Anyone, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here, please. But it seems like I've heard that a lot of the physical symptoms Bean is talking about can be caused by epilepsy? I know, sounds weird, but I swear it does. Here, I found this website. Here's a rundown:
Symptoms of Epilepsy
The following symptoms may indicate someone has epilepsy. A medical exam is advised if one or more of these symptoms are present. The symptoms include:
A convulsion with or without a fever
Short periods of blackout or confused memory Occasional "fainting spells" in which bladder or bowel control is lost, followed by extreme fatigue
Episodes of blank staring
Brief periods of no response to questions or instructions Sudden stiffening or falls for no apparent reason
Episodes of blinking or chewing at inappropriate times Dazed behavior;
being unable to talk or communicate for a short time Repeated movements that look out of place or unnatural
Sudden fear, anger or panic for no reason Odd changes in the way things look, sound, smell or feel
Muscle jerks of arms, legs or body
Clusters of swift jerking movements in babies
Conditions that may be mistaken for epilepsy:
Seizures associated with high fever
Fainting
Sleep disorders: nightmares, narcolepsy, cataplexy
Psychiatric disorders: panic attacks, fugue states, psychogenic seizures
Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs): brief interruptions of blood flow to the brain
Migraine headaches
Childhood breath-holding episodes
Epilepsy symptomsI'd really go to a doc, Bean. I'm sorry for all the trouble you're having. As far as the "shadows out of the corner of your eye", I've heard that epilepsy could cause this as well. Even if that's not the case, you're obviously under a lot of stress, and stress can cause this.
