Name changed. I’m a bit embarrassed.
Big family dinner today, plus massive period plus getting over a rotten cold. All a bit stress but not overly so.
I felt a bit odd, like the floor was coming up towards me so I had a sit down and then powered on. Mentioned to DH the floor felt like it was moving.
I got a visual migraine, jagged flashing lights and no pain. For the absolute life of me I couldn’t work out how many chairs we needed. I knew we needed to seat 9 for dinner and had 9 plates ready but I couldn’t work out that therefore 9 people = 9 chairs. Then I forgot the cutlery. I felt so odd that I asked my mum to carve and plate up the dinners instead of everyone serving themselves, and I sat in the front room and gave myself a talking to.
Then I went back in the kitchen/dining room and DH said that there was lots of hubbub, the kids coming in and out and I’d just stopped in the middle of the room. He asked me a question and said I took ages to answer and the words came out very slow. I knew something was odd but I was busy focussing on everyone else. I also felt incredibly hot and tingly, like when you’ve got into a warm bath. DH said he thought I was having a stroke or something (he has no idea about what that might be, just that something was going on) but then I felt MCUH better and was happy and chatty and had a lovely dinner and played cards with everyone. I am totally knackered now but I can’t sleep.
My friend with a child with epilepsy thinks it’s a focal seizure, DH is a bit rattled but I’m thinking it’s a combo of too much rich food and general Christmas stress that’s given me a mutant migraine. I had no head pain at all.
Do I call it a one off or do as my friend suggested and pester the doc about it?
