12/11/2023 0 Comments Aura deja vuI've had a normal MRI and three normal EEGs (including one sleep-deprived and one on the same day as a seizure). I have had eight so far, always when stressed or sleep deprived or both, but strangely they completely went away during pregnancy and early postpartum (and then returned). The worst of it fades after an hour or two but I don't feel like myself until the next day. Lasts a couple minutes and then followed by a feeling of depression/dread, feeling that my surroundings are foreign even though a small part of me knows it's familiar (usually my house), and major memory issues. Two years ago I started having these episodes - a sudden, intense burst of dreams that are accompanied by intense deja vu (recalling a dream I had the night before) and a strange sense of euphoria. Your story sounds eerily similar to mine! I'm 33. But, as I said, check w/ relatives & get frequent EEG's just in case. For your sake, I hope your doctor is right. It's possible you're having nothing but stress-related migraines. Of course, there are other signs, such as nausea, sensitivity to light, water & metal has a strange cold feel to it, etc. When I wake up from sleep when I had a seizure, I have a horrible migraine (what I call a seizure hangover) - it's how I know I had a seizure while I slept. They are also accompanied by a lot of drool. I also had severe migraines caused by stress & most of my seizures are caused by stress, except for the ones I have while I sleep. My epilepsy is not the cause of a tumor or scar, but is inherited (from my uncle) & was not detected until I was 15. Also, check w/ your relatives to see if any of them have epilepsy. If I were you, I'd keep getting EEG's every few months. My last episode was yesterday (I had a few) which may be connected to a stressful event (being told they aren't keeping me on at my job, also started my postgraduate studies at university, and found out my partner might have a serious heart condition). I guess I just want to know if others have similar experiences. I don't exactly know where I am going with this. They seem to be related to my dreams, almost as if I get flashbacks of dreams I had the night before. The deja vu itself only lasts a few seconds. ![]() The next morning I would have a severe migraine headache. ![]() There have been times where I would wake up with an intense feeling of deja vu, I'd feel nauseous and even throw up at times. I've had two normal EEG results, the last time I saw her she said it's probably not epilepsy and just migraines. The neurologist said I probably have it, that those deja vu sensations are most likely seizures (which I already suspected). I haven't officially been diagnosed with epilepsy. ![]() They seem to be triggered by a stressful event, I've also experienced them a week or so before my period is due, when I've been in the car for a long period of time (the next day I'll get them). Every couple of months or so I will experience clusters of deja vu episodes.
