Hi im new to the forum and im sorry for the long post, my name is megan and im 17. I have suffered from absence seizures for four years now, i was managing with them without them interfering too much in my life. That was up until two weeks ago, i stayed over at my friends house and in the morning when i was in the bathroom i had a tonic clonic seizure, the only thing i remember is coming round to see my friend crying and hugging me and the paramedics who took me to hopsital, this really shook me up as i had never had a tonic clonic seizure before. In the past two weeks i have been put on medication and havent had one when ive been on medication.
The reason i am posting this thread is because im going out on saturday night for the first time since i suffered the seizure and im worried that it might happen again because i think the reason why i had it before was because i had a few of the triggers i was really tired because i work on a saturday, i was stressed and i had a bit of alcohol. Im worried now because im working on saturday again so i will be tired, im not having alcohol but im just worried it will happen again and i was just wondering how everyone else is with having nights out and if they ever feel nervous? x
