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.

Yesterday was the first time I've had a seizure in 4 years. My left jaw hurts (but I woke up with my right cheek against the ground so I'm confused) and I have trouble swallowing and chewing. Is this normal?
