Hi,

I wake  up feeling like someone beat  me up. I am usually sore, and my Husband tells me I had a seizure.  My Dogs freak out and bark, waking up the whole house...everyone  but me  that is, I am still out.  My mouth is very sore from biting my cheek or tongue.  Some people lose bladder control, but I have been lucky and don't do that.  I am very tired the next day.
I hope this helps you.

Hi Penny, Yep, what Dayna described is the way it goes for me too. I know nothing, but i feel beat up. My husband has to tell me that I had a seizure or the only way I would know it is the exhaustion and sore muscles, and usually some part of my mouth that I bit. As Dayna said I don't usually lose bladder control either, although it can happen. Is this new for you?Lynn

penny,Yep, ditto what the other 2 just said. If feel like I was beat with a 2 by four...lol I'm exhausted in the morning, usually with a head ache too. My mouth is usually sore from chewing on it, and my muscles ache from the tightening and jirking. Keep safe...alwaysclassy1
