BLACKOUTS/SEIZURES. Why me? What now?

**BiK3RChiK** · 19th June 2009, 09:21

Man, that isn't good! I know it's not the same, but when you are up to it, maybe some good sport on here will take you for a pillion ride to blow some cobwebs out

and here's hoping someone gets to the bottom of the cause for you...

Sounds like bad news.. but the cup is at least half full.. you are OK, you didn't hurt anyone, and M is with you. Hope things get better.

Shit bad news.. Sorry to hear a story like that from any Kb'er... but on the bright side you are here, alive, no one on your conscience and not even any property damage.... for a really really bad day you did alright!!!

Good luck with the tests.

It happened to a guy I worked with almost exactly the same as you although he finished up driving into the end of his boss's garage when driving the boss's wife home.Turned out he had had a small stroke. The good news is that he did his time off the road, came back to full and normal health and has been driving instructor for these past 7 years with no further incident.

My thoughts are a mini stroke Baz. After what Ive been through recently I can sympathise. Have had to fend for myself but even with a cast on foot and stray clots floating around they havnt told me I cant drive . Have opted to not ride until my bloods have sorted out as I stilll get dizzy spells when standing too long..all the best with the outcome matey.

Thoughts are with you Barry ... I know its tough when you don't know what is happening .. or how to get there ... keep pushing your doc to get over the bump of diagnosis ... remember though this may be a one off .... thinking of you and Melissa .. I am so glad you have someone good to look after you!!

Geez you don't sound too flash either! What's been going on young lady, have you not been looking after yourself?

No good, I hope they find out what it was, and sort it out so you can get back on the bike aye!

I know someone who blacked out while driving on the open road, unfortunately he had passengers with him, he was fine but his friend ended up mentally and physically handicapped in the accident and will never have a great quality of life. I am glad that your accident wasn't more serious.

I had a trapped nerve in my spine without even knowing it several years ago and i had several fits and spasms causing me to be totally mind fucked and blank (some say im still like that) but when the cause was found (the nerve ) i was cured by a physio program that took a while but worked a treat . Now i have to have a neck manipulation every year just to keep everything in line so it wont happen again. The spine is a funny part of the body and can cause all sorts of ailments. I hope its as simple for you and you can be reassured by all the feelings for your health by the members here.
I hope its all sorted soon and you can get a clearance to ride your fun sounding projects.

everyday is a little bit closer the support network is great guess no one likes too see a fellow biker knocked of their perch....there is a few bikes too do and test ride so maybe sending out SOS for some TEST PILOTS its not the riding down the hill that concerns me its the pushing the bikes back up the hill
