Unusual Things

I was a child when my brain began to lose memory. I would forget my name at that moment, experiencing this four to five times per day and sometimes less than two times per month. These seizures occur when I see certain "unusual things," such as old street lamps, electric pedometers, and old doors. I couldn’t understand my situation, and I struggled to explain it to anyone.

This problem continued with me until the age of 20. One morning, as I woke up to go to college, I suddenly felt confused and thought, "Where am I?" I found myself in the hospital, with my mother looking sadly at me. This falling has been a continuous issue, happening 2 to 3 times a year until now. I lost my job and my confidence among the people around me.

Patterns and observations

I do not understand why I have fewer problems during the 3 to 4 months of summer while more seizures occur in other seasons. I use treatments regularly and continuously record seizure data, including the date, weather, my mental state at the time, and what I ate beforehand.

I am convinced that there is a secret behind my seizures. Based on my experience, I have noted the following points about my case:

Seizures tend to occur on cloudy days and food and drink significantly affect the quantity and intensity of my seizures. I am particularly sensitive to certain foods and drinks, including all coffee drinks, sunflower seeds, olive oil, nuts, alcoholic beverages, and cow meat. I try to avoid these items, and fortunately, I have slightly controlled my seizures. However, when I shared this observation with my doctor, I felt he did not agree with me.

Warning signs

Before any seizure, I can sense its onset about 10 seconds in advance, which helps me prevent falling and sustaining serious injuries.

I am searching for a specialist doctor in this field, but I have not been able to find someone who truly understands my problem. Please help me find the right specialist.
