Ladies: I need your help! I have had several episodes of, what feel like small seizures over the last few days. I called my onc. and a head CT was scheduled. I had that yesterday, and it didn't show anything. But, of course that doesn't answer the question as to why this is happening. I feel like I am asleep when these happen - arms, legs, face muscles twitch uncontrollably. Then, I wake up. I am exhausted. I have suspected that I have diabetes, as I have a number of symptoms. My onc. did bloodwork a few weeks ago, as I went to her with some concerns about how I was feeling. She said that the blood work was fine. But, isn't there a more definitive test involving fasting and drinking something sweet, or something like that, to test for diabetes? I have excessive thirst, excessive fatigue, my feet are tingly all over and hurt, and now these weird seizure type things. I am fearful of driving as I don't know if I should be alone if I am having this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
