I had two stress induced seizures back in 2009, ten days a part, the second one almost killed me. I ended up back in the hospital this time for 18 days, 4 of which were in intensive care. It could have prevented but it wasn't.
I fractured my skull, and now have no sense of smell at all,80% of my taste is ruined, higher frequencies affected in one ear.This hasn't reoccured now, but I know for a fact it was stress induced. Zonegran and phenytoin at night and a minor sleep prescription to help me sleep. I could feel both of these seizures coming before they hit, nausea, weak, some what confused, then out cold. Stress induced, previous coma for 8 days back in 2003, can't go into details here.
Near fatal injuries, head trauma, now years, later epilepsy. Didn't that see one coming at all. Stress is a major trigger of seizures, no doubt about it. Every 100 minutes or so a person dies in the U.S. from a seizure. Find a medication that works and that you can live with AND TAKE IT EVERY DAY, AND TRY AND AVOID YOUR TRIGGERS.
