I don't recall feeling the urge to urinate, yet I have to go every two hours. Before a seizure I usually feel like I'm going to throw up.

Are you sure it's the urinary urge and not just the early morning thing? Since generally you'd need to wee after waking up

This isn't a discharge that I am talking about, and maybe AyEloh is correct and I am making a generalized connection.

It always seems to be that if I wake up and I am having a seizure, or if I feel an aura, I also have the urge to pee (just like when you wake up and have to go to the bathroom). If I wake up and I don't have to pee, I most likely haven't had a seizure during the night. Because of this, I keep myself chronically dehydrated, which is also not healthy.

I am just trying to figure things out as I find the more information I can provide to my neurologist, the better their treatments are.

Yes, I always seem to feel like urinating before or after a seizure, and have gotten sick to my stomach, once I was in the Bus and threw up. Embarrassibngm moment.

My seizures are typically of a night time but lately afternoon and morning if I haven't had the right amount of sleep. Usually afterwards I need to urinate. I've even started to have an aura or start of one during the opposite of weeing.. embarrassing but my partner has had to rescue me as I get stuck and can't stand up. Can anyone relate??
