Subject: [epilepsy] I am NOT happy!!!
After a year and a half without seizures, I had one last night. I was at martial arts class, when my visual perception started going whacko. I started towards the side of the room, and the next thing I know is waking up on the floor with everyone hovering around me. Then the paramedics showed up.
They kept me on the floor and let me regain my bearings. I am fortunate to be able to become fully aware shortly after waking up. They asked me the standard simple questions, and (I guess) after they thought I was coherent enough (and sitting up), they asked if I wanted to go to the hospital. When I said no, they had me sign a form stating that I refused treatment, made sure I was ok, and then left me with my instructor and classmates. Needless to say, I didn't work out any more the rest of the class.
After class, I called my folks to come and get me. While waiting for them, my instructor said he was surprised at how fast I recovered from the seizure, because it had been about an hour since it happened and I was standing up and talking to him like nothing had happened.
Unfortunately, now I'm back to square one. No driving, no climbing ladders, and an increase in my Keppra. I hope and pray that that was the last (I repeat - LAST) seizure I'll ever have. Doubtful, but only time will tell.
God bless,
Mark S.
