Is the amount of med's you take for your partials the same as for any other seizure? I'm between neuro's at the moment & my PC doc is managing my meds.
Do you feel lethargic the day after a seizure?
Also, do you find your family & friends don't take you seriously because you don't completely lose consciousness? It is hard to describe how I feel. I can't think clearly, thoughts are jumbled, what is happening is familiar yet I am frightened, don't know what I'm supposed to do or how to react, I just stand or sit in a stupor, feeling surreal. If I was driving I don't think I would know what to do or how to react. That's why I haven't driven for awhile. After it passes usually a bad headache, & fatigue.
I know that's a lot of questions. When trying to describe what my partial seizures feel like I've had my husband say "I do that all the time". or "I go into a room & forget what I went there for. I try to explain that's not how it feels at all, but I can see he doesn't understand. I told him I think if he experienced one he would call 911 if he could remember how.
Thanks for letting me vent & for your comments.
