This only happens when I drink coffee which is why I don’t drink coffee and I assume it’s a seizure. I just don’t know what type and this is going to be a jumble of nonsense because it just happened but here we go. My normal seizures are tonic clonics but this feels like my body wants to have a tonic clonic but it can’t cause my medicine is fighting it in my brain so it has little bursts.
First, I’ll drink said coffee and then it sets in. I start essentially disassociating. I’ll feel like I’m not in my body and then I just can’t focus. I’m totally conscious but I can’t focus so I lay down and just stare in one spot and then I start tensing up and then untensing but I don’t move because my body feels so heavy. It’s like myoclonic jerks which I have had. I can think but it’s sort of repetitive. I’ll think of a question and then think of the question again and then think of my own answer then the question again sort of thing.
Then as it’s ending it feels like once I finally become conscious after my tonic clonics. I still feel heavy and disconnected. I get a little giggly and I’m still having a conversation in my head sort of thing but just so out of it.
Anyway, anyone who has had similar experiences, I’d love to hear them. This happened today because I went to Starbucks and ordered a decaf protein latte. Normally I go to Dutch Bros and they’ve never gotten it wrong so I wasn’t worried. I can feel it pretty quickly when I know they did a regular coffee.
Thanks fellow seizure havers.
