Ok...long summary short...I'm 23 I have had seizures since I was about 5 and when I hit puberty I devolped partial seizures with my already exsisting grand mals. My seizures are always in my sleep too. Well when I hit puberty I started waking up in my sleep and being aware when I had them. WHich isn't too fun! When I was young, I never knew. ANYWAY...I'm controlled and so on but occasionally I bite my tounge in my sleep. I know thats a sign of a seizure...but I am a stressed out person right now, I have grinded my teeth in the past, I have often nightmares and so on...
I went to my neuro today and he said the only reason people bite their tounge in their sleep is if they had a seziure. I'm finding that hard to believe. B/c if this is true, it means my grand mals are back and they have changed back to me not knowing I've had on vs waking up and having them. I'm probably in denial lol And it doesn't happen often, maybe once every 2 months, but I just feel stress can do ALOT to your body besides seizures. One good thing...I haven't had a partial seizure in a year
And I THOUGHT I hadn't had a grand mal in like 6 yrs. So you can see my frustration and denial that they're grand mals just from biting my tounge. I don't feel different or out of it the next day either.
I'm just confused! And lately I realized I don't want epilepsy anymore! (not that I ever did!) But now it's turned into a "why me" thing.
