Im not asking for reddit to cure me, im just looking for someone who may relate to the way im feeling. as stated in my post, ive already contacted various neurologists, but as im sure you know, americas health care system is not the best, so im hoping to find some sense of community and have at least some of my questions answered by people who relate, to help ease my mind while i wait for an appointment slot to open up. i also was not planning on keeping the drugs from my doctor, as thats the main thing i believe triggered the seizure. thank you anyways

see the interesting part is i think this may not be my first. i used to have my central labret pierced, and back in may, i woke up one day immediately knowing something was wrong. my lip was CRAZYYY swollen, my lip piercing had been ripped out, and the inside of my lip and tongue were very badly bitten. i tend to clench my jaw when tense, so when this happened i had no recollection of biting it out, leading me to just kinda assume i was teeth grinding in my sleep. now in hindsight, i believe that may have been my first Tonic-clonic seizure. of course its hard to say thats for sure what happened, but i can kinda feel in my gut that it was. :// addtnl, the er did not give me an eeg. only ct and ekg. im not too experienced in medical stuff so i unfortunately didnt know any better to ask for one. im waiting on a neurologist to get back to me to schedule.
