Blanked out last night. I was in the middle of posting yesterday’s entry when I came over a bit woozy, almost sick-like. I went to the kitchen sink but I needed to sit down, put my head between my knees so I grabbed a bowl and went upstairs and sat on the loo, clutching the bowl beneath my mouth, not that I was really feeling sick any more but my head was buzzing, thickly, loudly, and then felt myself leaning hard against the wall. I opened my eyes, and I was on the floor and the bowl was halfway across the room, and my head, still buzzing ebbing out of intensity.
Although I don’t remember how I fell from toilet to floor, I know that it was only a matter of seconds that I was out for. I also know what might have caused it. I was hot, there had been a lowish light in the lounge, and my left eye had been hurting all day. I think I must’ve had a bit of grit in it and some point and scratched it, and bruised around it. I’d been bathing it all day with optrex and I could see fine but it did hurt – and that kind of combination of circumstances do sometimes bring out these reactions.
That sounds rather worrying, dude. Have you got a message in a bottle? I saw a poster for them in the doctor’s surgery the other night and am going to get one.
It’s something that happens every few years. It’s not a ‘fit’ exactly, but I think it’s probably epilepsy-related. I can recognise when it’s happening though…
Poor you! Perhaps it was some kind of migraine-like thing? Even if you don’t get migraines regularly, you can get one-off ones sometimes. I had a weird migraine like experience once – I saw weirdly coloured lights and then had a very intense headache for a few hours, and then was fine.
Glad you didn’t hurt yourself!
Although not actually a ‘fit’ as such, I think it might be epilepsy-related. I can recognise when it’s going to happen though and can get myself in a postion where it’s not going to hurt me…
