Hello!
I'm female, 52, and had my 1st ever seizure 5 days ago. I'm told it was a complex partial.
After a bit of reading, I'm just wondering about my recovery time.
I took a day off work(thinking that was sensible) but when I went back 48 hrs after the seizure thinking I was fine, I felt woolly headed and couldn't function, incorrectly processing work, couldn't even find the icon I needed on the computer.
Now 5 days later it's a bit better, but still feels like I'm thinking through glue and I'm nowhere near ready to return to work (Seeing GP tomorrow).
I take other medications which I'm thinking are compounding the problem: Lithium, Lamotrigine, Topamax, Thyroxine (& Nexium & Estrogen).
So, just wondered if a long recovery (?a week or more) was not uncommon for a 1st seizure?
And does anyone have a medication history as well, affecting it?
Thanks All!!
