The First Symptom
8/12/2003

My first symptom/episode occured while at work on the computer. I began to get light-headed, had some double vision, a bit of vertigo and aura. Aura is a term used to describe the disconnect between the eyes and the brain, in other words, I was seeing words and letters but not able to comprehend their meaning. Words were also jumbled, much like being temporarily dyslexic. The episodes I experienced I later learned were focal seizures leasting approximately 15 minutes.
