I have had two in the shower. First one feel and broke ribs. Second one hit the hot water handle and got 3rd degree burns on my leg. Was home alone and I just lay there with the HOT water burning me. Took almost a year to recover from that.

I have had seizures in the shower before, having a single dad made it hard for him to come and help me when he's realised I have had a seizure and I need help. I now sit down in the shower so I don't injure myself because it has happened a few too many times. Showers at home definitely aren't peaceful when you have everybody knocking on the door asking if you're okay!

Hello. Yes this happened me regularly having seizure in the shower and the answer I was given was it is because of the lack of oxygen while in the shower or bath so in future make sure a window is open or leave bathroom door open to ensure enough oxygen is being received. I am not 100% sure if this is correct but it did help me.

I just knocked the glass shower panels off their tracks last month. And I remember nothing about it! Luckily no shards this time.
I've learned that I can't take jobs in confined, tight spaces any more. After working two ice cream stores, surrounded by glass and metal, I know that they're guaranteed concussions.

My husband had told me that I did have a seizure while showering. I did have a few bruises afterwards. Since that occurred I am afraid to take baths in fear of drowning.
