nocturnal seizures
Fri, 03/24/2006 - 14:21Hi all
I hope that you are all ok
I have a question that I hope you don't mind me asking.
When I have a nocturnal seizure I find that it take me 3-4 days to recover. I am physically and emotianlly exhausted. The right side of my ribs hurt and and so do the muscles in my neck and so does my back.
I find that when I have a day time seizure I do not ache quite as much as I do with a nocturnal and it takes me less time to recover.
I was wondering if anyone else finds that it takes them longer to recover from a nocturnal seizure then a day time one. If so could they think why this could be the case.
Sorry if I am not making much sense.
Thanks from
Honeyber

Jana,
After the not being able to move, speak or hear (but I could see and was very much aware) would pass, then the jerking would start (myoclonics), if I tried to stand, I would have drop seizures. This was all before I was put on medication. But the not being able to move, speak or hear is the one that was never given a name. The Hmmmmm-er. My mom told me my eyes would be opened really wide and look wild. I haven't had them since being on AED's, but I'll never forget them! Scary!

I sure will let you know. These seizures just started in 2004 when I was 28 yrs old. well my neurologist know they are seizures but he don't know what they are yet he said he do know I need to be on medicine so the seizures wont progress into some serious. I was so depress when he said I have a seizures disorder and told me I can't drive anymore. So I'm taking Trileptal 300mg twice a day.
