I would definitely get to a hospital to see a neurologist, because it certainly sounds like you are suffering  love. Don't let them palm you off with more drugs, make sure they look into it and find the root cause. Insist on having a Ambulatory EEG, because they will monitor you, for about 3 days. If you cant get to hospital insist on the free ambulance service that most hospitals have when you are unwell or have several problems, called PALS. Look it up on computer and see if ther is one in your area and phone them. Don't to forgot to express how ill you've been! I wish you all the best, and let us know. Good luck! Carrie15

A good way to deal with this is you call your PCP and let them know what is going on.  They might want you to see a specialist.  Sounds like you might need an EEG.  I wish you all the luck in the world with this. Please come back and let us know how you are doing.
