After effects of have a seizure

I used to be 6 years free of having any seizures. Unfortunately in early December of last year I had a grand Mal seizure that went static, I'm not sure how long it lasted. I do know that I had a seizure so hard I broke my neck 3 times. I'm fine now, physically at least, but my short term memory has been iffy since then.

2 weeks ago I was sick and had some absence seizures and then a grand Mal seizure, luckily this one didn't go static and only lasted a few minutes. I woke up in pain and the pain in my legs lasted for a few weeks, luckily I've had my parents helping through everything.
My question, is how do y'all cope after having a long seizure that you thought was handled, cause my sleep is questionable and the depression sucks.

  1. I recentl6 experienced my first grand mal seizure. I'm currently in a nursing home,looking for an apartment. I recently turned 55. My last seizure was a year ago and I was only out tor a few hours. This time, i was our for DAYS and woke up in ICU with no recollection of what happened ir how I got there. Has anyone had anything similar happen to them? Mine was caused by a bloodstream infection.

    1. I wanted to follow up on your post to see how you are doing? Were you able to find an apartment? I can't even imagine how scary your last seizure must have been for you. I really hope you are feeling ok. Jill (Team Member)

  2. I wanted to check in and see how you've been doing lately? Have you been able to get some better rest? Thinking of you, Julie (team member)
