Neurological Disorder

Hi,

I was hoping to put my episodes behind me as the medicine Keppra seemed to make the symptoms go away. But I went to the gym last week and again went into a near fainting experience. My husband was with me and by massaging my feet and back I start reviving. Before he begins the massage,
I feel this strange feeling coming on for about 5 minutes. I get a strange taste in my mouth, tingling in my legs and arms, and I see a round light. Then I can't move for about 5 or10 minutes and get a really bad headache. I am tired for the rest of the day. Luckily I get advanced warning before the attacks so I don't fall down and get hurt.

I am getting a 24 hour EEG in 2 weeks and wonder if they'll find I have some horrible neurological disease. It's really frightening. Right now I feel fatigued and am trying not to exert myself too much

If anyone reads this an has similar symptoms please write.

Thanks,
Beth
