I think I had a Clonic Seizure last night. Here is the definition of this type of Seizure.
Clonic seizures are repetitive, rhythmic jerks that involve both sides of the body at the same time.
For the last few days I've had twitching in Various parts of my body. Last night was the worst it ever was. It was kinda like when you are really cold and your whole body shakes. It lasted about 5 minutes. Now I am still Jittery. I upped my ativan today to help control it. I think the problem is that I have developed a tolerance for Ativan. My body has been in withdrawal for it since I haven't upped the dose before because I want to get off of the stuff. The longer you take it the more you need. I am going to the doctor today. Maybe he will give me a different Benzo with a longer half life so I can slowly taper off of it. It's possible though that I have some sort of neurological problem and the Ativan is just masking it. My favorite Author Fyodor Dostoyevsky had epilepsy and he didn't have access to medicine so now I have more compassion for him. I still think maybe when I took Avelox and then took Ambien might have messed me up because there are studies that show the two medications mixed together can cause chronic nerve problems.
Update: Went to the Doctor. He and Marci thought I was full of Baloney. Anyway he is going to have me get an ultrasound monday to check my gall bladder. I also got some sleeping pills.
