VERY scary episode of sleep paralysis
It felt so painful that I thought I was having a
seizure
or a stroke or something, but my boyfriend said I wasn't moving at all. I was freaking out and I still am. It was so scary. Now I feel nauseous and my head hurts along with my stomach. Is this dangerous?

Cerebral Vasculitis (mis)diagnosis/RCVS/vasospasms
I was disoriented and felt as if I was having a
seizure
. My friends were pretty shaken up and it was clear the nurses and doctors thought I was either on drugs or detoxing from drugs.

Coping with the constant feeling that you're going to die?
I am so so scared every second that I'm going to die or have a
seizure
or faint even though I have never had a
seizure
or fainted. Now it is worse because I'm switching medications and feeling really sick, which to me means death is coming. How can I stop these thoughts in the moment?

Risperdal making me sick?
These side effects scare me (the risperdal is only .5 mg by the way) because I have severe health anxiety and fear of having a
seizure
or fainting. at my worst I am certain I'm about to have a
seizure
. It feels like one coming on (though I've never even had one).

Struggling to cope
We told the neurologist, but was told that this was unlikely the cause, even though this happened a week or so prior to his first tonic, clonic
seizure
( he also suffers absence seizures about 10 - 20 times a day, more frequent in the mornings).

How can you be diagnosed?
This episode seemed more like a
seizure
. The heart recording showed the heart raising from 90bpm to 170bpm which I am told is normal by her cardiologist. I am thinking she has epilepsy? During the shaking she was rigid and she rolled onto her front from her back.

Reapplying for my driving licence - advice
I know there is a general rule of being
seizure
free for 12 months but I am not sure whether this applies when my licence was not 'taken away' (DVLA's words not mine!). I am just so eager to start driving again!!!! Thanks in advance folks.

Derealisation 3 years strong.. no end in sight
Its given me health anxiety, I fear I'm going to have a
seizure
or faint all the time. I never have but I'm sure I will. I'm also pretty sure that every day is the last day of my life. This is a nightmare.

Dealing with uncertainty
I find it really difficult to deal with the uncertainty of not knowing when I am going to have a fit or
seizure
as many call it.I never ever get any warning signs and that scares me when I think about it as I could and do fall down anywhere at any time.So it means I cant go anywhere without being accompanied

Triggers and recognising them.
I just wish I knew what as its worrying not knowing when its going to happen.The biggest problem I have is i rarely remember anything previous to my
seizure
or indeed anything about my stay in hospital after them.In fact only last year i had to stay in hospital for 8 days as i had a cluster of seisures

Stopping in tracks while remembering something?
Thanks to your helpful advice I saw my GP who has said she believes I am showing
seizure
activity, caused by an atypical migraine or epilepsy. She was leaning towards epilepsy. Just to rule out other things I am having a CT scan before I see a neuro in May.

Good afternoon all, My wife was diagnosed with epilepsy after a tonic clonic
seizure
that came out of nowhere. Nearly two years on and She is still struggling to come to terms with her diagnosis and although she knows her condition does not define her, it is affecting her work and her life.

ICH and the NHS
In Oct 14 I had a
seizure
in my sleep, so, off to A&E blue lights flashing, I went. I felt very unwell and was in and out of consciousness but when hubby asked about a scan he was told it was too big a radiation risk.

Pacemakers?
The last
seizure
was in hospital under monitoring and she had a 32 second asystole (heart not beating). It has been suggested that she needs a pacemaker. Has anyone had experience with this?

Uncontrollable body movements with hullucinations.
It is a bit like someone having a
seizure
. She has been prescribed lorazepam half a tablet which does calm her down. I just wondered if is the psp progressing or maybe a side effect of the drugs she is taking which is Citalopram, co - beneldopa, Amantadine.

Are these tremors or seizures?
My friends who have witnessed this say I have bounced up and down in my chair and they thought I was having a
seizure
. I feel totally out of control during this period, although I am conscious. I'm just waiting for it to be over, and for the pain in my face to stop.

Hello
In 2014 I had two seizures, one May and one in August, was seen by a neurologist who told me not to worry and suggested that I stopped taking Lamotrigine at a very low dose as it would not be effective. this year I had a
seizure
on 13 January, one on 13 February, sat around until 13 March, nothing happened

Fair enough apart from my licenses were revoked over 18 months ago and as
seizure
have continued not re-applied so as not to waste their time or my postage and my consultants and doctors know that the seizures are unremitting and that I'm aware I shouldn't drive so they never refer to it specifically

Concerned Mom
At 8 months he had a
seizure
that was ruled as a febrile
seizure
. This Wednesday he had another
seizure
and doctors said it was also febrile related. I was confused because he had the
seizure
right after crying because I took a toy away and he got really upset.
