WHAT DO YOU FEEL AFTER SEIZURES

Mon, 04/12/2010 - 15:27

I was wondering what people feel after a seizure, and how long that feeling lasts...I have been diagnosed with TLE, I get simple partial seizures....When I get seizures it usally lasts for a week on and off, then I will be fine for maybe 1 month...Can anyone please explain to me when you get a seizure how long does the faze last and the after effects....

I wake up feeling ok, but exhausted like i cant get enough sleep or something, i dont knpw if its the side effect of the meds or WHAT!!!! one hour im fine, the next im just feeling completely out of it....i start by getting nervous, my tongue starts getting numb n other parts of my body like my fingers, i start to shiver(hands mostly) get really anxious, sweat, i cant concentrate, cranky, short tempered, cant talk to people, spaced out n those feelings last for hours then i feel just fine(well i think), because after an hour or so (well depends when it decides to hit me) i start to panic all over again. I get those feelings on/off through out the day/night! been feeling this way for weeks now! im not even sure if its just psychological (i know i can control it but i cant!) it is just frustrating that u have no control over it, this "aura" whatever u wanna call it. sometimes by just keeping busy i get the feeling that im doing better, but then again, it comes out of nowhere- its just so tiring n soooo frustrating that when u think ur doing well but then all of a sudden, ur just back to square one. It hasnt been this bad for a long time 3yrs to be exact, for the past month or 2 its been hell for me n it just keeps getting worst @#$%##$%^*&^% MEDSSS!!!! been feeling like crap n noone around me seem to understand what im going through expect that im moody n being rude, like u said just jumpy. The worst part of it is taking the meds when uve done every test possible over n over and still they have found nothing. WHAT IF I DONT HAVE EPILEPSY?! - oh n whats even worst my doctor increased the dosage of my meds, so imagine that!!!! C.R.A.Z.Y
