seizures at night

Mon, 01/03/2005 - 18:50

I 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

I know you posted this some years ago, but I wanted to know how your son was doing. My son is 8 and has been having night seizures for the last 19 months. His are almost always at 5:30 am. He was seizure free for ten months, but just had another one. He has had the overnight EEG and it showed activity, so he will be on meds until it does not. He is currently taking Keppra. Please let me know how your son is doing. Thanks Lisa ewa124@verizon.net

Hi!  Prior to my husbands surgery in September for the last seven years all of his seizures have occured after dinner (usually 9:00 pm on, up to 12 pm)  he had one at 5 pm in those years.  The doctors thought it could be an uneven amount of medicine in his body and started giving him a mid-day dose but that did not make a difference.  I was curious if that was common in other people.  My sister also has epilepsy and all of her seizures were before 1 pm for years.  They related that to school and the stress of tests, etc.  I don't know.  I am curious if others have noticed a certain time connection.
