- Seizure Background
- My 27 year old daughter had a tonic clonic seizure on christmas eve. She has 3 kids ages 18mos. 7, 10, appparently she's been having these type of episodes though not as severe over the last 6mos. She has severe headaches and chronic back pain and was on Ultram. She was started on Keppra last week, and had another smaller seizure yesterday, while only my 10y/o grandson was here, I came over, but in the post-ictal phase, she took my 18mos old grandson into the bathroom to lay him down for nap. My son in law is scared to death for her to be alone with him all day, he's a nervous wreck, I work, she is still driving occas. even though we told her not too. She hasn't seen a neurologist yet, are we worrying for nothing, I'm afraid if she has an absence seizure or a tonic clonic seizure while driving, or alone with my grandson, she is mad, depressed, and angry at everything, she had to take a medical leave unpaid from work, she's an ER nurse, I'm a nurse too. Just don't know what to do, is it normal during post ictal periods to lose touch with reality to that extent.
