tonic-clonic seizures
I woke up Saturday morning in an ambulance. Evidently, I had a really bad seizure in my sleep. Therefore, I was taken to the hospital. Less than 5 hours later, I had yet another seizure. (With no history of seizures!) I was in the hospital for 2 days, having an MRI, PET, and spinal tap done. I was discharged with the primary diagnosis of clonic-tonic (grand-mal) seizures. I can't smoke or drive for THREE TO SIX MONTHS. When I live in Northglenn and go to school in Boulder this shall be quite the feat, but oh well. Hopefully, I will be able to get an appointment in with a neurologist tomorrow and I can get an EEG done...

Feel better Jeri! I have a friend who developed the same condition in college, so you're not alone, and he's fine by the way. Hang in there, I hope we see you soon.
