Last night I was sitting at the dinner table with my Uncle, he had cooked a chilli (yummy) I was just about to start eating and I went into what I assume was absence seizure mode, the next thing I know I was sitting there with my mouth poring with blood and my Uncle saying "what on earth did you just do that for, that was a really silly thing to do" and I answered him "what did I do?" obviously I was aware my lip hurt, he said that I sat there and closed my jaw really fiercely hence biting the inside of my bottom lip. (I do not remember doing this)
It swelled up immediately, I had a real fatlip appearing, I went and looked in the mirror and the inside was bleeding like mad and going a dark purple colour. I went back to the table because I wanted to eat my chilli, but this proved a bit difficult, the next thing I know, I must have gone into another seizure I clamped down on my dam lip again, making it twice the swelling and twice as painful. My Uncle just sat there looking at me in disbelief and said "What the hell do you keep doing that for?" I said "Its not like I meant to do it", I mean who on earth would want to sit there and deliberately do this to themselves? I gave up trying to eat my chilli

GRRRRRRRR family.
After about an hour or 2 the swelling started to subside leaving me with a bright purple inside bottom lip. But after these 2 odd seizures I seemed to spend the rest of the evening and night with a really bad headache, sore jaw under my face and I felt really tired. I still have a bad headache and a bright purple/red lip and it is nearly 24 hours later.
Luckily I spent the evening chatting to Robin which helped to keep my mind alert and focused on other things. But I have never hurt myself during an absence seizure before, I do have a tendency to slightly nibble the inside of my lip during seizures, but nothing bad. I was wondering if this sounded more like a complex partial? or if anybody else has physically hurt themselves like this during an absence?
