Question: BI went out of state to visit my family. Stayed with my sister and her husband. I arrived on a Thursday afternoon and was completely fine that day and Friday afternoon when I had lunch with a close friend. Later that night my sister’s husband, who has a medical marijuana card for no apparent reason, offered me a “gummy bear.” I ate half of it and almost immediately fell asleep. The next day I experienced cognitive problems—cognitive slowing and dull. I’ve never experienced that before. That night I had dinner with my family and it was very difficult to even talk sensibly with anyone. The next afternoon I also met my family for lunch as I was scheduled to fly back to NC emwhere I live, and the cognitive problems were even worse. I could understand the conversations, but couldn’t participate, could barely even read the menu at the restaurant. I was worried, because the service was so slow that I wouldn’t make my flight. When my father and I got up from the table, I had a grand mal seizure. I apparently fell on a table, causing a laceration on my forehead which required stitches!at the hospital. When I arrived at the hospital in an ambulance, I remembered nothing about this. And apparently when I got to the emergency room a little later, I had another seizure. Again, I have no memory of it. I was admitted to the hospital and was kept for three days. They did an MRI and other tests on my brain and found nothing abnormal. I was exposed to sleep deprivation the night before this happened, and also 24/7 exposure to all the TVs at my sister’s house (including in my bedroom), which I am so not used to. In my home we only have a TV on if there is something specific we want to watch. The neurologist at the hospital prescribed Lamictal, which I’ve been taking as prescribed. I’ve been diagnosed with a seizure disorder, although at 59, I’ve never had a seizure or had any of the cognitive problems I experienced there. I’m an outpatient psychotherapist in private practice. I would very much appreciate a second opinion before I make an appointment with the neurologist to whom I’ve been referred. By the way, I’m feeling just fine now.
