seizure jamais vu

I read somewhere about Deja-vu being related to some seizure activity? Could be wrong...but worth mentioning.

flashback, deja vu (feeling that one has seen something before), deja entendu (feeling that one has heard something before), jamais vu (feeling that one has never seen something that is familiar), jamais entendu (feeling that one has never heard something that is familiar), panoramic vision (rapid recall of past events) Time distortion Unprovoked emotion: fear, pleasure, displeasure, depression, anger, elation, eroticism"

Hi. I think sometimes it is normal to lose a piece of a thought, otherwise known as a brain fart. That said, it is also important not let people tell you its only a normal "skipped thought" when you know it isn't. I experience disjointed thoughts and know when they happen and I try to cover it up as best I can. It usually lasts for 10-20 seconds, but it feels like forever inside my head.

They can present in forms of deja vu, hallucinations, jamais vu (unfamiliarity) mood swings and memory loss. Although my EEG was fine, and the neurologist now thinks it is psychiatric I have to be on a mood stabiliser that also acts as an anticonvulsant just to be on the safe side, as well as an antipsychotic. There is an interesting post on this on the neurology forum: http://www.medhelp.

I have at least three different issues with memory. Fibro fog (or MS, whichever), possible jamais vu (per Mayo Clinic), and sporadic memory loss concerning conversations and things seen (portions or books and movies). I also have sporadic trouble understanding speech and written words as if in a foreign language. As far as I can tell none of these events last more than a couple minutes.

my epilepsy started when i was 9yrs old. i do get deja vu just before i have a seizure. i have had deja vu for as long as i can rember but the last couple years its gotten stronger and feels more real. now if i get deja vu i know its a warning sign a seizure is comming. i get the tengling feeling something like cold chills under my scalp. sometimes i get so sick to my stomach it feels so real. i just wanted to share my symptoms as someone with epilepsy.

I'm 15 years old. I have been getting deja vu since i was a little girl. When i get it i get a wierd feeling in my stomach, i talk/mumble fast, "zone out", staring spells, feeling of being scared, can't be alone, i pretty much panic. This experience happens quite often. I have had numerous tests ran and everything was normal? Usually after i get that experience i get severe migraines. What could this mean?

i am 15 and a vegetarian and i seem to spontaniously suffer from deja vu type symtoms. its not a normal deja vu though as i lose control of my body (sometimes falling over) and i use all my strenth to remain breathing. it is like an extreme deja vu . i can hear people around me but cannot respond to them in the usual manner.. i usually end up grunting. i feel like i am reliving a dream i had previously exactly how i saw it but i dont remember dreaming it until i am living it.

You need to see a neurologist to rule out seizure as the cause of your de ja vu. De Ja Vu is a very common symptom of a temporal lobe seizure. Make sure that you see an epileptologist, a neurologist who specializes in epilepsy. Luck!

About once a month for a day, maybe two or so I get these very odd deja vu episodes. They last for about 30-40 seconds and sometimes I feel like I could puke because I get dizzy. 90% of the time I have a headache either just after these episodes start, or sometime within that 24 hour period. The headache is usually in my forehead.

My anxiety seems to be kicked off with a nice spell of deja vu that sends me down a spiraling hole of "oh god do I have epilepsy???" and it scares the daylights out me. When I do get deja vu spells they only last a little bit but depending on the thing that set it off, I get deja vu if I keep thinking about it. I don't convulse or anything when it happens, I have asked people around me what I do in those instances.

It does still fit the description of a seizure. Not all seizures involve paddling, slobbering and loss of bladder control. Those are basically what are considered to be grand mal seizures. Petite mal seizures can be anything from a twitching of the head to a state of catatonia for a brief time, which sounds more or less like what your girl had. Please let us know what the vet says when you do get to take her in. Good luck to you!

The EEG has clearly demonstrated that there is seizure activity. There is a risk of the seizure spreading to other parts of the cortex. In my opinion, it is more beneficial than risky to start medication.

I have olfactory hallucinations too ... mine are seizure auras and they warn me of an impending seizure. Mine are always unpleasant smells ... most commonly an electrical burning smell, but occasionally rotting cabbage. It's really bizarre. However, the fact that you say you are smelling it "constantly" makes me wonder if it may be something other than a seizure aura. Because you would definitely know if you were having seizures "constantly.

His doctor is somewhat correct, an EEG test doesn't always confirm epilepsy or a seizure disorder unless he's having activity related to a seizure at the time of the test. All of his EEG's and MRI's may show no evidence of seizures, however, that doesn't mean ignore his seizures, he needs treatment. Sometimes a seizure will leave evidence of a stroke which may or may not show up on an MRI. It doesn't sound like your husband is having strokes.

I do know that the cyst can disturb the melatonin secretion as I wake up many times during the night, and not getting the proper sleep for years could be causing the simple partial seizures (they start out as deja-vu and then I have intense feelings, tingling, numbness, excitement throughout my body, they end with stomach nausea and dizziness). There is no history of seizure disorder in my family. Thanks for you time and your help, and any advice will help.

It may be a type of seizure. I would see a doctor (maybe neurologist) and/or psychiatrist (I don't think you are crazy just they are good with seizures and brain disorders). I also mentioned a psychiatrist because they will listen to you much longer than a regular doctor and they helped me with a migraine variant when 10 other doctors couldn't figure it out. Are you on any drugs that might give you bad side effects? I was on a pain killer that made me feel like I was outside myself.

The smaller ones always manifest in the same manner, they would wake me up in the morning, I would get a sudden shock in my head, my heart starts racing like crazy, sometimes I got a sort of a strange taste of iron in my mouth, and before therapy I used to also get deja-vu symptoms and sometimes a twitch in my left arm. Those attacks were ignored by my MS doc, with the explanation that I have some kind of vasovagal syncope (?

Sometimes it happens to me while im asleep, as well. I then had a grand-mal seizure about 2 years ago, while I was driving. When I started seeing my neruologist, she told me that my "episodes" are "partial complex seizures". I have read up on the condition, but i have not read anything that even remotely relates to whats happening to me. Can anyone give some insight, or their opinion?

my name is christi. i was in a bad car wreck 3 years ago. i had a sever concusion and whiplash. a few months after my wreck i had a spell where i just past out. i don't know for how long. well they stopped. well about a year ago the spells started back but worse. i would get this strong sensation of deja vu' and hot and cold at the same time and sweating i felt real funny to my stomach and felt really weak.

And if there were seizures, from this pre frontal cortex area, what type of seizure activity would be most likely? could symptoms similar to temporal lobe involvement come into play, such as deja vu or depersonalization?
