Seizures and one-sided weakness
Fri, 01/02/2009 - 08:19Out of idle curiosity, has anyone had this? I'll notice some mornings that my right side will be weak when I wake up. Not profoundly so, but enough to get my attention and make walking a bit interesting.
While not formally dx'd yet, I'm pretty sure I've been having nocturnal seizures (simple partials) since April of last year. However, my seizures changed about 2 months ago to include what I think are complex partials and that's when the right-sided weakness started. I'm concerned about having seizures in my sleep that I don't remember and wondering if the right-sided weakness could be related.
I have an appt with an Epi in 2 weeks, but was hoping to gather a bit of info prior to that regarding this. I know you guys aren't docs, but any advice or experience in this dept would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Yes it is very common I had

Yes it is very common I had a seizure as well and my right arm to my fingertips were numb. Me and myself have an appointment with my neurologist to find out what's going on. I have Grandma seizures. I hope you get the help you need. God bless
