Seizures and Bladder Control
Sat, 09/18/2010 - 13:49
Once again I return to Epilepsy.com due to a new addition to my seizures.
As you have surmised from the subject line, bladder control has occurred during two nighttime seizures this year.
I assume both seizures are complex partial seizures (my signiture seizure); however, recent reading on this subject has led me to believe these seizures are tonic-clonic seizures.
If you are having the same problem, or have more information on bladder control - how to control a bladder (if possible), type of seizures typical with bladder control and any addditional information on this subject, I would appreciate your input.
At this point, any information willl be great help.
Best regards,

the last bad seizure I had, I still dont know what kind it was exactly.
first I got this bad arse feeling like I was going to die, then my heart started racing to speeds upwards of 300 beats per minute, so I called 911 b/c I thought I was dying of something....I couldnl't stand up because I lost muscle tone, sort of slipped to the floor, then I felt like I was peeing my pants, and then I watched in horror as my left arm and leg began convulsing. Then I just lay there with my heart racing and racing, limp and unable to move.
Turns out I didn't pee my pants even though I felt like I did.
i thought it was freaky, maybe the bladder is involved in this whole thing after all?

I do not know if this will help. I know there are meds for bladder control, but this may be an alternitive. Check out this site www.tena.us/women .
