I had my first bad seizure at work this past Friday. Luckily I work in a medical facility and our nurses said it was a very bad one and lasted a long time. I don't remember anything until I came to in the hospital. It is now Tuesday, four days later and I am still fuzzy headed and confused. I have severe pain under my right eye up into my forehead. I moved to Florida last April and have no family here. I feel alone and scared.

hugs, sanray. I am so sorry that you are feeling this alone, that is a horrible feeling. i hope it is helping to come here and be a part of DS.

i have been a member of DS for awhile, years but this group is new for me too.

i had a bigger and different seizure this past.. Monday into Tuesday night and it scared me a lot - not sure if i have been having more seizures than i have been aware of.. it is a very worrisome feeling, i know.

so grateful for you that you wwere at the medical facility and w/people who better knew what to do, wow, that was helpful but i'm sure still frightening for you.

more hugs, Lilly

Hi hon, I have had 9 out of no where, it is truly scary, more so when you are alone. I was blessed on two counts, my mom was a nurse, and my friend was an EMT so the two of them knew what was going on immediately. But that doesn't stop the fear when its happening to you. I know this is an old post but I'm new here so please excuse me; Take care of yourself and know that your not alone. I was told that I have what is called idiopathic epilepsy because the EEG and MRI were both clean. Take care, be strong, know you are never alone.
