I slept bad and given the signs including wetting the bed which I've never done since I was a kid, among other things, I'm assuming sleep seizure.

do those with sleep seizures commonly have bed wetting? I can't really find much info online. Especially not today. Yuck.
 
I'm sorry Peter, no fun. :(

I don't think there are any statistics on how common bedwetting is with nocturnal seizures. It's just one of those things that might happen during a seizure. At least it lets you know the seizure occurred.
 
that's what I figured - at least it's a more concrete result than just feeling sore and weird in the morning
bleah
 
It doesn't occur as often now. Only life changes are the keppra and I pottie before bed and anytime I wake up while sleeping; even if I don't think/feel like I need to go.

Hint...I have a good supply of clean sheets on hand tho! :rolleyes:
 
Bedwetting is common for T.C.s no matter where or when. Is that what it was? If so I wouldn't worry too much about it. I thank the stars every time I come out of one that there was no bladder loss, but know that it's normal if it does happen.
 
yeah Qtown - a TC
I was never really aware that I had them at night until recently (new girlfriend staying over - though she was gone on that night)
since then I've had my classic post-TC feelings too including my hips and brain
lucky for me (I guess?) I've never lost my bladder during my tonic-clonics until now
 
Sorry to hear that :( I suffer the same damn thing. Day or night. The tonic clonics make me piss. Horrid horrid thing to happen! You have my sympathy! I have loads of clean sheets, and I always carry clean clothes and wipes. This for me is the worse effect. :(
 
I too wet myself during seizure .... I used to only have sleep seizures which have now changed to daytime ones ...but yea bed wetting Im sure is common amongst those who have t/c during sleep ... Its weather the person is to embarrassed to admit it ...

Hope you feel better soon x
 
It's only happened to me once, not in bed, but at a furniture store right before christmas a few years ago. Pretty embarrassing.

Odd question: but has anyone pooped during a seizure?
I've always been worried about the possibility.
 
During a Gran-Mal seizure I wet myself. A couple other times during night seizures.

Other than that, I've been good. "knock on wood".

:( I'm afraid to admit, yes once. But under different circumstances it would't of happened.

At the time I was working. I hated my job at that point. My boss(es) were
real jerks, most of my co-workers were lazy. I was in a really stressful position. At the time I was also looking for another job. Well it was winter, and I wasn't feeling well. During my break I went to the bathroom. I must have picked up the bug, because I had diarrhea. Once I was finished and cleaned up, I went back to work. But I soon had to go again. So off I went. Not less then a few minutes I got there, I was called back to work. I managed to get cleaned up and back to work quickly. Somewhere between bathroom and my work place I had a seizure (CPS). That seizure caused be to loose control of my bowels. :(

It only happened once.
