Good Day all,
I dont know if anyone else has this symptom; but, my problems started around the mid 70's when I found I was falling asleep whenever the temps would get over 90 degrees. I am a roofer and my partners would find me sound asleep laying in a valley on a roof or on some stacked material. Now, I think I was actually having some sort of seizure, but at that time we just figured it waws from the heat. I did have two rather serious head traumas before that time. Around '95 still having the same seizure like occurances, I was driving home from a job in Lompoc, which is about a 4 hr drive to my house in the Bay Area. I would drive about two 10 mins or so and have to pull over and go to sleep. I did this for 9 hours and when I got close to a Kaiser Hospital, my wife met me and I went through the emergency room ordeal. Nothin was found, the Dr. told me to sleep more and ave me motrin for the pain I developed in the back of my head. More treatment and visits to my primary dr. and neurologists and my diogonis was epilopsy. They did find a cyst in the poserior fossia, but told me that could not be causing my problems as "THEY NEVER DO"..So I have been treated for Epilopsy since that time..Also I have been told since my seizues do not show up on eeg's that I have imaginagy or fake seizures, which earned me a trip to the Physiciatric clinic, where I was given a clean bill of health. So now with all the other symptoms that I now have, tremors, pain in head, left side numb at times, legs not supporting me at times, a buzzing in my thigh that goes down to my feet...blurrred vision, hearing loss, loss of short term memory and many more strange and unconnected symptoms; my doctors ell me either I am really sick or a pretty good liar...Not once when I bring up the cyst, which they found in '95 will they address the issue of wether or not the cyst may be the causation of my problems. I tell you all this to see if I am out of line here or am I in line with what most of you are experiencing....I now am getting my own second opinion from, Duke, Barrows and Skull Base Inst...and getting an attorney to sue Kaiser....Oh yeah, one Doctor told me I was crazy....ya gotta love that...
