so this morning was something a little different... unsettling and downright alarming.

I was in bed, sleeping as normal as could be, when sometime around sunrise, I ended up having two of some kind of seizure, within minutes of each other.

One of my roommates who witnessed the event called 911, a few minutes later some medical guys showed up and assessed my situation, then recommended I check into the hospital and get examined ASAP. The roomie drove me to the ER to get checked out, which after a CT scan and blood/urine samples, was inconclusive as to the cause, other than it's not caused by some sort of brain tumor.

The Dr. there referred me to a neurologist to get some further testing done, informing me that until I'm cleared by the Neurologist not only should I not drive, but that were I to do so I would be violating the law. This means no work for the next week, as driving is an integral part of getting stuff done.

Upon reflection, I can only be happy that the seizures hit me while I was sleeping, rather than some time driving down the road, or perhaps soloing on some of the local routes as I have a tendency to do

Oh yeah, and somewhere in there during the seizures I bit the fuck outta my tounge... it hurts like a BITCH!

Damn man, that sucks.

Do some research, and get multiple second opinions.
I had a friend who was having some sort of siezures. Multiple neuro exams, doc appointments, money, time... no explanation. Lost his license for months. Not to mention the emotional stress.

His G.P. finally decided to do some routine bloodwork. Turned out he was just mildly diabetic and simply had to monitor his nutritional intake. Siezures went away, he's been fine ever since.

Eep!
Get to the bottom of that, fast. Make sure they recheck the blood tests.
It would suck to be out of driving and epic climbing for any length of time due to some overlooking on a doctors part.

Being ahead of the times was so two years ago. Being behind the times will soon be the new rage. So I'm ahead of the times being behind the times. It's the new. So stick that in your paradoxical pipe and smoke it.

20 pages behind and i walk in with the PT! Take that you whore turds!

Corn fed huskers up there on the plains of Canadia.

Nope. Just stating my unquenchable desire to matriculate in your pool.

Have you gotten any notice that you're no allowed to drive? I'm not sure if verbal commands are enough. Not that its a good idea to drive right now regardless.

I hope you didn't get the paperwork to tell you you can't drive. I went though all that crap, it still took months after seeing the neurologist to have all the paperwork go through and get my license back. It sucked.
