Making decisions is one of the most frustrating and noticeable cognitive problems I'm having right now. Sorting clothes to put away ("deciding" what goes in the closet, what goes in the drawer) is physically painful and exhausting. Today I was sorting pictures into 4 piles, my 4 year old niece could do this, and I was overwhelmed. I got it done but was shaking and my head hurt and was buzzing afterwards.
Sorry, rambling there! My point is that you are not alone on that one. I don't know any work arounds yet foe decision making but I'm hoping it will get better with time.
I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. If you are really worried and these are new symptoms then it might be worth going to the E.R. if you think you can wait till morning its always nicer just to go to the doc.
I'm sorry I'm not more help. I don't know anything about seizures. I just wanted to say you're not alone. I hope you're feeling better quickly.

I'm a 39 year old, female, accountant. On July 2, 2012 I crashed my bike at the end of a 65KM road ride. I was fine that day but woke up the next morning to my current world.
Ongoing symptoms include: dizziness, blurred vision, light and noise sensitivities, cognitive problems, uncontrollable emotions/depression/anxiety, headaches (but they're getting better), mental and physical fatigue, difficulty communicating and sleep disturbances.
Currently seeing a fabulous Neuro Psychologist and vestibular physiotherapist and hoping to soon see a neuro ophthalmologist. I am currently doing 20 minute stationary bike rides daily, 20 minutes of meditating, 15 minutes of Lumosity and lots of resting. I have not been able to work or drive since the accident.
The things that have helped me the most since the accident are vestibular therapy, gel eye drops (for blurred vision, sensitivity and dryness), amitriptyline (10mg), and meditating. I am finally starting to see some slight improvements and am hopeful!
My brain WANTS to heal itself... I just have to let it and stop trying to get better!
