Back ground info first:
I had knee surgry about 3 months ago and when I was comming out of recovery I started having seizures. I remember them and could talk to the doctor. 3 weeks after the surgry I took some pain meds and after 30 mintues I started having these seizures again. I am 100% awake. My entire body moves, it starts with a feeling in my head that I need to shake my head and progress that way. I had seizures off and on for 2 hours. I was given benadryl and sent home. The next day they started up again. They gave me Valuim at the hospital to knock me out and 20 mintues later I had very very bad seizures. Again I am always awak during this. I was sent home with some ativan and told to follow up with my doctor. I did this and was given the run around with him and a neuro. They did an EEG and I was told it was normal, but during the strobe part of the test I had seizures. I went to see a shrink/allergist, and he told me that it was not all in my head like other doctor had said, and that I had a low threshold ffor seizures and dignosed me with a seizure disorder. He told me not to tak any medication and that he wanted to run a lot of blood work. Well about 2 weeks ago I got the lovely cold going around dallas, and took some nite-quil, and guess what I start having that feeling like I was going to have seizures. I told my doctor about it and he put me on depakote. I have been on depakote since sunday. Yesterday I kept feeling so strange, like I was going to have a seizure and that something was off. WEll I had one seizure at 3 and then had 4 at around 9:30. Before the 9:30 round of seizures I felt really strange. I almost passed out 3 times, had a horrible headache, and could not get my thoughts out clearly. My husband said I had some slurred speach. Well once the seizures started we went to the er. The calmed down and the er did blood work. MY question is does any one have seizures like mine. Where they are completly awake, and aware of everything. Does anyone have seizures after taking medication. I am desperate, please help....
