issues regarding living alone

Sun, 07/12/2015 - 17:51

I have been living by myself for around a year and a half. I at one point fell and burnt my hand while cooking and just chalked it up to overdosing on medication.

I often wonder if I have seizures while I sleep as I have no way of knowing if or how often since I sleep alone, though at one time my ex did witness a seizure while sleeping.

I mostly want to know about seizures in your sleep and how likely it is that I am having them?

That is when I have mine

That is when I have mine Lemons.  You pretty much will know unless it is very mild.  Laura is right about bit tongue or excessive muscle soreness as being giveaways.  In addition I get redness/almost blushing color/look in my temples, a general tiredness/memory problems the next morning ... A dead giveaway if you fall out of bed ... And overall a basic feeling that something bad has happened
