Did I Have A Seizure?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

The other day I was attempting to take a nap and was half asleep when I felt this electric, tingling like sensation all over my body and my left foot wouldn't stop twitching. No other part of my body moved and for some reason I didn't even try to move. I was just surprised by what I was feeling. Then I had this loud intense ringing in my ear.

i think you had a seizure. i think its an aura seizure turning into/or a simple partial seizure (you can have more than 1 kind of seizure). my auras start with a tingling all over and landed in my brain. i tense up my right leg and arm and sometimes i freeze. but everyone is different. the loss of energy is the seizure is over. when the seizure is over, your brain needs to recharge. sometimes it's last a couple of minute, some last hours... it depends on how long the seizure last and endurance levels.

Hope you are well💜
