One doctor told us that it's critical to drink some juice immediately afterwards to get the blood sugar stabilized (as much as it's ever stabilized with RSD!)
This year , year 5 for me I have had 5 major seizures. Mine could be from the coma, I had alot of problems and was intubated for 35 days after developing pnemonia, i almost died. so I may have developed epilespy. We also often have sleep paralysis due to our inability to get accurate sleep this too causes seizures. you need a ecp I think it is called . they do not often show on mri. good luck i know they are terrrifying.cz
