What is it now?

I swear....everyday I wake up something else is wrong with me.
I've been missing for a month if you all haven't noticed....It's because during the first week of July, I woke up one day with a medical condition that is changing my life.
You probably want to know what it is...well so do I.
I was sitting behind my computer watching Korean dramas and then all of the sudden my entire body lunged forward. At first I thought it was nothing, just a random spasm or something. Then it happened again and I got terrified. I got up to get some water from the kitchen and on my way back, my body lunged itself onto the floor. My roommate called 911 and this what I've been battling ever since. I have trouble speaking, reading, writing, walking and sleeping, driving and cooking and pretty much anything that requires motor skills. My face spasms and it hurts very badly. My face is the only place that hurts when it happens though. They diagnosed me with "Pre-Seizure Complex" at first and put me on anti-seizure medication called "depakote". That didn't work so they took me off of it and I've been going through various neurological testings. Today I had an EEG test. The test was exhausting and depressing. My body went through severe tremors during the flashing light phases of the test and the hyperventilation phase. This F*cking sucks. lol I haven't really been out in public too much. This week was my first day back at work in a month and everyone keeps coming up to me asking if I'm okay and offering me things. Normally that would be fine, but I try to mitigate the situation by not making a big deal out of it. When people stare and come up to me it tells me that this is actually serious. I'm seeing a neurologist regularly who's working on my case, I hope they figure something out soon....

This is TERRIBLE news! :(:(:( HUGS to you!! My heart is right with you--I know how it feels to be overcome with a debilitating neurological illness at a young age....and then to flounder without answers. I pray they find something SOON. (I waited 2 years in fear and confusion) If you need an ear you know I\'m here for you!
