Recovery after a Dissociative seizure
Hi guys My husband took a dissociative
seizure
last week and it’s still unable to hold a conversation or read. I’m wondering if this is a “normal” recovery? Last week he couldn’t walk or talk but now he is home and can walk and answer questions with one word. He seems confused at times too.

Diagnostic tests after tonic clonic seizures - what to expect?
I had my first tonic clonic
seizure
in July 2021 during a time of huge stress (working 80 hour weeks, just moved house, young daughter). It scared my husband to death and he called an ambulance, but they monitored me for a few hours and sent me home without a referral.

Challenging the TSH Mantra - what to do next? (long post)
I mentioned that I was very well aware of being in a thyrotoxicotic state having previously been overmedicated on Eltroxin resulting in weight loss, palpitations, heart murmur and
seizure
but that I currently had no such symptoms and felt well.

Anyone ever feel like your brain has "reset"
I try to sleep but wake up in the middle of a
seizure
seemingly andmy breathing is way off and at times I am aware but my body is rigid and I can't move, then after so weak . It does a mess to my memory and mood and it's like I am in a fugue state sometimes for weeks.

Apple watch apps
Hello there, I am trying to find an epilepsy
seizure
app for mine and my sons apple watch, so I can be alerted if he isn’t with me and has a
seizure
(as this happened last night). He was at his friends and had two seizures. I have looked at a few, but one of them was £14.99 a month!

Some Memory Returning?
Talking of more strenuous activities it seems there are emergency
seizure
medications in the form of oral and/or anal syringe 'injections' which can stop seizures until the emergency services arrive. These can be administered by a trained companion and seem pretty straightforward.

There have been difficult trial and error periods, that unwelcome
seizure
that comes unexpectedly....well, you all know.
