    Yes, it came back irregular. They have a few specialists trying to figure this out.

    Almost sounds like you were having a grand malls seizure.

    OP sounds like you had a spinal stroke to me, I had a friend that had one while driving and had to be revived 5 times on the way to the ER. Good luck prayers sent.

    That's what was so scary. My hands cramped and locked up in the same time it took me to unlock my phone with my finger print and pull up a text. I only got part of a text through.

    This morning I looked my phone. It had"ok Google" still up. The last thing I said was "ok Google please please help me"

    I wonder if the voice assist would have dialed 911 for you if you had said "call 911"?

    I'm going to go visit the local paramedics after this and ask them how I can assist myself better if this happens again.

    That is an incredible story. Thank God you’re still here and at least in a safe place. I can’t imagine that many people just drove by as if nothing was more important than whatever it is they had a n mind at the time. Those girls are heroines as someone pointed out.

    I wish you a speedy recovery. Keep your spirits up...

    Holy crap that's frightening. Glad you got help in time OP

    What you describe sounds like meningitis, seizures are a common side effect of it when it gets bad. I had it as a toddler, got the spinal tap done and everything. Was hospitalized for weeks. Fever spiked so high doctors told my mother there was likely going to be brain damage *insert jokes here*

    Any chance you're in the Los Angeles area? Few reported cases of West Nile here this summer. The symptoms are pretty similar to meningitis. We've had so many mosquitoes in our area this year from the wet winter we had and relatively cool summer

    I'm in Minnesota, we had one case just last week near me. So it's possible.

    The other, god forbid, could be myelitis. Attacks can be sudden like yours, and demyelinating diseases march to the beat of their own drummer.

    If they haven’t ordered a CT and MRI yet, you should be asking why not.
