Thank you all so much for the helpful advice -- theres a lot of it. its both a HUGE RELEIF and really scary to be told that my fears are ligitimate.
i feel pretty terrible right now, not up to writing much more..my thoughts are a bit clouded, i apolagize this isnt a very thoughtful post
bimini- what you described (the partial seizures?) sound an awful lot like whats been happening to me... You have several every day?! that sounds awful.
what makes me doubt that whats happening to me are partial seizures is that my episodes? have been happening more frequently since starting Lamictal a week and a half ago- (tho im still at only 25 mg a day...) and the bouts of confusion feel more intense.
and if this is MS?! dear God. i dont even know.
since i was little i've always been a little preoccupied with the fear that someday i'd become psychotic. like mother like daughter.
but now that these things are actually happening, it seems to be becoming reality..and i cant really cope with this.
the Lamictal has put a stop to the rapid mood cycling i was experiencing a couple weeks ago.my anxiety has definatly gotten worse since then, but i attribute that to the increase in bizzare perceptions.
banga, phillipa, maxime, midnightblue, racer, scatterbrain, bimini, thanks for your helpful advice, it means a lot. im really out of it right now, and will have to re-read this thread in the morning
thanks guys, have a good night
