Once more unto the bed...

This Saturday just gone (the 23rd Feb), I had been out for a walk in the morning and then we went in separate directions to get different things.I arrived home first, unloaded what I'd bought (which included a certain amount of beer), and went to do a few things on the computer. I sat there for a few minutes and then felt the feeling that I've felt before pre-seizure, which included pins and needles and a difficult to describe buzzing (although without the sound) in my head. I swore to myself and got up and headed straight to bed, although I sat up while I tried to establish whether this was going to be a seizure or not. I could feel it getting stronger so I took one of the new tablets that had been prescribed by the neurologist (Clobozam 10mg) then tried to operate my mobile to tell my wife what was happening. The phoone was on lock and required a security number to release it. I think I managed to do that. Then I tried calling her and I failed at the first attempt and at the second attempt apparently all I managed to do was make some weird noises and that was that.

As always, the rest is blank for me until I started to come to, luckily this time in my own bed, instead of in some hospital somewhere. I was extremely groggy and achy but at least I hadn't bitten my tongue, or overheated. I spend most of the day sleeping and also went to bed quite early too that evening. I think the Clobozam may have had something to do with that too. By Sunday I had pretty much recovered, although I still felt drowsy. But I think that's it for this time.
