I have been wondering this for a while. I have simple partial seizures that develop into complex partials, and my seizures generally last around 30 seconds. Me and my doctor sometimes call the simple partial seizures auras just because it's quicker.
But here's my question. There are days where I wake up and I just feel off. I feel really on edge, but it's hard to describe. Kind of buzzed in the head, and crawly in the shoulders, and it comes in tiny little bursts, but over and over again, in a way where it feels almost constant. But it's super faint. It's only just strong enough for me to be able to feel that it's there. For me, this is an indication that a bad day might be coming. A bad day is when I have clusters of simple partial seizures all day long--20 seizures in a day sometimes. Thankfully, this is not common, but on days like this I usually just go to bed.
But when I get that edgy feeling, I know I am on the brink, and it will take very little to push me over the cliff. I will almost certainly have at least one or two seizures on a day where I wake up like that, but I will feel like that most or all of the day.
So my question is, is that edgy feeling also seizure activity? At what point does a feeling go from just a feeling to a seizure?
I was feeling this way yesterday, mildly so, but my meds and personal caution were enough to keep things at bay. But I had a seizure on Wednesday, and Hubby says I had a seizure Wednesday night, and then with how I felt yesterday... anyway, it doesn't seem to bode well to me, especially since this is happening *after* adding the Vimpat a week ago, on top of the other three I'm taking.
