How To Answer That Question

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Hornchurch, UK

Does anyone else always get asked "Are you feeling better now?" in the days after an attack?

I never know how to answer it, the truth is my attacks are so random that I'm often feeling exactly the same and thinking about this makes me worry more

Normally I answer, "yeah fine", but I just think people should think it through more. If you saw someone in a wheelchair, would you ask "are your legs feeling better?"

Just frustrates me

If it's my first seizure in that day I'll tell them I'm ok . If it happens a second or third time then I may tell them that I'm not really ok . And that I need to get a hold of a family or friend .

I hate that when people do that to me or make me think about then and most of the time I don't even know I had one till someone tells me cause I don't remember them most of the time

I get that too. I say that takes me a couple of days to fully recover as burns all my energy up. Best way I can put it. Need to sleep now as have head ache but don't think I hurt myself so will be fine.

Does get a pain at times and know how we all feel. Just wish people who don't have epilepsy had a better understanding of it.
