Well i am not where to start at really but here it goes.I had posted recently under living with lupus of an expierence i had while driving about 3 weeks ago.I ended up in the emergency room that day after going into what they are sure was a seizure but did not know why so they did these three test and i got them back today the last one from the nurse when she called to tell me what the EEG came back as.She said that the eeg came back in the normal range but that it does not mean i did not have a seizure.Meaning i might have but the eeg does not always show that after the fact.The other two came back in normal range also but what the heck did i happen to me out of the blue to have a siezure.

I guess what i really want to know is should i try to investigate this further with maybe a neuroligist or just wait and see if it ever happens again.Just looking for some advice to hopefully put my mind at ease.Thanks for being there for me.

Thanks to everyone

Well lily my rhueme i emailed her about what happened and she felt i should pursue it befroe the EEG i had done at the hospital.Then when i emailed her to let her know how things wernt and how i was feeling about the reulst not helping me to feel to much better at the time she said she was vert glad that it did not show anything and it was normal all the test.I just did not think that the ibs could be that bad it could cause a siezure ,but it might of been that bad i guess.I have had trouble even worse then this with it but i also had been very stressed that morning with my mil passing away sunddenly and trying to move my fil out and us into his place and getting the old place cleaned out.I.think after eading some post her that i did maybe just way over did it
I guess the thing i cannot understand and maybe i will talk to my go about it is that my blood preasure went way down and my face before everything was a real bright red and so overly warm it was unbearable and my eyes were still red like 3 hours later.Oh well i will email my rheume and see what she thinks about it.Well thanks for everything really.It sure dose make me feel much better just having so many people take time to post and im sure glad for everyone that makes it possible for us to have such a caring place to go to.

Thanks for all the wonderful post from everyone and yes i am at a little more ease now that things have come through the way they did with the test but yes i never know if it will happen again and i will eventually stop thinking about it so much im sure.

Wow Lily you would be amazed how many of those symtoms i do have really.I had been told the wieght gain was one of the things that go along with it.I look like i am pregnant really with as beloated feeling i have always no matter wether i eat or not and well the brain what brain.The brain is so bad for the last year way more then ever.My hands and wrist have been so swoolen grrrrrr and the doctor never explained any of it togrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:mad:

I have had a endroconoigist as the doctor taken care of the thyroid but now he wants my family doctor to take care of the bllod work which really does not make sense since the family doctor sent me to him because he does not know much about the thyroid.I am so frustrated with doctors anymore i could scream and do not want to deal with them anymore.Sorry for the venting but been very stressful time lately i guess.Thank lily for everything .
