I am in desperate need of something....commiseration, advice, just a vent?? I just feel really alone and scared.

I had a seizure (my first) last week. Luckily DH was home and witnessed it so the Doctors are pretty positive it was a tonic-clonic seizure. I had no warnings anything was wrong; just collapsed while standing in my kitchen. I woke up to paramedics all around me with no recollection of what had occurred. It was terrifying.

At the hospital I had labs and a CT scan done. Everything looked normal. I’m still waiting for insurance approval to get a MRI and EEG. They put me on an anti-convulsant. I’m constantly afraid of having another and/or something really serious going on. On top of everything, I’m not allowed to drive for several months. I’m so paranoid and am having trouble figuring out what this new “normal” is.

Have any of you experienced a random seizure before? I would love to talk to someone who has been through this.
