had


I had seizures no matter if it was day or night. winter or summer. I can say being in the sun would bring them on more.

I can have seizures any morning, noon and night, any season of the year and more.
I do have to watch in the summer months because getting to overheated can trigger them.
I do have sleep problems, even now since being put on Trazadone at first it really helped me be able to sleep at least 6 straight hours without waking up now after being raised from 100 to 200 to 300 mgs. at bedtime I am still only managed to sleep maybe 3 to 4 hours straight without waking up at least every halfhour to hour.
I know such sleep problems don't help to keep the seizures under control either and I have those all year round.

There are no patterns except that whenever I have partial I have my period too - but I don't have seizure whenever I have my period.

I have seizures if I'm stressed, tired, if I have headaches, and before, during, and after my menstral cycle they are always worse. When it is my "time " of the monthI usually have multiple seizures a day

ems and written orders


Perhaps if you can show ems that the doctor said to use the recovery position. Otherwise, the default position is on the back. Verbal orders mean nothing. I had a doctor give me verbal orders to participate in in Phys Ed classes in high school. The rule was 'no written order, no participation'. I was already taunted and teased enough without learning how to play sports. I became locker room attendant.

without warning


Mine may be absence seizures, but they happen all the time and without warning. Unfortunately, when another epileptic at work died of Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy, some people became 'overly concerned' about whether I was doing alright.
(While there still are dingalings that believe in demon possession.)
