Epilepsy & Seizures Support Group

On the Brite side: you didn't have far to fall. You didn't injure yourself. Maybe this would be a Good Time to Consider 'spy' cams in your Living room, bathroom. Radio Shack sells them. :) Yard sales can provide a small TV or they can hook up to your Big Screen. I Think! :) You can chek yard sales, thrift stores for a baby monitor w/ video/audio, as an 'alternative or for your bedroom?

Note this in your Journal! Include foods/bevs consumed. All activities 24 hrs prior & up to the incident. HMMM> You were on the couch. TV on? Possible Trigger. Laptop? Same. :( For some people. You are 'legally' blind, but, lighting could still affect you.

How was your tongue? This is a Sure sign you seized. Or Muscles. Sore or just bruised from falling.? :( Out for 2 hrs? Could be post-ictal time.

Jason, How has your blood pressure been? Do you know?

blood pressure has been borderline for about 2 years. No tv was not on musles are always sore after a seizure. Yes my ribs shoulder & ribs hurt & now that you mention the tongue it is sore. no broken bones. Laptop was not in use at the time. not sure of what i had to eat.

They do sell Home BP kits. I got one that's a Cuff. :) Richard Simmons??? Mite be Wise to chek, at least once a week??? :( High BP can trigger seizures, I believe. I know Low Blood Pressure does feel like a seizure. Thank Goodness, I don't pass out. Just legs turn to gel, go down. Eyes roll in head, while feeling very Spacey. :( Lasts a few seconds. Sooo tired afterwards. Need to Sleep. :(

Hope you do Better Today! HUGS!

I think a lot of it is related to sleep or lack thereof

Feeling better today though

Glad you are feeling better. Yep, lack of sleep can be a trigger. Big Time. Unnecessary Stress to your system!!! :( Only You can Correct That! :) HUGS!

Although it would be a lot easier if I didn't have the side effect thati have from my meds. Insomnia. :(

BT, sorry that happened. Sounds like a seizure. Go see a Dr. right away.

Clayzon,
This was the first one in several months about 8 to be exact. I am also under the care of a Neuro. Been in contact with the office & been having trouble sleeping. Found out it is a side effect of some of my meds. Concerned yes but not excessively.
