My seizure's are getting stranger and stranger

[TeeTees]

The 'normal' seizure I have consists of generally happening not long after I fall asleep....

...they start with an aura, and then I usually have the seizure. After this I tend to find that I wake up early too !!.....and you know what lack of sleep leads to, huh ?!

Well, this morning (after a few good nights sleeps) I woke up - well kinda only opened one eye, God only knows what time, to find that I'm actually IN a seizure ! I took my fingers and placed them on my throat to get a reading of my heart rate, and it was beating soooo fast that it was almost more of a blur. I thought should I get out of bed ? - as this is my normal 'routine' of getting away from the BAD area, but the seizure just disappeared.

When I got up this morning, I remember it happening and was pretty disturbed that I've had a 'brand new' type of seizure experience, and was just wondering if anybody else has had this kind ?

Have you every been checked for sleep apnea or cardiac problems?

TT ... quit copying me!

I hate to say this, but do not try to get
out of bed, just lie there for a few minutes
and let it pass. This is what I mean when
I posted how I had to describe it to the
Neuros how I felt like being beaten up by
a gang with baseball bats during the nights
and not being aware of it, and having auras
of lights.

If you go back to the POLL - and look at the
visual - from what I've typed in from my
experience, and the others (some of them
are nocturnal) - do any of them ring a bell?

Unfortunately Seizures Do Change!



I am not a happy camper when my Doctors
were telling me that; so you DO need to keep
your Doctor up-to-date on this and keep a log.
Sometimes I don't even KNOW I had any, but
they've been witnessed by others, but I know
I've had them because of its side-effects (the
post-ictal lingering).

Sometimes its a result of too little or too much
meds or being off of meds.

All of this would have to be discussed and going
over with the Doctors.

But lately I've noticed (not just with me) a HUGE
bombardment of folks all over having been bomb-
arded with seizures since the near-end of February
and it began to increase in March and has been on
the rise.

I've read in forums where people who have been
experiencing unusual auras that they haven't
experienced before, and experiencing more E's
than before, or different types of E's than before,
so you are not alone!

You really need to be checked out thoroughly!
