Seizure presenting like a bad dream
Sun, 07/12/2015 - 14:22Hi,
I've been diagnosed with epilepsy for a few years now. Although neurologist thinks I've probably had simple partials and complex partials since I was a teen-ager and that it was just not addressed. I've been on lamictal and we've just recently added vimpat. Last night I had a witnessed seizure that was described by my family as looking like I was having a nightmare; not like a tonic-clonic (of which i've only ever had 1 or 2). They said my legs were stiffening, I had my fists over my eyes, and kind of rolling around. And came out swinging when I was coming out of it. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks.
