Hey all, a friend and I were talking about our fibromyalgia and other health concerns and something strange came up. While we both plan to speak to our docs about this I was hoping to get some thoughts first so our docs don't think we are both Hyperchondriacs.
So the episodes are pretty similar, they start with a feeling of the brain not working. Usually this happens midactivity especially talking/conversing, but has also happened to me while playing games. Then there is like a feeling of distance but still being in your body and not being able to function the only thing you feel is the blood moving in your brain and feeling kind of like jelly. We are conscious during these episodes but cannot function. Then it kind of feels like the brain is pulsating or "flipping." They last about 20 seconds sometimes or a minute others depending on the level of activity we are engaging in. There is a quick recovery afterwards and no or almost no warning leading up to them.
Do these sound like seizure episodes or just migraines or something entirely different? From what I've read they sound like they could be any of the three but before I start worrying about them I just want to see what others think
