The feelings after a seizure.

Sun, 01/23/2005 - 10:41
Hi. I wonder if anyone can relate to how I'm feeling. 2 nights ago I had a bad seizure in my sleep. Almost all of my seizures are nocturnal. If I have them for a few nights straight I will start to have them while awake. Well the next day I just layed down. When ever I got up I got a strange feeling. Just like before I do have a seizure. So of course this is terrifying. I'm sure if anyone has felt like this that you can understand. Does this happen to anyone else??? Here is one more question. It's 2 days later and nothing tastes right. Could this be a result of biting my tounge?? Today has been a hard day. Nothing feels right. Just to hear that I am not crazy would help so much. I've stated before that I don't know anyone else who suffers seizures.Thank you.Stacey.

So funny. I thought perhaps I had written this, but years ago (my name is also Stacey).  Thank you for the post.  I have nocturnal seizures and had one the night before last. I’m still feeling strange.  Wanting to reassure you and am seeking support.  I hate how I feel afterwards.
