Thanks, all. Absolutely surreal experience. Nope, MG, no diabetes but you know all about my sleep troubles. Father has apnea, his sister, my mother has serious sleep troubles as does my own sister. I had been sleeping only an hour or two (max) the previous few nights. As I said, I was at the gym trying to run myself sleepy.
Man, I wish I had a copy of the vid. You should have seen me hit! I have never seen my elbow blacker (don't know WHAT I hit) and the back of my leg is all scraped off (probably from the treadmill). I seriously do NOT remember walking out of the gym but it is there in the video. I thought they carried me on a stretcher.
They now have me on something called Keppra. Worst part is that they say no driving for three months. Try THAT in way rural America. Especially with work and three Priest concerts coming up. Nope, don't see that happening. About to go out and finish mowing the lawn, in fact. Finished three of four hours the day I crashed. No worries, I'll drive slowly!

And no history of diabeties??? Well you know about the medical aspect well, and the muscle aches are usuaaly from when the siezure happens and all you muscles tighten up , clenched fists ect... How much sleep are you getting????? and then you told me you have sleep apnea..?????. My dad had a siezure , ( but he was asleep) and the doctors told him people who have sleep apnea, are prone to siezures, weather they are asleep or not, because the brain becomes exhausted, from lack of rest/ oxygen, and eventually just says to the body.... I cant do this anymore..... Did you tell them you have the apnea????
Sorry for all the questions,, Iam just concerned..
I mean Are us Priest girls going to have to come there and whip your little butt in shape!!!!! LOL

Absolutely NO history of it in my family. Got me on anti-seizure drugs now. They did run a whole battery of tests from EEGs to CatScans etc. No brain tumor. That is a good thing. Their best guess now is that it was a provoked seizure due to lack of sleep. The gym is 24hours and has cameras all over the place. I saw my vid yesterday. Man, did I hit HARD! Kinda blurry and hard to see but about a mile into a run you see me go down with EMS running in almost immediately afterwards as they are housed right across the street. I barely remember the event and certainly don't remember a thing about the second that happened in the hospital. Really odd. Just a fuzzy "coming to" where it dawns on me that I am in the Intensive Care Unit.
I have a follow-up in a couple of weeks. Right now, every muscle in my body hurts. They gave me some stat where normal muscle protein hovers around 100 and mine hit 1300+. Yikes. No wonder I hurt all over.

But are you going ijn for follow up testing?? and did they find anything while you were in the hospital as to the cause of why this is happening???? Now Iam worried about you!!!!
Good lord Guido,, that is very scary,.,,,
