Has anyone had seizures?
 
Hi Everybody,
Hope you are doing well. I am just wondering if any of you with PCS have had any seizures? I had a bad one at the end of January and just had another one on March 7th. Dang! These things hurt. Makes you feel like you have been beat with a baseball bat. I think mine are from my sleep disorder but was just wondering if anyone else has had one. Mine are happening in the night while I am asleep. I was woken up in the middle of the first one and I was having the REM sleep behavior where I act out my dreams. I slept through the one I just had but know I had one because of the way I feel when I wake up. The neurologist thinks I could have nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy but I can't afford the sleep study to nail down whether it is that or REM sleep behavior disorder or both. Another thing I do a lot is eat candy in my sleep. Weird. Anyone else have any strange sleep problems or seizure activity? Thanks.

Seizures
 
I feel like I have been beaten by a gang of Hells Angels with baseball bats. Seizures hurt bad for weeks. I guess I was lucky I was in bed too so I was on soft things but it does not feel like it helped much.
I am going to ask my doc if I can take one clonazepam in the afternoon and one at night. How many Valium a day does your doc let you take?
I am thinking I need one in the day for anxiety and one at night for the seizure control of the sleep disorder. Things have gotten so stressful at my house. My dad has Parkinson's disease with dementia and things have gotten worse lately real fast and my mom is a nervous wreck. It is affecting me. I am having bad anxiety /panic attacks and seizures. I think the sleep disorder is aggravated by stress so therefore so are the seizures.
I am in hell.
I hope you guys are having a much better day than I am today.
Brain :(

I take 2 10mg at night....I was on xanax when I was having the trauma seizures...you might need to change benzos?:hug:
