Does anyone else feel hungry after a seizure? I know I do lol! Or am I just greedy ;) joking!:pop:
 
Once I'm coherent enough after a T/C the first thing I do is a protein shake. Next is sleep. I find it helps with the muscle damage.

My throat is often so messed up from moaning and growling (I do both I guess!) that my roommates throw ice cubes in a blender and make me a "slurpee" of sorts- some of my chocolate soy milk or just some water in there; It's like eating (it was always really thick though I don't know how) a meal! I keep mini-bites of NutriGrain bars in my fridge for when I'm completely through the postictal phase. I'm famished- seizing is really like running a marathon!
 
OH MY GOOSHNESS YESS!!! First I sleep for a couple hours and then I wake up (once at like 4 in the morning) and I just eat, it really drains you. Once I went into school and the teacher asked us to write down what we had for breakfast in health. (This would be the time I woke up at 4 am to eat). I had fish, eggs, a box of starberries, cereal, french fries, orange juice, and some granola bars. (I had slept for like 16 hours...) And on the way to school I stopped at Dunkin Donuts. I didn't eat lunch though because I was so full.

But some times I get the opposite of hungry after a seizure and just feel like I'm full and every time I eat food it's like trying to eat after desert on Thanksgiving, that only lasts about a day luckily.
 
Hahaha Starfish that's a LOT of food!!

If I eat too soon after (I'm talking legit food though- not two Nutrigrain bars and a soy shake haha) I will feel so sick that I will actually be sick. I have to wait at least three to four hours before eating "real" food. This isn't usually a problem as I sleep for 5 hours after haha
 
I had a seizure last night (I'm so f-cked up right now...) and I guess when I was really postictal I went out to my kitchen and got a head of broccoli, a Nestle's Crunch Bar, poured myself a bowl (a BOWL) of salt, and grabbed a NutriGrain Bar (Thank God, the bar was normal for me post-seize lol). I took out the milk but I spilled it everywhere then left it on the counter and all over the floor lol

I ate the broccoli in my bed apparently (I know this from all the individual bits of it everywhere on my pillows), the crunch bar.....? Part of the salt- I probably licked it because there was salt-drool on my face- and the NutriGrain bar remained untouched.

I was okay with all this because I apparently wet the sheets while I was ictal. Just gathered that up, shook it like a rug, then tossed that sh-t in the washer.

Wham, bam, done.

Holy Jesus my head hurts. Going to go sleep away the rest of the day...
