Symptoms after a seizure

Tue, 05/19/2009 - 05:35
Most often I have nocturnal seizures but occasionally they do happen during the day.  Does anyone experience a general muscle achiness from head to toe?  Sometimes it is so bad I cannot go back to sleep even though I am exhausted.  As well as feeling like you have been clenching your teeth.

When my daughter was about 6m

When my daughter was about 6m. Unable to walk still crawling. She would sit and fall over with no ability to lift her self back up doc said she had an ear infection. This happened again when she was about to walk well. Normally when she woke up, she would be off balance. Crashing head first into any thing in her path looks like she was able to controlling it. Once again said was ear infection and this has happened 4 Times after that.  Her last episode was yesterday same thing but this time her eyes where rolling so I took her to the doc and there was no ear infection This time and she won't  eat after she does this. She screamed for 6 hours after waking up from her nap yesturday. After she has these episodes.  the next day she is up running around like normal. Doctor wants to do an eeg for seizures. What do y'all think? I'm not finding anything that says kids dangerously fall after sezuire? This is very serious she will just hit with all of her body weight head first. Also doc says she is under weight 21 pounds at 2. This. Happens about every 4 month's.

I had a few grand mal when I

I had a few grand mal when I was 19 months old and then started having petit/absence when I was a teenager. We thought it was under control until 5 days ago. We think I had a grand mal since I don't remember a large portion of my morning, my back, left arm, and jaw have been sore for a few days, and I was nauseous not long after. But in that missing space of time I crawled back into my bed and woke up again after putting on make up. How do you know if you've had one? Just the achiness, memory loss, and other symptoms? What has helped you to emotionally adjust? Especially since they got my hopes up saying most people grow out of the epilepsy. It took me 3 years to get my epilepsy under control just to lapse when we thought I was about ready to ween off. I have amazing friends and family, but it's hard as I don't personally know anyone else with epilepsy.
