seizures at night
Mon, 01/03/2005 - 18:50I have a question to ask anyone out there. I have complex partial seizures. I do not know what happened, but this morning I woke up and my back was killing me. I would like to know if it is possible if someone like myself could have a seizure at night, and hurt their back by doing something to it? Reason I ask this is because I did nothing that I can think of that would have hurt my back this much

Hi
I have control of my Tonic Clonic seizures but when I was not in control I would have seizures and sometimes fall out of bed leaving me with an aching back and extreme fatigue for a few days. There is some possibility that a seizure may cause the body to jerk just the wrong way and pull a muscle. My lawyer once asked me if I had anything like that when I was considering a lawsuit for a rear end collision.

My Wife started having what sounds like the same exact issue when she was 26. She is 28 now and is still only having them at night.
Its odd how simular your story and ours seem. She has them about the same frequency as your son, and they are usually right after we go to sleep, or right before we would normally wake up. She has had 1 while taking a nap.
I would love to hear about your experience since this post was made. Email me jack@lcsnc.org
