Help?! Am I having seizures?!


Question: Help?! Am I having seizures?
I am 20 years old, female, and I have been having these "episodes" since I was a little kid. I have a rush of deja vu, I can almost tell what people are going to say, I get a sense of unrest, a little "out of it" type feeling. The deja vu I get can be memories from old dreams +the present reality. I also tend to either have to vomit, or well use the bathroom if you know what I mean afterwards, but not usually. Headaches can accompany these episodes too. I have had them in my sleep, I can't remember anything afterwards, and it is Feb 18th right now, and I have already had 9 of these episodes this month. I have had up to four some days. I don't know when these "episodes" will occur they just happen, and last briefly (I have no sense of time during these things either). I have been in class and had one, and learned that I can't really write during one either.I typically go to sleep after I have one. I can't stop them, the deja vu just comes at me like uncontrolled forced thoughts. One of my friends has been around me during one, and she said I started shaking very lightly, and didn't really talk when I had one of these things.

I have been to a neurologist, prescribed medicine (but I have side-effects from it). My doctor just thinks these things are migraines, and she calls these complex episodes "headaches". I have mentioned numerous times that I can have multiple in less than a 12 hr period, and they don't last long.
I have also had an EEG and MRI done, both came back normal as I expected because I didn't have an episode during either one of them.

Can anyone offer any information or anything?

THANKS!

sounds like you hav a lot of energy. i get a mini seizure twitch istantly if i sit perfectly stil. sounds like you need to incorporate exercise into your life. run untill you ar exhausted. drugs havn't been proven to help anything. ask yourself ar you being overburdended with school work and homework.



your having simple partial seizures I used to get these from ecstacy use, the partial seizure usually includes the de ja vu sensation, seeing squiggly flashing lights, and depersonalization. and you might be having sleep paralysis episodes in your sleep not seizures.



It does rather sound like a type of epilepsy but I'm not a doctor. Can you see a different doc?
