After effects of a seizure

Tue, 02/15/2005 - 14:56
I recently had a breakthrough seizure on the bus (I'd missed my meds) and I'm just wondering what the after effects are for people. I must've fallen because I have bruises and my muscles are killing me. The biggest issue is that I've not been able to sleep and I'm not sure if that's because I'm back on the meds or just stress over what happened.

Reading your email made me so sad because just knowing how you feel after a seizure and about the sore muscles really got to me.

I have a 13 year old daughter who has seizures on a daily basis.  She has been on so many different medications and none of them have really ever worked.  They work for a while and then she's back to the seizures.  She cannot talk and I just wondered if you could tell me if there's a way that I can tell if she has sore muscles or not.

It's so hard for me to try to figure out what she needs and how she feels etc...  She's now on Keppra and Phenobarbital.  Do you have any reccomendations?

My prayers are with you.

 

Thank You,

Have you talking with your doctor about vagal/vagus nerve stimulation? Do you think that will help you daughter? It might help when she is older if she is too young for it?

I just had one last sunday, I feel like I was in a car accident. Happens every time. It's worse for me cause I'm very athletic and well built so when those jolts go through my body I am more sore then the usual person. I layed on the floor before I had the seizure but from the movement I brush burned my elbow and cut open my finger really bad.  My neck and back are killing me. Tylenol or aleve aren't even helping with the pain. I tried to combine tylenol and aleve cause the pain was so bad and I threw up. (Don't do this) I'm still sore days later and I know it will take me a full week to recover. The only thing that helps with the pain is percocets but I ran out of them.
