[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 612550, member: 11791"] Like some of the others... there's a whole list of medical possibilities that come to mind here, and while I'm sure you haven't posted an exhaustive list of tests and possibilities, I'd be VERY wary of the fast spin-off to a psychiatrist. Had it happen to an adult in our extended family... and they missed all the [B]medical[/B] symptoms until it was too late to do anything. Hers ended up being brain cancer. I know OF someone who had some of these symptoms, and it ended up being a leaking aneurysm. Any of the possibilities are scary, unfortunately. I'd be seeking 2nd and 3rd medical opinions before accepting a brush-off as a psychiatric problem. Here's some key words from your post that make me believe there has to be something medical: - last few weeks rapidly got worse - major headaches, - panic attacks, - sleeping spells (literally collapse in the middle of class), - extreme confusion, - memory loss, - complete loss of sensation in his limbs - The episode intensify every day Panic attacks and memory loss [B]can [/B]be psychological, but can also be physical if the problem is in the brain in any form. Most of the rest... I'd expect to be more likely to show up on the medical side of the equation. [/QUOTE]
