Epilepsy (often referred to as a seizure disorder) is a chronic neurological condition characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures. It is commonly controlled with medication, although surgical methods are used as well. Seizures (or convulsions) are temporary abnormal electrophysiologic phenomena of the brain, resulting in abnormal synchronization of electrical neuronal...
I havent gotten a seizure in a year and a half. I recently got one while I was putting on a facial mask in the bathroom in front of my mirror. Then again while I was in a store on line. Ive felt a bit lost and confused for a few days. Is this normal? They were grand mal seizures. I know I should get alot of rest. What else do you recommend?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
After a seizure, yes, do get rest, and do eat healthy meals and juice. Stay away from caffeine, and alchohol. I haven't had a seizure in about 7 years, thank God..but the way I knew if I was out of the seizure, was when I could answer the question, "What's the date". They used to ask me that in the hospital, back during days when my seizures weren't controlled. Other than that, you've just got to wait it out, stay home. I mean, if you're out driving, and living life as normal...you might hurt yourself or someone else..ie, if you're driving, or operating heavy machinery etc. Though that might not be your scenario...I used to have seizures in the mirror to. It was a weird pattern. I'd go to the sink ,to put water on my face, because I always felt flushed before seizures. Also, pay attention to your body. If you're tired, sleep, if you're stressed, dont drink alchohol, or caffeine..of course no drugs...and talk to your neurologist. good luck.
