One seizure was enough
Mon, 07/03/2006 - 21:27Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
Hi, All,
I'm new here--stopped by the site looking for info after having my first (and so far, knock on wood, only) seizure two weeks ago. I'm 28. It scared the daylights out of me and my family.
My EEG and MRI were clear. Doctor said right now the best thing to do is try to stay healthy and wait and see what happens next--that if something's wrong, I'll have another. Could be just a fluke or a blood sugar thing, etc. I'm sure you folks know the possibilities better than I. I would like to perhaps get a second opinion (did not love neurologist #1) and keep gathering information.
Anybody else had just one? Or have any advice for me in this uncertain time??
Thanks for providing this place for support and info, y'all...I appreciate it.

Hi my name is Audriana ,
I just turn twenty-one almost at the beginning of the year in January. For quite a while i haven't has any seizures because i take medication for it. Just today i had one and its scared me .... RElly scared me cause normally ... ever since I've been having them they only happen at night. This time i was up for it but the moment it started is when i blacked out. I remember my breathing started to come uneven and due to the sudden seizure i fell off my bed in the process. I really just want to know rare it is for me to get another if i took my medication for it ??? Any advise or helpful information about it ???

Yeah, I think for the majority of us, the EEG and MRI come out totally normal. It sucks but at least it's not a tumor, right. The suckiest part is that more often than not, a seizure is not a one time deal. Kinda like when a person has an anxiety attack. Their body is more likely to have another when ever they feel anxious, cause their body is now familar with the reaction. Just take care of yourself. Do what the dr. says but know that the docs don't know it all. Do your own research, and when your find something fantasic or worth sharing . Do just that, share it in a blog or something. We can all help eachother :)
