I actually did get checked out by a series of doctors at Mount Sinai (After months of nightmare with the VA) who did a battery of tests including an ambulatory EEG, CT scan, MRI, etc. and came back with: “Basically your brain looks perfect so this is confusing.”

This was after two severe tonic colic seizures, which put me in the hospital with a half bitten tongue and dislocated shoulders.

The initial thinking was epilepsy, but after the ambulatory EEG, and absolutely no history of epilepsy or anything of approaching epilepsy, she’s basically said “everything looks healthy, I have no clue what’s going on, so call me if you feel like you’re dying again.”



I'd start with first, are you sleeping 6+ hours every night, and then go from there. The brain seems to get pushed into fits by sleep deprivation.


I’m good now.

It’s been 8 months since any issues and I’m healthier than I’ve ever been - considering thatI was a collegiate athlete 20 years ago that’s not nothing
