May have had a seizure the other day....actually not sure what it was. I use a wheelchair. I did wake up with a headache but had taken something already. I was sitting in it and then felt like I was leaning forward but wasn't know I wasn't doing so. Then the fatigue and a headache (continuing ? Or a new headache? Not sure)

Know it wasn't more than a few seconds but the fatigue let me enough that I was lying down and sort of asleep for a couple of hours.

As you know, it is hard to explain to others how you feel before or during or after a seizure, but that is as close as it is possible to put into words.

Hope you have all been doing well since I was last here.
 
I know exactly what to me it appears you say and feel. I have been there similar as you mention, and I feel for you.
 
Thanks.
I also have fibromyalgia and a variety of other types of pain. And it is so hard when someone asks me to describe it and also then to put a number when they say things like 'on a scale of one to ten' what level is it? Lets see, there is nerve pain that is a tingling pain...pressure on the eye that is another level' and a normal headache that is another level...Which answer should I give them? And it doesn't help that there are things that one type of pain is only helped by Tylenol, another type that only is helped by ibeuprofen.... I just decide which pain is the worst that interupts me from what I want to do and give them the pain level for that pain.

Has your day been at least ok? Mine has. I hope all of you are having good days and the week will be a good one for all of us.
 
Hi Uhura, welcome back. My wife seems to be doing OK now after a scare with not being able to refill one of her medications. She had to switch to a new med and so far it seems to be working.
 
I hope your wife continues to be doing well. And that you are doing well too.

One scare at a time is plenty. :)
 
Hello. I understand what you are saying. My complex partial seizures are SO ANNOYING. They occur w/o warning, & I've done MANY odd things during them. There have been at least 2 when I actually changed my clothes. I have SEVERELY burned myself AT LEAST 8 times, so now I cook only when someone else is home.
