After effects of a seizure

Tue, 02/15/2005 - 14:56
I recently had a breakthrough seizure on the bus (I'd missed my meds) and I'm just wondering what the after effects are for people. I must've fallen because I have bruises and my muscles are killing me. The biggest issue is that I've not been able to sleep and I'm not sure if that's because I'm back on the meds or just stress over what happened.

I had a seizure while at the bus stop also. They called the ambulance because I black out for awhile afterwards. I was wearing my medical bracelet so they knew what to do.

Ever been too high for too long?  That's how I feel, still, 3 days after my last gm.  It had been a couple years, & I forgot my meds the day before.  Sucks that I can't skip a single day now.  Ever gotten stoned & noticed the segues between words, between situations, between settings?  It's like being caught in the tense anticipation of a scary movie, right before the monster appears around the corner, like being trapped in that hyper-alert state of anxiety every moment of every day.  The bumps, bruises, & soreness are nothing compared to the horrified, worried look on my beautiful fiancee's face.  Let's show our gratitude for the people around us, tell them & show them that we love them & appreciate them.  Stay strong, my brothers & sisters!  God bless you all!

After a seziure I am groggy, and tend to sleep the rest of the day... Depending on how bad the seizure was I will have bruises or split lip and a sore body for 2-3 days as well...
