Hi ppl New development here the other day; a total black-out.
Stupidly, the night before id risked some dark chocolate which is very clearly a migraine -> seizure state trigger for me. [High copper food?] Im starting to experience clear differences in reactions to certain things. Sulphur, Selenium and Copper [supplements / foods] are the main culprits, and have their own specific 'sensations'.
Anyway, the morning in question i was groggy as usual, but with a noticeable migraine type headache... just about to have breakfast when a very intense 'petit mal' seizure came on [feels like deja vu] but was so overpowering i remember thinking, i must lie on the floor. Well thats the last thing i remember. My cup of tea was lukewarm when i awoke on the carpet near my comp. So i estimate i was out for 20 mins or so. Maybe longer? Confusion at first, then fear... then quite a shock when i looked in the mirror - blood across my eyes! left eye bruised, right eye cut. This is the mystery; i was lying on my right side, yet the dried blood was right to left. What on earth happened? what did i hit - twice! i can only guess that the comp desk was responsible somehow... but thats a really scary thought to have been unconscious that long. Not to mention the fact i had a fan heater on in close proximity to my hair. Now that was close. So i guess i have to anticipate the worst each time from now on. I did see my doctor later that day [the extra-skeptical one lol] and she actually commented that the left eye injury looked 'older' than the right eye one?! Like im lying?! Dont know why i bothered but.. at least it will be on record. Her "advice" was; dont have baths, and stay with friends/family. Kinda wasted there...
So yeah its back on the DMSA tomorrow, round 9, but still on 12.5mg dose.
