First off, I have never had a seizure in my life. That is untill last night.
I was prescribed flexeral and Lyrica for muscle spasms and nerve pain. I was also given tramadol for breakthrough pain. I had been taking them all for about 1-2 weeks with no side effects.
Last night I had took my final dose of lyrica (out of 3 daily) along with my tramadol. An hour later my back was still hurting so I took my flexeral. It was probably an hour or 2 after that that it happened.
I was getting a sippy cup out of the dishwasher for my daughter who was in the kitchen (she wanted ice water before bed). Thats all I reember. My husband said he hear a huge THUMP noise, kinda like when our son falls down (hes only 1) and bumps his head on the tile floor. But this was a huge thump and he said he kenw I had fallen down, and came in to see if I was alright.
Thats when he saw my two toddler children standing over me while i was twitching and moving violently all over the floor, stiff as a board. Of course my husband made the children leave the room, then he couldnt find his cell phone to call 911, so he st down with me until i quit seizing, it was only about 2 minutes, then he moved me to the couch and starte running around to look for his phone.
This is where my memory kicked in. I remember sitting on the couch and him acting weird asking me if I was alright and stuff and I was like "yeah, why?".
He tol me I had just had a seizure and that the ambulance was on the way.
I was in and out of it along the rest of the time thereafter but I was released about 8 hours later after CAT scan, blood test, and a brain xray all came back negative. THey have no clue what caused this.
Could the meds be the issue, or do people really just out of the blue have seizures for the first time for no reason. I am freaked out. Im scared to go anywhere alone, Im not allowed to drive until they find out WHY I had the seizure, and all I keep picturing is my little babies watching their mom having a seizure on the floor asking daddy "Is mommy alright" Then they had to see me be carried out on a stretcher.
Has anybody ever experienced an unexplained seizure? Do you worry about having another one? I have no recolection of what went on durring the seizure(thank god) but I was told that just because I have never had one before doesnt make me in the clear of not having one again.
Sorry for the babbling, I am nervouse just thinking about it.
