I Have Absence Or Partial Complex Seizures. I Have A Seizure Calendar To Keep Track.
I cannot remember how long a actual seizure is, often. The great confusion I think may be something called Post-ictal. What is the seizure? I do not know about what the recovery time is. After a large one I may sleep for a while. Lack of sleep is a Trigger.
Fortunately I have mine in my sleep
I understand you Leslie. Urinate very embarrassing
I give the date and type of seizure, and will provide a guesstimate time during our meeting discussion should the question come about. My case is specific for my needs just as your case is specific to your needs. The best I can suggest is take notes when each seizure takes place that you feel will help your epilepsy specialist and continue having open communication with your epilepsy specialist so they are aware what is taking place.
I was always told that a seizure of 5 minutes or more might mean 911 should be called. Maybe my Neurologist and Epileptologist would not expect us to be aware of how long it took to recover. Because Absence and Partial Awareness means you are at least only somewhat aware, I would not know how to describe one of the larger events. If I watch triggers, with the meds I take fortunately I am controlled.
It can be difficult to remember exactly how long a seizure lasts or what happened during it. The confusion and tiredness after a seizure is called the "post-ictal" state. Tracking seizures in a calendar is helpful for identifying patterns and informing your doctor. Typical absence seizures usually last less than 30 seconds Show Full Answer
