curious

Hi!I didn't see the original post and couldn't find it on a thread; but I thought I would throw this idea out…Arm and/or leg paralysis following a seizure (especially if they are both on the same side) is frequently a symptom of a condition known as “Todd's Paralysis” or “Todd's Syndrome.” It's not all that common; but I have it. Sometimes I can't walk for a few hours after a seizure. It usually resolves itself in a limited period of time, from a few hours to a day.Check out the Merck Manual or ask your neuro about it.Blessings!

Hi again!I found the following definition of Todd's Paralysis on the GP Notebook site. FYI:"Todd's paralysis is a post-ictal - post-seizure - focal neurologic deficit which following a series of seizures, is characterised by persistent weakness - for several hours or longer - at the affected site. It may occur in association with hemiplegia in which seizures often accompany the outset. It is often confused with a cerebrovascular event.Pathologically, the clinical features may represent neuronal exhaustion after the period of increased activity."There's more written about this at various sites as well; but the best source is still probably your neuro.Good luck!
