After countless falls out of bed and injuries from hitting things somehow when I'm asleep, I take to the floor to rest my weary head. Sometimes I wake up feeling so much worse than. The night before. Fatigued, like someone has placed a ton of bricks on me, and like there's effort to just sit and breathe. And occasionally at this time on waking I get weakness, paresis of my right side, worst my whole arm. It normally lasts an hr, but today, it has prolonged into the evening with no respite. Anyone else have similar issues? Is it post-ictal??

Hi there, there are a lot of hidden impacts to living with epilepsy. And keeping safe ( epilepsy.org.uk/info/daily-... and looking after your wellbeing (epilepsy.org.uk/info/health... can be challenging and its something people talk to us on the Helpline a lot.
It can be really helpful to share support and information so I hope you hear from others here. But I wonder if you know about our other services as well? This is a link to the information, advice and support we offer: epilepsy.org.uk/info/suppor...
