Seizure like a boss

You know it's wonderful having good days where a headache is the biggest problem I face. It's even better having a great week but then the wall hits you.

Since my gallbladder removal I've had two large gallstone attacks. I expect to be symptomatic for at least a year.

My neurological problems had gone fairly silent. A little tremor here and there but nothing major. I finished watching most of the Star Trek series and began some silly web hobbies.

Then I woke up unable to speak with vertigo do bad I couldn't walk or sleep. This was a major factor in my original hospitalization. Luckily nausea wasn't apart of this day so I was able to wait it out. My sleep has become heavily disrupted again. Today I happened to oversleep by four hours.

The seizures have showed up again. Depending on severity the symptoms are slightly different. For my drop attacks I usually just get weak legged and have repetitious movements or words. Full episodes are much more elaborate.

I usually don't have time to notice small changes. The most obvious factor is a feeling of panic followed by a overwhelming tiredness. At that point I usually notice some nausea and tremor. If I don't get to a bed in a few minutes I would fall and hurt myself so you'll often see me book it for the bedroom grasping the walls as I go. Once it starts I have the strangest feeling of a traveling contraction/pressure in my brain. My jaw will often ache and lock shut. Shuddering and writhing begins mostly on one side but as the episode progresses will cycle through the whole body. About ten minutes into the spasms I lose my ability to communicate. I have yet to find if it is my voice box or the speech center of my brain.

My longest seizure episode lasted about four hours but have have been aftershocks following a single occurrence. During this time I couldn't speak for about two hours after. My voice came back very slowly like a whisper. Eventually I was at about half volume which was good enough for me.
After a seizure I am always tired and my body is often dead weight.

Today I had the warning signs which was why I'm posting. Nothing has happened yet but I've been known to have warning signs up to three days before a occurrence. This no doubt commands the rest of my week, like a boss.
