I saw this thread while I was googling Simple Partial Seizures and after reading some of other's experiences with how they are reacting to a seizure, my seizures I had in the hospital were the same way!
Im really wanting to get with my dr and let him know exacly everything that took place during my seizures while I was in the hospital for my VEEG. Im finding that instead of having my complex partial seizures which Ive always had in the past, I had the simple partial seizures. I was alert through out the entire seizure, I had the Nausus stomach pain before the seizure, along with numbing and tingling in my hands and feet. Once the seizure began, the numbing sensation went to by face, and all over my body. I can hear everything people are asking me and telling me, but the jerking of my body I cant control. It first started out on a certain side of my body, but the more I had, the jerking went to all over my body. My back would be arched, and my hands would be turned outward, stiffened, and by the time the seizure was over, my whole body felt weak, and heavy. My legs alone felt like they weighed 1000lbs each! I remember needing to go to the restroom and the nurses having to help me, I was so weak, I couldnt barely get out of bed by myself.
I have a follow up appointment with my neuorologist May 25th. His office set me a appointment with a psych dr for in a couple of days. I really dont think I need to go, but Im going to go anyways. My dr thinks these seizures are stress related, but like I told him before, I never had these seizures before I was taken off my medication cold turkey to do the VEEG. I was put back on the Keppra XR on the 4th day of the VEEG, and my last seizure occured two days after. Since then Ive had no more seizures.
My gut is telling me that these were simple partial seizures.
