Symptoms after a seizure

Tue, 05/19/2009 - 05:35
Most often I have nocturnal seizures but occasionally they do happen during the day.  Does anyone experience a general muscle achiness from head to toe?  Sometimes it is so bad I cannot go back to sleep even though I am exhausted.  As well as feeling like you have been clenching your teeth.

It could depend on your state/where you live. I know for me, I have to be seizure free for 6 months before they will consider letting me drive again. I hope your daughter is okay. I have had several seizures while driving and I thank God I had safe endings with each, but the last one, way to scary to consider driving again. I don't want to put anyone else in danger.

I have general muscle soreness as well. I also feel dizzy and light-headed and nauseous. And I also feel like I'm clenching my teeth--I am told I bite my tongue while having seizures. I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way!
