Hi,
I am 25 years old and am worried about some symptoms I have. When I was 15, I had surgery for an ovarian cyst. After the surgery, in recovery, I had a full on seizure. The doctors said it was a reaction to the Demorall and said I was allergic to most narcotic medicines.
I can't remember if I had these symptoms before the surgery, but am thinking I didn't because they are very noticable and nerve wrecking. I never asked a doctor about these symptoms because I felt stupid. I've tried to explain these things to my friends, and they just laughed and thought I was weird.
The first alarming symptom I have, is I feel a sensation in my brain (usually the back of my head, but sometime goes to the side as well). It is really hard to explain, but I usually say it's like my brain is moving against my skull. It only lasts for a minute and sometimes happens a few times a day, and sometimes it doesn't happen for months. I haven't noticed any pattern to this symptom.
The other symptom(s), are lights. Another thing my friends would make fun of me for. If I were to go to a haunted house or anything with strobe lights, I would get dizzy, lightheaded, and nausea. The worst thing about it is I am usually affected for a few days afterwards. After the inital lighting, the symptoms are much more dull. I just kinda feel 'out of it' for a few days. This same symptom presents it's self in the car (most times). The sun between the trees almost make me feel 'jumpy', and I immediaetly have to advert my eyes, or I feel like something bad is going to happen...not too sure what though.
These symptoms remind me of what I felt like before I had my original seizure. The only difference is my first seizure I all of the sudden felt like I was falling. You know when you fall asleep, and almost feel like your falling and then wake up suddenly? That was the last thing I felt until I woke up. I couldn't see anything, but I could hear. I remember hearing the nurse say, "it's ok hunny, you just had a seizure". And then, after hearing her say that, the lights went out again, so to speak. My mom was sitting next to my bed when all of this happened. She said it was a full on seizure - body thrashing, totally unconcious, and lasted a few minutes until I was able to respond again.
I am hoping that someone out there can provide some answers for me. I am tired of feeling like there is something behind these symptoms, and i'm not just 'weird'.

Thank you!
