Back-to-back seizures
Wed, 09/29/2010 - 23:25I started a thread about myoclonic jerks a few minutes ago as well; perhaps it is related to what I am saying in this next post:
Today I had 3 back-to-back seizures inside of an hour. My sz are partials that can secondarily generalize, and when they generalize I don't lose consciousness, but will feel out-of-it along with varying degrees of fatigue for anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours.
So during today's sz I'd barely recovered from one, then another would hit. I was scared, because shortly after my seizures first started 4 months ago (and before I was medicated) I was in status E. and ended up in the hospital for 2 weeks and on IV dilantin for 5 or so days.
Except for lingering fatigue and tension/electricity in my lower back. butt and head/neck, this current "event" has long since stopped. Is this back-to-back "event" a form of status E.? Has anyone else had back-to-back seizures? If so, what was the explanation you were given for what was going on??
Thanks for any help.
