Hi,
Yesterday I was working away when I was struck with VERY vivid deja
vu. I was emailing someone on a work issue and I could have sworn I
had done it before, even went so far as to start a search for a
previous email (which didn't exist). It was if I was getting deeper
and deeper into the deja vu, and it got to the point where I was
remembering things I had dreamed, and could not tell if they were
dream or reality.
It got to the point where I felt disconnected from the outside world,
felt very disoriented. Odd "tightness" in the head/facial area. Called
a friend, so I was able to function somewhat, but when she would ask
me questions, I was at some points unable to respond. During this time
I felt the urge to cry, but I am not sure where that came from. Also
something weird, my nose started running toward the end of the
"episode." I felt almost back to normal after about 20 minutes.
Something similar occured a few years ago but I did not have it
checked out.
Can anyone relate to this? I am going to the Dr. today, and frankly am
a bit worried about having to decribe such odd symptoms.
Thanks for your time,
Jennifer

Jennifer,
That sounds very similar to what I used to suffer from age 11 until my
mid-twenties. I didn't have it diagnosed until I had my first
grand-mal at age 17. At the time it was diagnosed as a petit-mal deja
vu episode. The only thing that you describe that was different was
your nose running. When I was eighteen, tegretol controlled it for a
few years.
Hope it gets better,
Eric
