Okay, WTF is this

[Xog]

I've noticed this happening to me over the past two years. Every day I my body will freak out. My muscles completely lock up and my vision changes. It happens at the least twice per day. One just happened about 5 minutes ago and I'm like "ok, wtf." It's really annoying.

I'll be sitting in a chair, or on a couch, trying to focus on something (usually reading) and all of a sudden my vision goes fucking haywire, like I'll see a bright flash or some (usually gray/dark white?) type of design and then my body will convulse as if I'm in a seizure. To me, it feels like it's only happening for one second.. it's really weird!

My muscles don't ache or anything.. Anyone know wtf is going on? Does this happen to anyone else on a daily basis?

I looked up some different types of seizures, and I think Tonic Seizure fits the script the most. It says the seizures last less than 20 seconds, but would 1 second really be accountable? It's never happened more than that. It's really annoying!

was gonna say seizure or stroke.

was gonna say seizure or stroke.

Tonic seizures most often occur during sleep and usually involve all or most of the brain, affecting both sides of the body.

My girlfriend has mentioned in the past that I tend to twitch a lot in my sleep.. I've woken her up a couple times apparently.

probably the gayness in u trying to push out? i think it's been about 2 years since u locked those feelings up, i see a correlation there!


ps. u MIGHT just wanna visit your GP about this instead of asking it on some random gaming forum.. just maybe?

[Xog]

No time! :\ Doesn't seem like too much of an issue though. It's just annoying when it happens.

Have you been tested for epilepsy?

[kthx]

This is a completely different subject, but I remember back when I used to sleep at my desk in school because I was tired of all the liberal indoctrination and only studying for government ran exams that weren't a measure of true intelligence or how much you have actually learned sometimes when I was going to sleep I would get a random muscle twitch and it was kind of embarrassing. I would always look up but nobody seemed to notice.

eh, just a case of the good 'ol shakes

i get 'em all the time

although mine are the remnants of prior drug enjoyment (yes enjoyment, not abuse. i had a good time!)

allow me story: does a shiver run down your spine (twitch of the body) after you are done peeing? this is totally not related LOL but when i was little i was curious why this happened to me...and recently i found out that this shiver after peeing only happens in about 83 percent of
guys and 50 percent of girls...its called Post micturition convulsion syndrome

oh and to get back on topic...yea ur gonna die soon sorry bud

I think Jason's probably the most accurate. You done drugs.

And seriously, if it bothers you that much, go see a doc.

It's not the normal whole-body twitch, i get that too - it's more of a convulsive act my whole body tenses up and my head launches backward, and I do lose vision completely, i usually see a bright flash of something (like a fucking flashback to a war that you see people have in movies) but I don't see anything, usually bright white or some type of weird gray-white design .. and it lasts for a second.

it doesn't bother me much, but it's annoying. It'd be kind of ridiculous to take medication or something for this type if thing, I was just curious if anyone here experiences it.

It could be related to drugs. I've done quite a few things for quite a while that could cause permanent minor damage to my synapses causing me to go into a 'seizure'. I mean, a seizure is just an overload of synapse activity in the brain, causing your whole body to do act based on what they're sending signals to (usually everything, thus all the muscles tensing up). It's been about 3-4 months since I've last done any harder drugs.. whenever the last time was when I had that talk with u kthx

It's a mild seizure. Go see your doctor.

[paradise!]

drug 'enjoyment'. creative jason, creative.

[Pressure Drop]

go see your doc

it's probably nothing but something you should get checked out

everyone gets the odd twitch etc but not like that :P

well, i started smelling weird stuff about 2 weeks ago and it isn't stopping. i smoke a lot but damn this is nuts, im constantly brushing my teeth cuz i can't get this "smell" out. I'm having olfactory hallucinations (phantosmia) which is basically smelling things that aren't there (in all honesty it smells like a mix of e-sweat, a decomposing body and stale cigarettes coming from my lungs). So I went to the doctor to see what these smells were and he told me I was having "smell hallucinations" (phantosmia) based on what I described.

I asked him what would be some causes and he mentioned seizures and I wound up telling him about the fits i get, so I'm going to be having an EEG and CAT scan to see what's going on..

this shit is so sick. Every time i breathe through my nose I smell it, and every time i breathe OUT of my mouth I can taste it. Fucking weird as hell. I also stopped smoking for like 4 days and it still didn't go away, but when I smoke it's SSOOO BADDD so I'm trying my hardest not to smoke.. the doctor said it most likely isn't a direct result of smoking but it does seem to increase its effects.

It's weird because when I think about it I can taste/smell it and when I'm distracted by something it's not a problem.

i just read thing thing on wikipedia about it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantosmia and it mentions sticking foreign objects in the nostril and it gives temporary relief.. that shit totally worked too. i rolled up a wrapper from something on my desk (not small so it can't get lodged in there..lol) and it worked for like 2 mins.. even smoking felt normal.
