Blood pressure improved, oxygen saturation improved, glucose improved (maybe slightly), weight has improved because I&#8217;ve been on the diet, tracking calories and going to the gym.  What hasn&#8217;t changed is the seizures and they&#8217;ve become much worse and much more often so that I don&#8217;t recovery between seizure sets.  And I don&#8217;t get just one seizure, they come in like hiccups and you know how when you get hiccups once you&#8217;re set up to get them again and then again and maybe you spend three days with hiccups on and off?  I do that but with seizures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is making it difficult to be at the gym and eat properly because I don&#8217;t sleep and have no appetite.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ER recommended Benedryl.  I asked for a benzo or something to help knock back the seizures until I could get in to see the primary but they refused.  Benedryl is not recommended for seizures because it lowers the seizure threshold but I guess it&#8217;s what I have from OTC.  I can get fentanyl anywhere in my neighborhood but God forbid I have .5 mg of clonezepam for seizures or worse &#8211; antibiotics for infection.  What&#8217;s the use of our healthcare system I wonder sometimes.  There is probably an infection or something under the surface causing these issues.  I did have a shadow on my lung that they said should be promptly looked into but was probably nothing.    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>nausea small cough inability to get enough air sometimes abdominal pain confusion and forgetting things that just happened terror \/ panic and feeling like I&#8217;m falling overwhelming sense of doom hyper real bowels empty suddenly and completely blood pressure raises significantly memory loss hallucinations Over the trips to the ER my vital signs have become [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1333,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1332"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1332"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1332\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1335,"href":"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1332\/revisions\/1335"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
