Hi everyone,
My name is Abby and I am a 21 year old college student. I was diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy when I was 17, and so was my twin sister (strange, I know). They attributed it to us being born prematurely. Anyways, I have been having these horrible night time episodes that come...
Hi everyone.
I've had epilepsy for 12 years, had been seizure free for 8 until a few weeks ago when I had a nocturnal seizure. Or at least I think I did, I had never had nocturnal seizures before. So I gained courage, since I hate to watch videos of seizures, and looked up nocturnal seizures on...
Hello,
I'm looking for some direction, as I'm currently quite concerned that my 7 year old son, Quin, is having simple/complex partial seizures.
About a year ago, he started coming into my room at night, sobbing and inconsolable. He would be wide-eyed and often had his hand clamped over his...
Well, the other morning I woke up on the bathroom floor with a goose egg on my head, a bitten tongue, and a torn up/bruised shoulder. Unless my cat decided to unleash hell on me while I was sleeping, I had a nocturnal. I thought I had eaten dinner the night before, but when I walked into the...
Hi, my name is Jerry. I did not know much about seizures nor have I ever been around someone having a seizure, until this morning. My boyfriend Will and I have been together nearly a year, I met him in March 2013 and one month later he had a nocturnal seizure due to being very anxious earlier...
Good morning,
I find that 95% of my seizures occur in my sleep, resulting in partial and secondarily generalised seizures. The other 5% occur shortly after I've awaken, at least within in the next 90 minutes following awakening (or when I'm getting up in the middle of the night to go to the...
Hi,
I just had multiple nocturnal seizures last night right before I woke up, which I would categorize as tonic, because my muscles twitched and I felt like I couldn't breathe for a second. Now I have a slight headache this morning. I'm going to attribute it to my having 4 hours of sleep the...
Hi. My name is Melody. I'm 26 years old.
I've had what i thought was sleep paralysis pretty much as long as i can remember. Either as i'm falling asleep or waking up sometimes I get the sensation that there is pressure on me. All i can do is open and my close my eyes. If i open my eyes, i...
Hello. I'm 21. Originally a neurologist diagnosed me with epilepsy at 13 years old. I doubted the diagnosis, thinking it was a psychogenic reaction to a stressful situation at school, and convinced my parents to refuse meds. I don't remember the details of what kind of seizure they thought I...
