First and short story from one of my many seizures

Thu, 06/22/2017 - 15:23
Hi So after years with epilepsy I have decided to finally start sharing experience. It's a bit blurry at the moment as I had seazure this morning and all my papers are with pharmacy as I need to stuck up on medication, so I can't give the full story yet but will make another post over the weekend. So I woke up this morning not remembering a single thing such as the address where I work and other small things, but lucky I remembered the most important people that I need to contact when it happens. Strange about this one was that I didn't have any pain in my body, just the memory loss, usually it feels like I've been working out for 24 hours straight. I eventually decided to go back to bed as I was very tired and just woke again 30 minutes ago still with memory loss. Usually I can relate the trigger to something I have done the previous days as, but this time I had to think hard and honestly the only thing I changed the last 3 days was that I've been drinking smoothies for breakfast and dinner with bananas and watermelon + redberries, so I am guessing that was the cause. I haven't talked to my doctor yet since I went straight to bed again, so will have to go see her tomorrow. As mentioned a short story and I will update again with my past experience over the weekend.
