Feeling like an idiot. Finally went a month without a seizure. Reluctantly decided to join my wife and daughter for a trip to Atlanta. Five nights in a hotel. Knew it was too much šŸ˜” The trip down took about 10 hours between getting to the airport, flying and checking in. Itā€™s too much. Had a seizure the first night and spent the rest of the time in the hotel room. If I had the strength I would have flown home the next day.
I believe the month I had seizure free had a lot to do with my fractured shoulder. Where I was unable to do much and was getting plenty of sleep.
Iā€™m done traveling for now.
((Rant over))
 
I'm sorry about the seizure. šŸ˜¢

Please don't beat yourself up over taking the trip - how were you supposed to know?? I hope once you got home you felt better quickly. **hugs**
 
Thanks CathyAnn šŸ¤—
It was a unique return once I got home. I experienced what a ā€œgood cryā€ feels like for the first time. Along with my own woes, I was mostly thinking about how awful it must be for my family to see me in such anguish.
I then transitioned into a state of blissful peace. Thankful for all I have and have done in my life. Music sounded incredible and the fresh air was invigorating. Especially after breathing recycled hotel A/C for five nights. This mentally upbeat and positive experience lasted for over a day with only 3 hours of sleep. I didnā€™t want the day to end. Simply wasnā€™t tired.
Thankfully I never reached the manic state where I have had daytime seizures. The Nayzilam rescue inhaler appears to be doing its job. Thanks again

We all have Covid. I might not of had a seizure after all. I may have misjudged my thc intake upon arrival home as well.

Iā€™m declining the 30 + day streak alive!!!

Well damn..and I bet that is part of feeling so crappy on vacation. As for the thc, it can make things worse if you're sick. At least it does for me.
 
Yup
I meant to say Iā€™m declaring (not declining) my 30 plus seizure free streak alive šŸ™„

Kinda wacky Iā€™d prefer Covid over a seizure. The whole family has it so no major precautions / changes in the house. Iā€™ll need to reschedule a few Dr appointments, but besides that my day wonā€™t change much.
