Yesterday, I had a seizure at school. I feel really embarrassed. I couldnt go in today, I still feel weak and sort of disoriented. Im really embarrassed. This is my first in a long time. I forgot my meds the night before and took them as soon as I woke up but I quess it was too late.
 
Aw, I'm so sorry l_f, I hope you feel better soon. If it's anything like here temperature-wise (90s), it's not a bad day to be lying down at home. Stay cool, make sure to stay hydrated....
 
Sorry, little fruitcake. That was a bad day. Be easy on yourself and take a day to rest. It'll all be better soon. I'm hoping that people will understand - no need to be embarrassed.
 
had a bad day

its been two days now and I really need to go back to school but I still feel soooo weak. I'm resting as much as possible. I'm sad.
 
Make sure you are getting enough to eat and drink (I know, that's tough in the post-seizure days). It will help you start to feel better. The resting is good for you -- your body needs to heal.
 
I remember going through similar experiences when I was younger.. My first grand-mal was in band class.. I was 14. I remember feeling emberassed, scared to go back to school, I even quit band (what a mistake!). Hang in there, dont be too hard on yourself. There is nothing we can do to erase/change what's going on.. just deal with it the best way we know how. Just keep moving, one foot in front of the other. In other words, one day at a time!
 
I am sorry to hear this. I had a few seizures in school but tried to leave as soon as I got the aura. My interpreters would usually be able to tell an Aura because I would loose focus or not be able to respond as well.
One time in my college class, I tried to leave and asked my interpreters to please let my teacher know that I'm leaving due to a seizure coming on.
She pulled the table away, where I was sitting at as if I was going to move around a lot or go into a GM which I don't have. Just CP/complex partials. She then dismissed class 30min early and I found myself with EMS in another building as people passed me by. Probably wondering what happened with me. I refused to go to the hospital just to sit there for 4hrs doing nothing..

Sorry for your seizure happening in school- its never good. Its always embarassing..

Take care
