Is there someone who can stay with you right now to keep an eye on you and make sure you're okay? The wooziness could be the after-effects of the seizure, or also from medication. Do you think you might have injured your head in some way during the seizure? Or taken an extra dose of medication by mistake? Consider going to the ER to get checked out. Also, make sure you drink enough water -- sometimes after a seizure it's hard to drink, and the dehydration can make you feel lousy. I hope you feel better soon.

Amanda Beth!

Hello...just wanted to let you know that it's most likely a combination of your meds and a very long post-ictal (after-seizure state, like deja vu) period. Please log off your computer, climb into bed & sleep, OK? Take care!

Yes, the ER docs probably gave you a high dose of meds -- they tend to overmedicate in order to make sure you don't have multiple seizures in the ER. And they sometimes give what's called a loading dose -- higher than normal. So I agree with Ann T. -- your body is dealing with a lot right now, and rest is a great idea...

omg


I've read the info papers on what they've done and omg. They made mistake nd gave me shot in right arm the metal plate in wrist first time then when didnt seem to work hada give shot in left arm ridclous as they have it on record that they cant get blood from that arm and that shots dont go through right in right arm cuz of the plate. not only that they straped me down wich is not safe when person has szs also it could hurt me cuz of another issue i have.

Hey, Amanda Beth
Oooh! WHY?! Personally, I'd look up the name of the ER M.D. & techs who checked you out & then go back to the ER & ask them why they didn't bother reading your med recs...then again, I worry you'll get refused treatment if you need to go to the ER again(I'm knockin' on wood really hard that you won't)...when I had to go to the ER, they put me in a head restraint/head & neck 'stabilizer' (as the EMT's called it )& kept me strapped in from shoulder to ankle. I cried myself to sleep because I was terrified since they wouldn't allow me to see my mom...

You're right, better to play it safe. I just get agitated when EMTs & ER M.D.'s make things worse when they honestly don't mean to. And, if I upset you, my apologies. Take care, Amanda Beth.
