Weakness After A Seizure?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

So I had a seizure this afternoon and it was a complex partial usally after these seizures I get a weakness on my left side.
I was wondering if anybody else experiences this? Its is not a numbness it's more of like I don't have the same strength I used to before the seizure. It takes a while before it comes back to normal. Its usually in my hand/ arm and my leg/foot anybody know what this may be?

when i have a seizure that blacks me out i will be lost and confused for like an hour. When i come back my body feels like ive spent a full day of excercising or something. after my seizures i spend the rest of the day tired and in pain. Even if i take a nap it dont help.
