So the forum is down right now, but I wanted to start a new topic. So here I am typing it all down in Microsoft Word first! :woot:
So I just wanted to relay to you all a few things I have noticed since keeping my diary! *thanks all who suggested it and Meetz for her list*
First thing I noticed is that I have way less seizures when I eat regularly. Some days this week I recorded 15 absence seizures and 2 complex partials. *I seem to have figured out my normal types of seizures.* These are days where I will not eat from 8-5 sometimes longer because im working and busy.
The days that I do eat breakfast at 8, lunch at noon and dinner at 530, I have had on average 4 absence seizures and no complex partials. I think I may have come on to something here. *big grin*
The other thing I noticed is that I Have a really regular sleep cycle. Bed at 11pm and awake at 7am. 8 hours every night. Yet for about 2 months now I have felt that I have been having a really non-restful sleep. I’m out cold for those solid 8 hours, yet feel like I’m more tired when I wake up than when I went to bed. So I thought I just needed a bit more sleep. So I did an experiment
Starting on Monday I added an hour of sleep a night. So Monday I went to bed at 11pm as usual. Tuesday was at 10pm. Wednesday was at 9pm and Thursday was at 8pm. I felt no different waking up, and still did not feel an better. In fact the night where I only had 8 hours felt better than this morning when I had 11 hours. So here is my questions:
Is it possible to have absence seizures while sleeping?
If so is it possible to not notice?
Is it possible to have complx partials while sleeping?
If so how do those “look” as im not walking around and never remember waking up?
My theory is that if it is possible to have seizures while sleeping that my fiancée or I would not notice when we are in bed sleeping, Is that I have them a lot more at night. And the more I sleep the more I can potentially have, so getting more sleep is nto helping, but actually adding to the issue.
Any thoughts? Maybe even tips on how to fall asleep better. I have a new bed, only drink one cup of coffee in the morning and the occasional pop at dinner. Usually I stick to water or juice. I see a chiropractor every thurday night from a car accident on Christmas eve. I went from 3 times a week to once a week in a matter of almost 10 months. Someone told me to get my thyroid checked?
Sorry for the long posting! *grin*
