I had what I thought was a really positive day on Monday, my new carer comes in now to help me 3 hours a day 3 days a week, which we plan on upping as I get used to having someone new around to help out.
Anyway after having a good 3 hours & getting some housework done & even managing to make a simple meal for dinner for myself, my 14 year old son & my 19 year old daughter.
My son & I sat down to eat, my daughter wasn't home.
After we had finished and put something on T.V. to watch, I started at first twitching in my fingers which then spread to the whole of my body, my vision then went very blurry & I couldn't speak properly, it was then that I tried very calmly to tell my son to go next door for some help.
By the time they returned I don't really have much memory except the biggest urge to close my eyes, I remember my neighbour kept telling me I had to stay awake & he called for an ambulance. I was taken to hospital & it must of been a good few hours or so before I began to feel normal again....
I was admitted for observation & had another seizure in the morning, this time after the twitching, I found I couldn't move from the bed & all that was happening were my eyes were constantly flickering for what seemed like ages. I remember before this one started I told a nurse that I could see a small black ball in my left eye, but she seemed to ignore this & even when I pressed my buzzer & told them that I had started twitching again they just ignored me & left me to get on with it, surely I thought they may want to monitor what was going on, considering that's why I had been kept in hospital...
Anyway I'm now back home & apparently the hospital have put the seizures down to pure exhaustion & my mental state.
That's just great, do I expect this to now be an ongoing thing? I have no idea, I thought by being on 500mg in the morning & 750mg in the eve of keppra for my pain that it would knock out any kind of seizures but obviously not.
Please could anyone help, it just seems I never get a break & if I do I end up paying for it later....
I thought I had escaped seizures as my head injury was last April
Any help or ideas on what I should do if it happens again would be much appreciated. Thank you all for taking the time to read.
