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

Hello, my name is Tiffany and I am new to the site. I also suffer from Complex Partial Seizures and yes, having them at night is quite common. I once awoke and was completely unable to even stand...my back was completely thrown out. It is a terribly confusing situation considering you more than likely will have no memory of what happened. If you are like myself, with the Complex Partials, I tend to also wander and have found myself waking in strange areas such as the bathroom or hallway, without knowledge of how I got there. It can be very frightening and at times dangerous. The best advice I can give is to just be aware of this and to make others aware also. I wish you the best!
