Memory Loss
As I was driving home from work, I lost about 10 minutes of memory. I ended up miles from my destination with no memory of how I got there. When I regained my senses, I was very confused, to the point that I could not compute what the street signs read without really concentrating (It was as if they were in a different language) and I was having difficulty talking. It's as if my brain was disconnected. My parents located me & took me to the ER. A CT scan & blood work was done at the ER & both were normal. The ER doctors said I most likely had an absence seizure. Everything I've read about absence seizures state they typically only last for seconds and occur only in children. (I am 29) I have an appointment with a neurologist, but it's not until Dec 12. I am really confused as to what happened & pretty scared also. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm happy that you have an appointment with a neurologist, let's wait fot that and please post again and let us know how it went. If you experience any similar symptoms in the meantime, don't hesitate to go to the ER immediately.
I saw the neurologist on Tuesday. He scheduled an MRI with & without contrast (I had it this morning) and a 4-day EEG, which is scheduled to start January 19th. He said it sounded to him like a complex partial seizure. Just wanted to give an update.Thanks for the update, and don't hesitate to ask us if there is something you want clarified. Keep us posted!
