Im so sorry Vrae! I have epilepsy and theres nothing worse then having a seizure out in public! Its sooooooo embarrassing. I know its not my fault, and there's nothing I can do about it when it happens, but I still hate it and feel embarrassed about it when it happens in public. It freaks most people out and they don't know what going on and everybody is staring at you and you just want crawl in a hole right then and there. The worst is when people repeatedly ask "are you ok" "what's wrong" "what happened" " do I need to call 911" etc... Even if im at home and I have one I hate it, I don't want my family finding me having one because I know they panic and they are scared and I hate that. I hate having to tell my friends what to do if I have one when im out or when we go away for the day. I don't drive anymore, I take my medication and I do everything I can to try and controle the seizures, im not scared of them anymore, because I know there going to happen despite my best of doing everything I can to prevent them. I just hate it for everyone else because I know it still scares them. Hang in there! But I would recommend seeing a neuro because its a possibility you were having an aura and that's why you felt "weird" before the lights went out.
Also is it a possibility it was a side affect of your meds since you had a glass of wine? I know im on very strong meds and couldn't ever go near alcohol because of the side affects of the medication. And the fact that we have a weird condition which maybe the alcohol for some reason affected more strongly.
