Broke a tooth during seizure :(

[MuayThaiFighter]

Same thing happened with one of my teeth at night. I recall waking up and feeling a really heavy clamping feeling. The next time I woke up I literally felt the pieces of one of my teeth. It was gross and pretty freaky. Nothing has happened since, but I hope you are alright.

Ugh, I just really don't want to go to the dentist!

Hi Tony! Yep, same here! I woke up dazed and groggy and picked out the pieces of my tooth to set on my nightstand. I was too wiped out to get up and check it out. I passed back out and woke up the next time with my shorts half on and I was holding my bra and shirt. So jacked up! I guess I should be glad it was a back molar and not a front tooth haha...I feel you on the dentist, I haven't gone in forever! My teeth are usually really healthy and I brush a couple times a day mostly because I'm so afraid of going to the dentist.

Have you thought about seeing a dentist to get some protection for your teeth? I mean dental guards or whatever or even the kind people who play boxing, football and other sports puts in their mouth? It won't be so bad if you wear it only when you sleep or just waking up, but it may prevent damage to your teeth.

You may want to see a dentist, and ask what they would recommend. This is just my opinion though. Good luck, and I hope you don't break any other teeth.

Thank you, notime....your opinion means the world to me. I hadn't thought about it before and didn't know they made such things but when I see my dentist to get my tooth fixed I will ask her. She's really knowledgeable about E and I'm sure she will take good care. I just haaaaaate to go. I'm so afraid of the dentist! The last time I had my teeth cleaned I had to take valium that she prescribed, just so I wouldn't freak out. I'm a horrible patient.

Hi,

I chipped my tooth too during a seizure. back in June 2013. I didn't reliaze it for a few days
I know... I could I not?? It was an eye tooth. I went to the dentist and they fixed it right away. AND then they said I need too come back for a check up and all that other stuff. GRR hate the dentist.
I had another seizure on the 7th of Sept. I remember feeling a little off but I ignored the feelings. I have a hard time letting people know I might have one.
It was one of the worst ones. I usually just black out and wake up just tired.
This one I could feel the aura during the seizure and it kept getting stronger.
I chewed up my tongue like raw meat.
I get really depressed after my seizures, and it takes me a week to feel like myself.
Anyone else get depressed after their seizures?

I usually get depressed, and since I am newly diagnosed with epilepsy; it's harder to accept. I was diagnosed back in June, and usually I've been having a seizure since for a while, but got worse around may to now like happens once a month, instead of two and I get upset when the medicine doesn't work. I am at maximum dose on Keppra XR, and it didn't stop my seizures now my neurologist is trying Lamictal, and it'll take a few months to up.

I just feel suicidal, down, and feel like I deserve it even though I probably didn't do anything to deserve. I often wonder what I did to deserve epilepsy, but I guess that's the depression talking. I hate it because that's another month that prevents me from driving. I don't mean to offend anybody with this, but I am agnostic and I don't really believe anything like karma that causes this. I guess what hippocrates said is true which was epilepsy is a natural cause. I try to avoid bringing up religion, but hope I didn't offend anybody.

Other than depression, I just hate my father being home or his girlfriend, and I don't like even telling my mother when I have a seizure. They are more worried about it than I am. My mother has to take anti-depressants because of it, and one time she rushed here because I had my phone on mute. Couple of times she even cried.. Go figure, that makes me more stressed out that people are worried about it than the seizure itself does. I even wrote a letter about hating life like a diary, and guess what? My father's girlfriend got it and showed it to him when I had a seizure go figure. They asked me about it, and it makes things worse... Nobody in my family understands how difficult it is. It's extremely embarrassing, and just stresses me out worse. It's like I have to help them relax from a medical condition that I suffer from, that's just weird... Sorry about the rant though.
