thanks all - the quick verdict is that we think she is a drama queen.
apparently she senses stress from me and internilizes it?
we have had a big and busy day so that probably hasn't helped. her last episode was the day my grandpa died.
the other thing could be she might be having mini seizures. or maybe tia's or small strokes.

the blood work is still out so will have to update that after work.

thanks again
and thank you Carrie for posting this!
