OK, some activity due to Low Blood Pressure can mimic seizures. Get a Blood Pressure Monitor (ebay or similar sites). Kitty, if it was seizure activity, I have met others' who remember their 'episodes', too. So, nothing unusual there. OK?

Hmmm??? How about Hormone fluctuations? Were you due for, during or after menstruation, when this occurred? Can you remember when you noted the blurry vision? What you were doing B4??

Hope you are doing better today. HUGS!
