please describe your menopause symptoms that seem just really weird. Like me I seem to feel sick all the time...like the flu. I am also extremely nervous and anxiety big time! I also seem to have developed panic attacks and suffered one seizure.

@A MyMSTeam Member Yes I was one of them. Quite common in little kids and way back when I was a kid, they diagnosed me with epilepsy but was confirmed there wasn't any. The seizure I had was a common one suffered by being dehydrated, overworked etc. Statistic are that everyone will have one at least once in their lives. Can be just a fainting spell or seizure. Sorry I forget the name ....something -----Vagel lol

@A MyMSTeam Member When I was young and held my breath until I passed out, it was usually after I hurt myself. Yes I do fear it happening again especially when I go on the balcony and sit in my bar chair where it happened. I am on anxiety/panic meds right now.Seems to help but not always. Yes I've thought of the ms hug....haven't had that for years.I was on Dilantin until I got my EEG and it was real bad, sickness, dizziness/light headedness, blurred vision, panic, crying etc etc. A lot of this can also be caused by hormonal imbalance perimenopause. I spoke to one lady on here who had the same symptoms that I read could be menopause. Side effects, menopause, panic/anxiety, vasovagal, depression? God I have trouble picking from a menu lol I know my new meds can cause some of my issues but FFF what's causing the others! So much to go over with doc. I thought after I went off Dilantin everything would be better.....not

Thanks for your knowledge. What is syncope? I read it with vasovagal. There were 3 types I think Vasovagal, vasovagal attack and vasovagal syncope...right? Gonna have to ask doc and read it again

@A MyMSTeam Member The name is vasovagal. They are common but still having issues. Gotta find out if they are linked to ms. They told me it was my low blood pressure and dehydration...Freaky for me, Came with hallucinations and everything
