I wake up feeling I have been hit by a bus! Depending on the severity of it, some times about all I can manage is sitting on the couch! If it is not that bad, then just a bad headache, and sore legs with confusion that will last at least half of the day.

Extremely tired and my body incredibly sore. Usually after 3 days I would start feeling back to normal. Keep in mind...a tonic clonic is incredibly draining.

Mentally I usually feel perfect. Like I've been reset. So I actually feel alert and can think straight, but physically I feel like a wreck.

I feel like I've been run over by and dragged by a bus, my body feels like every muscle has been pulled and I ache so bad. I'm the monosyllabic kid for a few hours as well, as anything other than walking about like a battered zombie for a while is impossible. When I do evolve into a human capable of speech and thinking, I find I'm covered in new bruises. Luckily I've not had one in a few weeks so 'yea me'

After nocturnal seizures I am mentally reset. I am physically tired, stomach upset, tired the next day. Sometimes directly before/after siezure occurance I become very depressed, especially if seizure happened during dream. I wish I could just accept the vertigo when it happens-my brain tries to stop it. Diet directly affect seizure occurances for me. The addition of lyrica has heped me control seizures. Good Luck!

Sounds like me, couldn't have said it better! Also I can't really talk afterwards, and when I can I'm not sure what I'm saying makes sense. Then when I can drag myself out of bed (they are usually nocturnal) I throw up for a half hour or so, and the rest of the day I'm laying on the couch.

Weird timing, had a seizure last night around 12:30. I remember being up at 1:17 and I destroyed a dividing wall between my pantry and my cabinets. I for the life of me can think of why I did it. Didn't realize at the time that I had had a seizure. My guy called me this morning and told me I had had a seizure. I knew something was wrong but thought I had pulled my back the day before. I'm at work today, mentally not 100%, body feels like I worked out at the gym for 2 hours without streching 1rst. Can't wait to go home!!!

New and searching for info on nocturnal seizures. Is that the same as 'tonic-clonic'? Early morning is the only time I have my seizures and I use to have 2-3 in my night. They are pretty well controlled by Tegretol now although I will have a breakthrough seizure once every month or so. They sometimes will wake me up and and I feel somewhat nauseous, but never actually get sick. The next morning my husband will tell me I've had a seizure but I almost always can tell by the headache and slight confusion. The worst is the feeling I have for the next 5-7 days. I feel as Chris515 explains, "I'm not sure if what I'm saying makes sense." I can still go out and walk the dogs and go for my run the morning after (to try to clear my head), but I feel like I'm not moving like my body is supposed to move. If I have to go to work, I feel self-conscious as if people know I'm acting strangely. And I don't have my usual appetite.

everyone thinks i should be back to normal the day after my grand mal seizure but it actually takes me about a week to get back to feeling normal again. i am tired and sore all over

HATE NOCTURNAL T/Cs. They are typically what I DO have, and they tear me up to no end. I'm in bed for 24 hours, and I am jello afterwards. I don't know who anyone is...except 2 people....and not even my own kids are among those 2.

I tend to rip every muscle, and usually break at LEAST one bone in the process, so I hurt...........And then there's the bitten tongue. I bite through it all the way on both sides, completely through.

It takes me about a week to be able to think clearly, and like a normal adult again....but even when I can, I still can't talk! So, communication sucks for about a month or so.

Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.....

I only have nocturnal seizures, and I realy feel rubbish after them. I don't recognise anyone, am absolutely terrified of everyone, to the extent that I scream if they get too close to me. I generally pull muscles in my legs and shoulders, so am painful and stiff for a few days. I also feel very hazy and slow, kinda like my brain is in some kinda fog. I can't find words and generally feel quite depressed aferwards.

[trillium]

splitting headache when I lift my head off the pillow (headache also if I bend over), my brain is a bit off / slow, mouth/ tongue is sore (I have braces, so that's a lot of fun), body is achy (not as sore as if it were a daytime tonic clonic), lasts 3 or 4 days.
