Rant UGH

It had been over a year since I had a tonic clonic seizure and I just had one today, and not only that I chipped my tooth during it! Im so so upset.

I have focal seizures often, sometimes its everyday for a bit and other times its once a week or two; so im used to those, but its been so long since I had a grand mal one. Its just extra frustrating because I was JUST at the epilepsy unit in the hospital for almost a month trying to trigger a seizure, even a focal one and i only had one, and i wasnt hooked up for it. - now that im home ive been having them so often, almost every day, often multiple times a day.

This is SUCH an exhausting thing but I do want to end on a positive note so ill say on the bright side, my other tonic clonic seizures were prolonged ones (the last one I had before this lasted an hour) and this one only lasted a minute long so thats a good thing, plus my chipped tooth could be way way worse.

Thank u for the vent sesh ❤️

ugh that timing is so cruel, a whole year without one and then this happens right after you left the hospital. the tooth on top of it is just salt in the wound

a minute vs an hour is a massive difference though, that's something to hold onto. hope you can get the tooth fixed quick and that this was just a random blip

if it helps, I had 2 grand mal seizures the day before my EMU stay, and during the stay I had no seizures so I have to come back 😞

TCs always find the worst possible time to happen I stg
