no high blood pressure here. if anything it's low...

i think it was the heat. i was out for about an hour, my feet were swollen and i was exhausted and i fell asleep.

now i have this new heartburn thing developing...

ugh

    I was diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy a couple of days ago. Apparently the Deja vu and nausea episodes I have been having for the last 7 years or so are actually seizures. Thankfully, because I have only ever had focal aware seizures I am allowed to keep my licence. However I am struggling to come to terms with the diagnosis. It doesn't really seem real.
