I am still bedridden, yet diligently researching what else could be wrong with my brain. In all matters of repetitiveness, this is due to my first tonic-clonic seizure that occurred on September 02, 2009. You see, I need to be repetitive as I do not know who may stumble upon this post, or all of the others that I have written regarding this.
However, I will try to not be too repetitive. For all things written prior, you have the above information, so I shall try to keep this as merely an update. Try, indeed. It is all very complicated. Very.
There are more things that I have discovered. Yes? My little hypothalamus that seems to be creating most of my problems, the crux of my possible brain’s insult, may be insulting me more. You see, the hypothalamus controls many hormonal activities. These may be taking place within my body (and brain), as well as all other issues I have researched. I am not even sure how to proceed from here. Apart from some things that have already been mentioned, some post-“ick”tal© symptoms that I am still experiencing… Hmmm…
I am, as many readers know, very open on my blog. However, this is…rather…well, how shall I continue. In the name of science? *PA pauses*
Hormones. Well, let’s just say regarding certain “hormones,” I have never felt “better” in one area since I have been (hypo)manic! Perhaps, this is one good outcome of this damn tonic-clonic? *laughing* Oh, my! This is taking me back to…well…oh, my! A certain “sign” or “symptom” of Bipolar that was extremely prevalent for me. In fact, the other night, I may have had a Gelastic Seizure after…erm…yes…some, “hormonal activity,” on my part? But, no. You can not give yourself a seizure.
Still. Rather interesting how one occurred after another…and the other…or others… *laughing so hard*
I think I have alluded to enough here? Or more than? Not to mention, some tiny bits of research I have actually found regarding this and Gelastic Seizures.
If you don’t know what a Gelastic Seizure is, it is a sudden, unprovoked, outburst of emotion. It generally tends toward laughter. I have had two. However, there seems to be a bit of literature that lends to the fact that this form of Simple Partial Seizure, can be preceded by a “psychic aura” (that is also referred to as a Simple Partial Seizure.) That aura can manifest itself as a feeling of emotion as well. That being said, I did experience a feeling of happiness and perhaps even euphoria. This was immediately before I was basically rolling all over my bed, in uncontrollable hysterics, completely laughing out loud, and unable to contain myself.
I do not laugh like this. In fact, I do not laugh out loud…well, ever? Extremely rarely? With my last Gelastic Seizure, I was basically doubled over with tears practically streaming down my face. Then it stopped, and everything went back to normal. Actually, it was nice to have another one the other night? They are quite “funny.” *laughing* Truly bizarre, but I completely loved the two that I’ve had before.
So, at least be thankful for my apparent, “enjoyment” of a certain hormonal surge and another Gelastic Seizure? *rolls eyes*
