About 3 months ago I was driving at night en route to pick up my
brother.
I was on a familiar major highway for a little while then got off at
the usual exit...when all of a sudden I didn't know where I was nor
where I was headed. There were lots of bright lights from gas
stations and restaurants and I didn't feel panicky - almost surreal
as if I was watching a movie.
I knew I was on that road for a reason and maybe 45 seconds later I
remembered I was going to get my brother. I got him just fine yet on
the ride home, I got off at another well known exit and soon as I
entered the brightly lit street, poof, again my mind went blank.
I was too embarrassed and mortified to tell any one and waited 10
days and finally made an appt with
my Neurologist who ordered an EEG which returned normal.
Now 2 nights ago after spending an evening inside Chuck E Cheese's
with my 8-1/2 year old grandson...soon after I pulled out on to the
big road with all the lights, I flat out did not know why I was there
nor where I was going.
I will say I felt VERY disconcerted that my grandson was in the car
and I'm zoning out! I kept my hand on his knee for comfort [he didn't
know what was happening] - and within 25 seconds I managed to
understand where I was by seeing familiar stores and got us home
safely.
During this 3rd episode I felt as if the road was heading
upwards...you know, like I was slowly traveling up a hill? And I live
in South Florida where there aren't even tall ant mounds - ha ha!
I just don't get it!
No headaches, no recent new meds at all with these incidences.
I have perused the Internet and see where I definitely relate to
deja vu, not so much with these episodes, yet my entire life in
general, ever since I was a young child.
Baffling.
