We were in her office for nearly 2 hours. She was amazed that I have gone so long with uncontrolled migraines and this. I am now taken zonagran? I really hope that this is going to help me.
Not too keen on the shot thing but I do know that this does help. Kelli, I'm so happy you found meds that help and your Neuro sounds like a definite keeper! I know being able to talk to her and finding she listened took a load off right then. Keep us posted,ok? Kelli, Please keep us posted. I am interested about those migraine meds. I take the Zonegran at night, I think it is working. I know about having to take shots, kind of a drag, but maybe you wont have to take them for too long.
Gretchen, Was I supposed to put a filter over my nose before I put my nose in the coffee can and deeply inhaled? Seriously though, I was smelling the burning rubber smell today and finally I remembered what you had said about the coffee grounds, tried it and the smell wasn't near as pronounced as it had been.
Thanks for the info!!! I don't necessarily smell things but after a seizure my senses do get crossed and things feel different. I always pet the dog for an hour or so after because it feels different, my hair feels different, and I smoke, and I know As for smells, no.
Good grief where do you live? Any good rental possibilities close? I'm about to shove out of this place. It's like shoving cattle through a chute but I don't happen to want to go through some of the chutes. IOW One size or treatment fits all? I've lived here since July? I was outta there. Whyz come? But Doctor - I don't know if that fits! What happened to Mayberry RFD?
I was positively amazed. I swear -no side effects! I wasn't staggery, sleepy, memory loopy - as on narcotics AND they worked! I was a little afraid to go home and loose those precious injections. We had to discuss this "issue". I was prescribed ONE Toradol injection a day?
I was very dubious about ONE when I'd been getting them every 8 hours. Go figure. I would still be in it for injections. Trade hips every other day if you're getting them daily - IOW rotate sites. Sometimes the injection can rip the stomach too, not often. An RN friend of mine taught my husband how to give me my nightly Toradol injections which I got for 30 days after I was discharged with meningitis and marked the triangle area on my hip in a water proof marker where he should inject.
My husband said THE most quotable thing though about injecting me and none of us will ever let him live it down. My meningitis? Long forgotten. His remark made in nervousness? Shall always be remembered. He was nervous about injecting me.
I used to give shots to all our hogs when we were running pigs! But it was really hard with my fat butt sticking up in the air every night and this vision of - the hogs. SO glad you had such a good appointment! Your post was the shining moment for my day! GretchenPS So wish me well tomorrow. I'm going to a NEW doctor. Firing No. I think I'm having a failure of communication? OK talk about visual speakers. Putting pictures in our heads!
LOLI will never feel the same about getting a shot in my hip again. Well at least you wern't called a lil Hefer. Guys, if you ever say that to a woman, putting cute in front of it doesn't help, you still deserve what you get in return.
No, smells are normal for people who have TLE. There are 4 or 5 kinds of auras, and they all present differently. I smell, too. I smell rotten urine, or I get that metallic taste in my mouth. I have been having that since 95 at least--the taste thing. The smell thing has only been in the last 5 years. People can se things, hear things, feel things, etc. They have deja vu, Jemais vu, entre vu, seeing things distort like move further wawy, or g et closer, or see a body part moprh right bfore your eyes.
The things people can see are whole picutres taht aren;t there--scenes, groups of people. The things that they can hear include bells clanging and get louder, music that isn;t there, people talking or people's voices, buzing, humming, etc.
The list goes on. Oh gosh Spitz - I'm so tickled I posted that about the coffee grounds then. You made my day! Thanks for letting me know that helped. Really made me feel happy. I forgo the filter - too desperate for relief to look for one! My current odiferous unpleasantry is a very strong smell of a root cellar but I call it "basement" but as a child I was frequently in and out of a root cellar that was damp and always had strong odors.
When I wail that? Others look at us like I SMELL - basement and it has deep meaning for me because for some reason I can have a hearing hallucination and it's only that, stops there - but unnerving, but a smell hallucination?
I'm very likely heading south very quickly. The most unpleasant olfactory hallucination I've had so far although burning chicken feathers runs a real close second. I have asthma? I always have this creepy feeling that the moldy, dusty smell is going to crank my asthma up. I'm suggestive I guess I guess? Gretchen, I have asthma too. Don't ya just love the aura-seizure-come out of seizure-find your gasping for air cycle? Do you have a hand-held nebulizer? If not, please get one.
