Help please....DW has a new problem

May 7, 2006

Hi all,

It's been a while since I've posted. We are in the middle of calving and

kidding season here in KY.

Last night, Dewayne (DW) had a spell that is new for us and I wonder if it could

have been a SLE.

He had excruciating stabbing pains from the back of his head(base of his skull)

that shot over his head into his left eye. When I found him, he was on his

knees and almost ready to pass out. He told me that he couldn't see anything

for 20-30 seconds. It was all black. I held his head up from hitting the

concrete floor and our little son called for help. (Thank God for all of the

family on the creek)

We got him back to the house and he refused to go to the hospital. This morning

he has a dull headache and says where it started at the base of his skull is

very sore.

Is this familiar to anyone? We had just had a little episode which I thought

maybe caused it.

I was trying to sort through the 50 plus does and kids and put them in their

stalls for feeding. Two of our livestock guardian dogs got into a horrible

fight. (had never happened before) Of course, I tried to make them stop but do

know better than to grab at them while fighting. DW heard the noise, came to

the door and starting screaming at me to get away from them. As he opened the

door, one shot out of the barn and hightailed it away. Then less than 2-3

minutes, the pain happened.

I almost thought it was caused by him screaming so loud trying to yell over the

ruckus.

I know and apologize for this being long.....just trying to make sense out of

another possible problem.

A big blessing is that we do see his main neurologist tomorrow morning. But I

wanted to check with you all cause I take alot of info from this wonderful group

to the drs. with us.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Lynda R.
