One seizure was enough

Hello, my name is Laura. I've had only one seizure in my life so far. I will be 21 in July. The seizure happened when I was 18. This happened in September of 2007. I had just arrived in France with my boyfriend because he was studying abroad and I decided it'd be fun to go with him. For an entire year prior to this visit, I'd been having what I could only describe as "head tremors" as internet has also deemed it. There'd be moments, whether sitting or standing but usually sitting, where I'd feel some weird pressure throughout my body, and then my head would shake for a few seconds. Not terrible shakes, just quick side-to-side movements. At one point I'd gotten scanned and the tests were normal, no problems detected. Then, perhaps from all the stress of being in France (I hardly spoke French), these head tremors, and terrible goat's cheese I'd had the night before, I had a seizure. Actually, according to my now-fiance, I had three consecutive seizures, each one lasting over 20 minutes and an hour of rest in between each one. I had convulsions, I made terrible sounds, I peed myself, and all this time I was not aware. There was one tiny moment where I was "aware" and saw my arm flying back like it was trying to escape my body. But I don't remember anything else. He was so frightened, but didn't know what to do since we were in a foreign country. He said that after the first one, I got on the computer and researched seizures, but I don't remember doing that at all. A few days later I had a head tremor, and my arm started "flying away" again, but it stopped when my fiance held onto it. He sensed that was going to happen when I said aloud that something was coming again. Ever since then, no seizures. No head tremors. So i guess whatever it was it's gone? Even now I get paranoid about it happening again. I'm not one of those people who had a second one 6 months after, but someone on here said they didn't have a second until 20 years later. Could I possibly have damage from this seizure from several years ago? I doubt a doctor would find anything at this point if there was nothing before. I just hope that was it for me, and I hope you had your last as well. It's bizarre and scary... but we do what we can. I'm just glad I wasn't alone. :( Luck to you all. ~Laura

There are many people who are taking CBD oil for seizures, my son included, and it works. Try CW Hemp, it was created for a little girl who was having intractable seizures and it helps her.

I'm in the same boat. Not sure when the next one will happen, and I'm worried that I'll be driving or doing something in which I could end up really hurting myself. Also, trying to avoid the costs of a doctor...
