Hey sisters,
I had a seizure on the weekend. I'm a healthy mid aged women with no other background of medical conditions( First time seizure) i went to hospital with nothing showing the cause. I have a nero appointment in coming weeks. My questions is has anyone every had a seizure and how quick did u get back to "normal" life such as heavy fitness life style and work?

My son has the occasional seizure. He is usually really tired/sleepy the same day and pretty much back to normal the next day.
I’d do as much as you feel like doing, but if you feel light headed, notice any auras rest. I’d probably avoid ladders and taking baths/swimming on your own.
Is he medicated?
Yes, he medicated after his 2nd/3rd seizure.
Some people have a seizure and then never have another one in there life. So sometimes they will wait to see if medication is necessary (depending on severity of seizure etc).
For most people when they start medication they will have really good results. My son is one of them. However when we try to ween him off medication he quite quickly has a seizure and so it’s clear he needs the meds.
I had a seizure due to medication mixing, this happens regardless of the medications just fyi, 6 months no driving while tests were run over and over until I got the all clear.
A neurology specialty nurse told me last week- If you have a brain you can have a seizure. Food for thought! Best of luck
