neurological symptoms?

Postby ZeldaZonk » Tue Sep 06, 2011 10:22 am

Hi everyone,

I could swear I read somewhere that DID people experience more (unexplained?) neurological symptoms than the general population, but I can't find where I read it.
Maybe I imagined it...

Is this familiar to anyone? - the more common neurological symptoms, not the thinking something happened when you only imagined it. :lol:

Thanks, Zel.

Does this include twitches/body jerks? If so, yes.

Full fledged seizures where you have six strangers holding you down and then they force you to go to the hospital against your will?

Yup.

Other than having nerve related pain, I don't think I have more neurological problems than an average person. However whenever I go off of psych meds, I get "the zaps" as I call them, like I'm sticking my finger in an electric outlet. The only person I know who's had this happen or has even heard of this is my friend who has DID...

I have occasional migraines, almost always with only visual symptoms an no headache. More specifically, my migraines tend to manifest as scintillating scotomas.

I've had more migraines than usual lately, and yesterday, there was a hint of headache too. I've been wondering if it is somehow related to my (undiagnosed) DID.

Also, sometimes I have tremors.
