Simple self care
Thu, 01/19/2017 - 16:25Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
Hi All,
I believe that I had a Simple Partial Seizure last Monday, and I feel like garbage. My head hurts, my face is numb, and my left side is weak. I went to the ER and they gave me something for migraines which didn't help. They ran a CT and several xrays because I have hydrocephalus. I have an appointment with an epilepsy specialist next week, but until then what do you do to make yourself feel better.
For migraines people avoid sounds and light, maybe lay down. No meds have helped me. No avoidances have helped so far. I am just constantly miserable. I am hoping for some fresh incite.
Thank you,
James
