After having the seizure hit me last Friday and having a fall occur and go through the after effects. I’d have to say today is the worst

Hayes, VA

I’ve felt since the episode occurred last Friday. The pain has gotten worse today from the fall on my side. It got so bad I couldn’t hold back from crying. It’s still occurring right now as I type this . It’s all I can do to hold back the tears today. Feel like hell today. Got very little sleep last night do to couldn’t get comfortable tossing and turning all night. 😭😣 The pain is unbearable right now. Very uncomfortable right now. Plus this is keeping me from wanting anything to eat as well.

A member shared the intense pain and sleep loss following a seizure and fall, and the community quickly rallied with strong encouragement to seek emergency care right away. Several members shared their own experiences with broken ribs, fractured bones, and seizure-related injuries, stressing that pain lasting more than a few days with no relief from over-the-counter medicine means it is time for X-rays or a CT scan. A recurring theme was gentle but firm support, reminding the member that suffering in silence is not the answer and that getting checked out is an act of self-care.
