Unexplained Seizure

I am 20 years old. About two years ago I had a seizure in one of my classes at school. It happened again recently. The first time I didnt have anything to eat before hand and it came on suddenly. This past time, I had enough sleep and had eaten breakfast. I was sitting in a chair when I got lightheaded and nauseous. I thought I was going to throw up but quickly realized that I was going to pass out. My dad was there and said I was out for about two minutes and my body was stiff and shaking. Before I passed out I turned very white. After I regained consciousness, my body got all clamy and i was sweating. (we were in a cold basement when this all happened) I have had headaches quite frequently in the past few months and have had lightheadedness before. I get lightheaded in some of my classes but I can usually shake it. Some other things that are going with me are things like Raynard's disease in my fingers and feet. I also have had a lot of fatigue. I can sleep any amount of time and still feel tired. My dreams have been very vivid. I can usually remember at least one from every night in great detail. I have no idea what is going on with me. I have had MRIs, CTs, and EEGs with no luck. Everything has come back normal. My doctor thinks I might have Epilepsy but he is not sure because everything appears normal. I am also currently in the process of finding out if I have ADD on top of all of this. My concentration is terrible in everything I do. If anyone has any ideas about what is going on please let me know! I am sick of them telling me nothing is wrong when obviously something is going on!

Certain diseases can present with neurological symptoms, even though they are not a neurological disease. are you familiar with Lupus and other autoimmune diseases? the only reason I tink that it could belupus is that seizures are sometimes the first major sign of lupus, and Raynaud's is also associated with lupus. Poor concentration can be part of it, and being tired all the time can too. you don't have to have the lupus rash. Have you had any autoimmune blood work? There are other things it could be too, but this is my thought. Try this website:

I forgot to mention a couple of other things....I have had seizures before when I was very little (like 1 or 2) but they came with high fevers. I was in the hospital for those. I also have problems remembering things and paying attention in class as I already mentioned. I lost about 30 pounds last summer and have gained it all back unintentionally. I even have tried to lose the weight again without much success. Also, my Raynard's disease comes and goes all winter. Sometimes it is really bad and some times it doesnt happen in more than one or two fingers. I have this really weird thing that happens that is kind of hard to explain...when I am laying in my bed and watching tv, it sometimes feels like the tv is really far away like I am having problems with depth perception or something. It is just a really weird feeling. I really could use the help in figuring out what is wrong! Thanks again!!