The people around me vanished and I found myself lying on a tartan picnic blanket amid a field of high golden wheat. The memory was rich and detailed. I could hear the sway of the wheat ears as a gentle breeze brushed through them. I felt warm sunlight on the back of my neck and watched as birds wheeled and floated above me.
It was a pleasant and extremely vivid recollection. The problem was that it never actually happened. We view our memories as sacred. One of the most fundamental doctrines of Western philosophy was established by Aristotle. He saw a newborn baby as a kind of empty ledger, one that is gradually filled as the child grows and accumulates knowledge and experience.
Jingles from old television adverts, the name of the second-to-last prime minister, the punchline to a joke: memories are the constituent parts of individual identities. After years of suffering alone, docile Indian techies are now coming together to fight layoffs. Most of the time memory systems run quietly in the background as we go about the business of everyday life.
We take their efficiency for granted. Until, that is, they fail. For the past five years I have been suffering epileptic seizures resulting from the growth and eventual removal of a lemon-sized tumor from the right-hand side of my brain. Before my diagnosis I appeared fit and healthy: I was in my mids and displayed absolutely no symptoms. Until, that is, the afternoon that I woke up on the kitchen floor with two black eyes after suffering my first recorded seizure. Seizures, or fits, occur after an unanticipated electrical discharge in the brain.
The nature of this aura differs greatly from patient to patient. Some people experience synaesthesia, extreme euphoria and even orgasm at the onset of a seizure.
By far the most significant trait of my aura is the striking sense of having lived through that precise moment before at some point in the past — even though I never have. During my most intense seizures, and for a week or so afterwards, this feeling of precognition becomes so pervasive that I routinely struggle to discern the difference between lived events and dreams, between memories, hallucinations and the products of my imagination.
Now it occurs up to ten times a day. Now it occurs with varying degrees of magnitude up to ten times a day, whether as part of a seizure or not. I can find no pattern to explain when or why these episodes manifest themselves, only that they usually last for the length of a pulse before vanishing.
Many of the estimated 50 million people in the world with epilepsy experience long-term memory decline and psychiatric problems. For the majority, it is dismissed as a curiosity or a mildly interesting cognitive illusion. One patient claimed that he had given up watching television or reading the newspaper because he knew what was about to happen. AKP claimed that he had given up watching television or reading the newspaper because he knew what was about to happen.
On being introduced to Moulin for the first time, the man even claimed to be able to give specific details of occasions that they had met before. AKP did retain some self-awareness. I have a memory problem. On that day in the park, my vision of the picnic blanket and the wheat field disappeared when a paramedic began to shake my shoulder.
Despite the fact that my memories had been hallucinations, they still felt as valid as any truly autobiographical memory. These memories were hard for her to overcome because she had to spend a long time trying to work out whether something had happened. The job that they faced, then, was one of trying to catch lightning in a bottle.
In , he wrote to a French philosophy journal to describe his experience of arriving in a new city but feeling as though he had visited it before. He suggested that it was caused by a sort of mental echo or ripple: that his new experience simply recalled a memory that had previously been forgotten.
The hippocampus is a beautiful looking thing. LeBron and AD are studs. Russ will eventually figure it out - maybe tonight. But below those three, while there is talent there is also opportunity for Memphis to score and run. The Grizzlies have the younger legs, and while they may not be more fresh after playing the night before they surely are more able to recover more quickly at this stage.
Perhaps the reserves will be inspired to make up for their lackluster showing last night as well. One of the more noticeable early differences in the Grizzlies offense without Jonas Valanciunas and, to be fair, without Dillon Brooks for now has been the decrease in ball-stopping isolation sets and an increase in cutting off the ball to the rim. However, with his exit there is no longer a need to feed the post to ensure Jonas is involved in his most effective manner.
Because of that, and because of his replacement Steven Adams doing a lot of what Jonas does well as a screener almost as well as Jonas, the offense is much more mobile and dependent on that movement to keep them afloat.
To this point, so far it is having some success. The Cavaliers struggled mightily defending the Grizzlies, and against the Clippers and their higher level of competition they still made good decisions and found one another at and around the bucket. That should continue to happen - as long as the Memphis Grizzlies hope to remain competitive on this road trip.
