trouble. Thank you Casey.

@caseybach
Super knowledgeable? Thanks I needed a laugh.
My friend is here now and I told her to call 911 if I start to convulse just in case it’s Status.
It's been going on for almost 5 hours now.
Jake

@caseybach
My blood pressure and heart rate have been up for quite a while which could indicate seizure activity but so could many other things. I guess I need to wise up and stop trying to diagnose myself.
Jake

@jakedduck1 I'm happy to hear that you had a friend monitor you.

I see that your blood pressure is up.

What are you next steps?

I hope you got some sleep. It's a new day 😊. Please go see what the doc. has to say??? I know sometimes those visits are a waist of time & money. But….you really don't know what is going on & that is a scary position to be in & it does not seem like it is going away??? Mom 😉😉😉

@erikas
My night was uneventful other than some nausea and increased heart rate and blood pressure and this morning the light headedness seems to be better but can't walk without a walker and even then I occasionally take a tumble.
Now I am wondering if it may be an Ataxia of some sort. If so it's different from the Ataxia I was hospitalized for some years ago.
Jake

@caseybach
Oh good grief Mom. Ok I'll call her. It will probably be a waste of time though. She probably won’t know much more about it than I do, well she might know a little more, maybe.
Take care,
Jake

Thank you 😊
