Has anyone ever had a seizure during a flight? I am thankfully feeling a lot better now I was getting an Ora was terrified but didn't have one.
Yes! I have had 2 seizures on 2 separate flights. It was terrifying. The first time, my husband was with me. I got the aura and then had the seizure. I puked all over 3 people and in the oxygen mask. They left us in NC. My husband had to get me to a hotel after the hospital. I don't remember much until 2 days later. The second time I was by myself.virgin America airlines were very nice and tok great care of me. After that, I take 1 ml. Of Ativan when I board. That helps and haven't had another one on a plane. Thanks for letting me share!
how do you get the card?i know the bracelet can be a little pricey,but at least if i have the card on me,in case i have one,ill feel a littlle bit better.
I was flying home from Israel when I had a seizure, it was a few years after I was diagnosed with Epilepsy. I don't remember a lot about it, just having an aura prior to the seizure. There was a Doctor on the flight, so he cleared everyone away and made sure I was safe. I didn't really know what happened until we landed and the Doctor told me. I was glad he was on my flight. It is best to tell the flight attendants about a seizure disorder, just in case, I have a little card in my wallet and a bracelet on now so if it happens again people know what to do. I haven't had anymore seizures while flying since that one flight and hopefully I never will. I hope this helps.
D@ I use a piece of High%-Cocoa Dark Chocolate and Citric Fruit or a Banana if no Ativan.
I fly periodically. Sometimes no problems at all. I make sure Ian hydrated for a long flight. ( cross-country) have things to do or read or watch. If a seizure starts use the Ativan, or close my eyes and relax.
