Confused Todd's paralysis?

Hello ladies (and gentlemen)

I am back with some more questions & concerns that I am hoping to get some help with.

4 days ago I had what I strongly believe to be a Complex-Partial Seizure, and I feel like I am still having an 'aftermath' from it. I was wondering if you guys could help me figure out if this is true or not.

The episode was different from the other ones. I actually woke up in the morning feeling awful with body aches and muscle pains, extreme exhaustion, and a dull headache.

Later in the day I had an episode of blanking out, to which the left side of my lip kept curling upward, my eyes turned, I started sweating, my left arm felt weird, I went tingly & my left lower leg (under the knee) went numb. This lasted for a minute or two.

A couple of more minutes after the CP, my lip kept curling up and my vision would go blurry. As well my left side seemed weaker than my right, not really significantly, but still a bit noticeable.

I read this could have been Todd's Phenomenon, but the thing is: it has been 4 days and I still am feeling its effects. However my main issue isn't left-side weakness, it is mainly sporadic lip curling, and the worst: speech problems.

The speech problems are extremely difficult to overcome. I know what I am trying to say, however I can not think of the word. Thus people have no idea what I am trying to say, which is quite problematic. My speech has been difficult since the CP and it has not gone back to normal, although it has been getting slightly better in the past day and a half.

Any thoughts on this?
