Nocturnal Seizures / Night seizures
Wed, 09/30/2009 - 19:45Hello, My name is Danny I am 27 and have been dealing with seizures since 2004. Never before that date have i had one sigh of seizures. it has been one of the worst and hardest battles i have been dealing with also. one questions i have is that the seizures i have are weird, starting like this all the seizures i have had to this day were at night after i had woken up from sleeping, i would wake up have to pee and in a sweat which is weird. also i have never had any during the day but i have had several grand mal seizures at night like i said. so if anyones has any ideas why this happens please let me know and hope all of you are doing better with your epilepsy.

Thank you..I hope so too.
We actually set an alarm up that will wake up my husband if I try to get up..so I won't hurt myself anymore.
They also put me on a sedative at night to keep the seizures away and help me sleep, until I am up to my full dose of lamictal.
I hope u figure yours out soon and hopefully they will give u the 24 monitor, that really helped me.
But no driving for me now till they lget this all figured out.
Best of luck
Emily

Hello Emily
I need to push my consultant for a night time eeg as all tests both in 1999 and 2004 came back inconclusive, ive been quite lucky with injuries until last year when i dislocated my shoulder and damaged it quite badly requiring surgery.
Hopefully making some minor adjustments at home will avoid any further injuries...fingers crossed...hope you don't encounter many more accidents
