i have been blacking out... losing time... seem confused and disoriented when i come back from where ever my mind goes (they are short black outs.. maybe a minute or two) sometimes i'm driving when this happens and for a moment i don't know where i am, or where i am going. and my memory is terrible... my husband can tell me something and then withing just a few minutes i can't remember a thing he said... same with my kids, it's that way with everything.
i honestly feel i'm losing my mind. i have an appointment with my family doctor on monday. that's the soonest he can see me.
has anyone ever had anything like this?

It sounds like you could have a form of epilepsy or hypoglycemia or diabetes. Could it be narcolepsy? Seriously, do not drive any more until you get this problem under control. I doubt you are losing your mind, but it sounds like you have a medical problem that needs attention quickly. If it happens again over the weekend, please consider going to the ER.

It does not sound like Lyme ailment is the reason to your indications. on an identical time as fever would be a symptom of Lyme, diarrhea, nausea, and itchiness are no longer indications of Lyme ailment. Likewise, the indicators you describe as a progression are no longer indications of Lyme. that's significant for physicians to appreciate a thank you to apply Lyme ailment attempting out. i've got blanketed a link under to the schematic for attempting out. you will see that considering you have been having those indications for better than 30 days (as you state, it is been approximately 3 months), if your physician felt it suited to attempt you for Lyme, he or she could have first ordered and EIA or IFA. If this screening try got here back beneficial, he or she could have in straightforward terms ordered the IgG--no longer the IgM. it is via fact the IgM frequently finally ends up in fake positives if performed in sufferers who're no acutely sick with indications favourite of Lyme ailment. in all probability, your IgM became into an occasion of such fake positives. i might propose searching for an option prognosis (possibly evaluate seeing a coronary heart professional) and does not pursue any medical care with regards to Lyme.

Obviously only a doctor can tell you for sure. Could be seizures. Your family doctor might want to schedule some tests or refer you to a neurologist. Try not to worry until you get some real information!

This could be a sign of severe stress. Have you had a lot of stressful occurrences/circumstances in your life recently? Or it could be a symptom of something more serious. Yes, you need to talk to your doctor as soon as possible. Good luck, love!
