Hi Sunshower,

I'm sorry to hear that you may have had another sz. I wanted to let you know that Postical is a time when a person is border line of coming out of a sz. and it takes them awhile to remember what has happened.
This has happened often with me especially when I have a complex partial sz. once in awhile if the complex partial sz. lasts longer parts of my body will sometimes shake for a few seconds but I don't even realize it, my husband always tells me about it after the sz. is over.
The staff should not feel annoyed with you at all one thing you may want to do if you haven't already is start seeing an Epileptologist instead of a neurologist. An Epileptologist specializes in epilepsy and can find the cause of the sz. along with the correct meds a person needs a lot better than any neuro I've ever seen.
Stress and lack of sleep are the 2 main things that can trigger sz. for a person because it affects a persons hormones and when the hormones are changing that in turn can cause sz. for many people. If you haven't had an MRI or CT scan done yet you may want to get one done because these tests will show a lot of detail of what's going on in your brain and if there's any problems. I also found out I have more sz. when a low pressure in the weather is happening in my area and also I have what is called "seasonal seizures" which means I have more sz. at certain times of the yr. and that's because there's less light outside in the fall and winter compared to the spring and summer so this triggers sz. for me. While some people are just the opposite they have fewer sz. in the fall and winter compared to the spring and summer. Start taking vitamin B12 1000 mcg. once a day and see if that helps you. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Sue
