Hello everyone! I'm Laura. I'm 29 years old, from Boise, Idaho, and have been having issues with temporal lobe epilepsy since I was 17.
Yesterday morning I had a simple partial seizure followed an hour later by a complex partial seizure. Both seizures presented normally for me --the simple partial with intense feelings of deja vu and fear and the complex partial with staring and inability to communicate with my coworkers.
However, my postictal period lasted much longer than normal. It took about 6 hours before I was feeling like myself again. When I woke up this morning, I felt fine, but within an hour of starting work I'm feeling off again. I can barely concentrate, I'm having trouble remembering certain words, and I keep jumbling my sentences. Even my boss has picked up on my altered state.
I'm curious if anyone else with TLE has had extended periods of confusion after a seizure. Is this normal or should I be concerned.
