First seizure

Fri, 05/19/2017 - 16:19
Last Friday I had my first seizure and ever since then I have been hesitant to go places. I had the seizure in his car when I was dropping stuff off at my husband's job.I am glad I was parked. I woke up to a medic poking my finger and asking me if I knew I had a seizure. I didn't believe him at all, but wondered why I couldn't remember the morning or the night before. My husband took me to the ER and everything was fine, only problem is when they asked him if he was sure he didn't see any shaking he said no, also told me to lie about it and say I passed out. He told me he didn't want a disabled wife and I would be no use to him if I couldn't drive. I really didn't talk much in the ER (plus my husband was right next to me) but when I went to the regular doctor I couldn't lie. This scares the crap out of me. My husband claims I took too much Wellbutrin and I shouldn't worry and well, he doesn't really care. He gets on me about working out everyday and how lazy I am, my doctor specifically told me not to have stress and relax. I asked her about working out, and she said not to worry about it until we figure this out. I have a referal to a neurologist. The doctor did but me on blood pressure meds because mine was a little high.

Hi im sorry to heae you have had a seizure. My partner had his first a year and he says it is so strange that these things haooen and he has no idea. I try to ezplain to him but he is in disbelief as like you said he remember nothing.Not to be too harsh but your husband is jerk!!!! U shouldnt be with someone that doesnt care about your health!. Epilepsy is serious!!!!!!!! Not to scare you but therw is something called sudep. Please put yourself first and look after yourself. Do not drive and even if you feel better your body has been through a terrible trauma so will take longer to recover x
