seizures at night

Mon, 01/03/2005 - 18:50

I have a question to ask anyone out there.  I have complex partial seizures.  I do not know what happened, but this morning I woke up and my back was killing me.  I would like to know if it is possible if someone like myself could have a seizure at night, and hurt their back by doing something to it?  Reason I ask this is because I did nothing that I can think of that would have hurt my back this much

   hi

   Yes very much so and am only realizing the connections I have bad discs from "work" and went through mo,s yrs, of light duty therapy etc. and wished I would have connected the two then when I was with a lawyer settling a claim on my back because the application for ssi would have been made then by them when I could remember something longer than 24hrs.

  I have and do have gmals that have left me black ,not black and blue but truly black bruised real bad all over but sometimes ecspecially my back shoulders .

  I am know filing a claim and will use this as a big part of it because as others said about days I say 8 days to recover from one sz. ?????

 I just had 3 in one day plus auras , and partials so how long to recover lol. ?????

   Plus the connection to my back which hurt for a week and would still hurt if DID anything like work  very frustrating and may be a bit more painfull to prove .

  I had a gmal in my sleep every weekend /fri. night for yrsand went back to work mon. in the heat ,stress and just general business of being "ME".   I feel lucky because others are hurt bad . but I had a gmal recently and had a fight with the coffee table that beat me real bad ,cut my eye. mouth incontintent, very bad.

   I also slept with my dentures and broke them in 4 places also biting my tonugue real bad ,most recently I had 3 gmals while alseep on a veeg in the hosp. and was incontinent and hit my head real hard on the bed. whew and it has left me with a headache for 2weeks. ???.   Yrs ago I was drunk when I slept and had sz about every time. 

   So yes others do this too. I did think it was always a gmal but now know I have had episodes of all types when in bed or napping ,just sitting up , just getting real hot then cold then sleep , waking with headaches when i know I did not have gmal . going into aura the min caffeine hit my system in the a.m. .

   So don,t feel alone .   Rick
