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.

Had a seizure yesterday - and my 4 year old ran upstairs to let my parents know. My husband was with me to make sure I wasn't going to runaway (I did that once before).  After this began happening without notice, last year I have moved in with my family.  Today I feel like I have ran about 4 miles.  I have M.S. and I am blessed to get 5000 steps without repercussions lasting days.  I had just had a Soy Vanilla Latte and then my dear husband heated up a piece of pizza (with aged cheese - Pecorino Romano the only cheese I can have) and we ate this, then I seized.  911 was called I went to the bathroom (scared myself with the mirror on the door then attempted to go into the bathroom closet. (This is hilarity that I would have paid to see). But this being said, after the  hospital visit (nothing else was DX) the only thing that had changed in my diet was the soy vanilla latte and that I was about to take my AM pill taking my morning pill  SMH. My Keppra is from 1500 - 2000 now :/

I had a seizure today at the airport & now have the sorest muscles on the left hand si de of my body. Does anyone have any good suggestions to get rid of this pain. This is the first time my muscles have hurt this like this. Also i had tingling pins & needles in my arm about 60 mins after. Can a seizure cause this?

I had a breakthrough seizure at the Apple store Tuesday after 3 1/2 yrs seizure free. Muscles a little sore today. I'm thankful though because by the time the ambulance arrived, I was coming out of it. Hell, I even took a phone call during the ride to the hospital. I'm good now but that was scary, disappointing, and embarrassing. I'm getting use to them now though. I'm learning to slow It down.
