No, I have not had anything happen to me in that magnitude. The only thing that I have endured from my epilepsy is the after affects of the man made medication that gave me Neuropathy - which started some time in 2007 and constantly feeling it. But little by little it is getting better.
I am sorry to hear of all the different accidents that you have endured.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I am so happy you are better now. or just a little bit better

I’m sorry to hear you had an Intracranial Hemorrhage. I had one also when I was almost 2 years old, which is 1 of the 2 causes of my epilepsy. My face turned blue under my eyes from the blood building up.
Yes, It was my fist yoga class ever. Apparently, my brother never told me what to do or how to prep up for the class. It was a HOT power yoga !
Here's the funny part. im hearing the teacher say breath. I thought I was doing a good job etc. As I open my eyes, I am surrounded by paramedics telling me to breath. So I was told my lips were blue, stopped breathing and unconscious .
never went to the hospital but, that was the closest iv ever been.
My last seizure happened in January. I missed one dose of my topiramate and I had a seizure & never came out of it. I had my son stay up all night to take notes but I never said anything to write down. My husband said I was in the "pre-seizure" mode for a long time, so he called the ER & they told him to bring me in, but he was afraid that I might have another seizure in the car on the way, so they told him to call 911. So I took an ambulance ride to the hospital. I was having multiple personalities for days. I didn't know who anybody was completely out of it. Well, in & out. I had moments of clarity, but I was out more than in. My best friend came in & I didn't know who he was, that made him cry, but I closed my eyes for a few minutes & cleared up & said "Hi Eric." I was trying to fight the nurses, I was screaming curse words, I escaped the restraints, I was taking off my gown in the hallway, tripped on that & hit my face on the floor (had to get a CT scan & ended up with a HUGE black eye). I was in the hospital for 5 days. They kept me on topiramate & tried adding keppra that was NO GOOD. Took me off of that real quick. Then they added Lamotrigine & I also quit smoking marijuana & I haven't had a seizure since.
