Hi everyone,
I'm new here and relatively new to seizures and epilepsy.
I had my first seizure less than a week ago and have not yet been diagnosed with anything, but my doctor suspects epilepsy. I have had an ECG to check my heart (fine), blood tests (results tomorrow) and have been referred to the seizure clinic in my local hospital because I 'meet their criteria' for a first seizure/new epilepsy.
I was hoping if I posted details of my seizure then I may get some responses as to whether anyone recognises my symptoms and/or thinks it may/may not be epilepsy. I recognise that you're not doctors (though maybe some people here are..?) but feel you will probably, collectively, have a wide experience of seizures.
I will wait for some replies before I post details of the seizure in case you all think it's a stupid idea and I should keep that info to myself.
