seizures at night
Mon, 01/03/2005 - 18:50I 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

well, i can say that i have the same your experiences. I had about 14 seizures in the last 2 years, always nocturnal, after 10-30 minutes I fall asleep. when I wake up the first thing I'll do is run to the bathroom to be sick, and then I'll go back to the bedroom to collapse on my bed. It feels like I've run a marathon. After that I'll spend the whole day sleeping and then through the night as well. The whole experience wastes between 3 - 5 days as they'll be spent either sleeping in bed or watching daytime tv. I'll not be in the mood to talk to anyone either over the phone or face to face. I'm on Keppra (2x1500mg) + Depakin (750mg), but it doesn't work.
