The feelings after a seizure.
Sun, 01/23/2005 - 10:41Topic: Family & Friends
Hi. I wonder if anyone can relate to how I'm feeling. 2 nights ago I had a bad seizure in my sleep. Almost all of my seizures are nocturnal. If I have them for a few nights straight I will start to have them while awake. Well the next day I just layed down. When ever I got up I got a strange feeling. Just like before I do have a seizure. So of course this is terrifying. I'm sure if anyone has felt like this that you can understand. Does this happen to anyone else??? Here is one more question. It's 2 days later and nothing tastes right. Could this be a result of biting my tounge?? Today has been a hard day. Nothing feels right. Just to hear that I am not crazy would help so much. I've stated before that I don't know anyone else who suffers seizures.Thank you.Stacey.

I have been told epilepsy, but I can relate. I just have the bad feeling for weeks and the medication prevents me from releasing stress in my brain that discharge when you do have a seizure. So I stopped taking it...at wits end!!

I would always have similar feelings/sensations when I would have nocturnal seizures. Kinda like I could't understand what was happening around me but I was aware that things were happening.
I've also always had a yucky metalic taste after having a seizure. It is caused by a chemical released by the brain during the seizure. It can take a few hours after the seizure to go away so I always swish with mouthwash a few times until the taste goes away.
