Answer to Rage

Karen-x profile image
24 Replies

As many of you know, I spend 4 days this week in a psych unit because I have been having uncontrollable rage and it upset me so much I wanted to commit suicide. I give all praise to God that I told someone and my family took me to the hospital.

I met w my Neuro today, who went over all the test, etc. I am having complex partial seizures. Thank God, that I have an answer, that it can be treated, and I have new hope. Isn't it wild to be thankful for seizures??? But I am!!!!

Thank God you are ok Karen-x, it's a big relief having heard from you. I am pleased they now know what is wrong, but have they told you what is causing the seizures? Where would we be without hope. Big, hug, and big blessings, Jimeka 🦋 🌈 🙏 🤗

MS has caused the seizures. Apparently about 10% of MS patients are as lucky as me.

I'm Glad you recognized your situation and got help, I'm happy you made the right choice! I'm with you in that 10% who are blessed enough to get seizures, I had one 9 days ago and I haven't recovered yet. You take care and get better!

Karen-x it is nice to know on a rare symptom like this, we aren't alone! I have the Clonic-Tonic type, they get violent sometimes so I take Ativan. Thank you it has been a long 9 days!

Kevin_McMillan , praying you recover fully from your recent seizure. Sorry to hear you also suffer from this 'rarer' MS symptom. 💕

Tutu, Thank you very much! My Dad suffered from Agent Orange related cancer(Multiple Myeloma), I believe it is the passing on of the AO that has made this so chronic. Thanks again. 🤗

Karen-x I was on Copaxone but it wasn't working, I then was put on Tecfidera. I then got really sick from it. After pulling teeth from a rhino, the Neuro took me off of it. I was on Copaxone 3x week but it was wasnt working and i think it started making me sick too. Im on nothing now.

I think all the meds can, they are poison. I had my fist one before I was any DMT. They have been gradually getting worse.

Karen-X, it's Fancy1959. I second Jimeka's opinion that thank God you trusted your instincts and cried out for help. This disease/monster is so complex and attacks each of us so differently you have just proven that we need as individuals never to ignore any symptoms, especially the severe ones. I have had some activity that never grew in full fledge seizures but were scary nun the least. I had episodes where I just passed out unexpectedly and the neurologist I was seeing at the time pointed toward seizures for an explanation. It was when I was still working full-time and I was under an immense amount of stress with my job. When these spell started I went the neuro quickly and then after his assessment, I immediately quit work. I have not had any other episodes and don't think they will be relevant as long as I remember to keep my stress level low.

Remember we are just a click away if you need to talk. Please take care and keep in touch and let us know how it's going. Remember together we are stronger!

Karen-x , you were missed those days, but not forgotten. You continue to be in my prayers. So thankful you are okay and the doctors were able to determine the cause. 💕

Wow. I too have siezures from MS I went through some serious rage issue a few years ago. It scared me I wanted to be hospitalized and they refused to take me. I thought it was because the doctor put me on gabapentin and I thought it wasn't mixing with The lamotrigine. But I was never told seizures could be the cause of the rage. Interesting
