My FMIL had a seizure.

3, actually.

Today, yesterday, and now, in hindsight, she realizes that when she blacked out last month (she thought it was a migraine), it was actually another seizure.

She does not have any history of seizures, and the neurologists are doing a battery of tests to hopefully figure out why this is happening all of a sudden. She is not on any new medication (only a blood pressure pill that she's been on for at least a year)...nothing has changed in her diet or lifestyle.....its just strange.

Last month she went to the Dr. because she was losing her hair in circular patterns all over her head and was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata. (hair loss disorder- hair falls out VERY quickly, and in clumps - can be stress related.)

Now all of the Drs are wondering if the seizures and alopecia and sleeping problems she's been having are all signs of a bigger problem....

Neuro tests, blood tests, and MRIs are all to follow....

FH is taking things a little strangely....I wonder if he's scared, or if he just doesn't want to worry until there's a diagnosis, or I don't know.... Its just one of those days where I wish I could cheer him up, but its not working!

If you have a minute, please just send some good thoughts for a quick diagnosis and recovery.

Thank you!
