Monkeys Fist 46900 Posted yesterday at 11:58 Share Posted yesterday at 11:58 Aye, I’m sure you could have done without that diagnosis. Was it something you were aware of or did it come totally out of the blue? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it something you were aware of or did it come totally out of the blue? Had extreme versions of déjà vu since around 2022 I think, now and then, maybe once every few weeks sometimes longer sometimes shorter, lasts around 30 seconds to a minute, very hard to explain tbh but nothing like normal déjà vu which everybody has. After the first few times when I thought I was going mental I actually recognised there might be something wrong and when I knew it was happening would almost study it myself. I eventually told the missus but left it at that. I saw a GP around January in case it was a prelude to dementia or something so he referred me to neurology which I went to on Friday. From the conversation he said it could be a temporal lobe epilepsy so has booked me in for the MRI and an ECG. I'm perfectly fine when it happens, am aware of it and even tell the wife and kids when it's happening. They say I just stare at them or the TV amazed and almost laughing as I'm at that moment listening to what's being said and 'know' what's going to be said. It's very weird. I mean, I always knew I was a sandwich short of a picnic but wasn't expecting this! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 24776 Posted yesterday at 14:58 Share Posted yesterday at 14:58 @Howmanheyman, seriously, sounds weird. At keast you have an explanation now I guess and it also sounds like there is treatment available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 12460 Posted yesterday at 14:59 Share Posted yesterday at 14:59 Shit HMHM, hope all settles down/works out. You've no luck mate, Fucking typical you get this "can't drive to work" gold card when work's only 10 mins walk away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After it didn’t work out as a professional footballer they opened a chain of chilled out barber shops 👍🏻 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 38195 Posted yesterday at 15:26 Share Posted yesterday at 15:26 @Howmanheyman Hope it all works out for you, mate. At least getting a diagnosis is a good thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 38482 Posted yesterday at 15:31 Share Posted yesterday at 15:31 Cheers lads, it may be something else or I may actually be psychic so could have an alternative living if they're looking for a Derek Acorah replacement? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 6619 Posted yesterday at 17:40 Share Posted yesterday at 17:40 @Howmanheyman Sorry to hear of this mate but glad that you're in consultations and so on about it. Well done for taking that step because sometimes people sit on things like this. Sounds kinda manageable at least, hope things improve nonetheless though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already had Nic Cage playing you in a film about this 20 years ago tbh so hopefully you’ve suffered enough already. It was either called knowing or next and I’m sure both films were more or less the same and equally terrible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 24485 Posted yesterday at 19:50 Share Posted yesterday at 19:50 echo what others have said @Howmanheyman - what a shit hand. hopefully it's something that can be managed and isn't too disruptive. on the bright side, it sounds like your seizures, if that's what they are, are on the less extreme end of the scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it truly is psychic super-powers, don't let them medicate it out of you until you've helped me uncover the identity of Zowie Fenderblast. People have to know! More seriously, look after yourself man! You'll be driving again before you know it. I used to work for a guy (who incidentally married into my extended family) has what sounds like a far more extreme form of epilepsy and still is able to drive on the daily. Make the most of the break from driving responsibilities. There's a lot to be said for Uber, home deliveries and pints at lunchtime. And while Uber and delivery drivers are clearly being exploited, you conscience is clean because it's just a temporary measure and those fuckers can still drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
