I recently had that happen. Usually I have Grand Mal but 2 weeks ago I had a awake seizure and what as frightening was that I took my dog and I drove to my mothers saying I had been in Texas. I live in Missouri. I knew after my awakening I had some sort of seizure because I wet myself and I hurt really bad plus I felt like I could go back into another. I dont drink nor do drugs because that would be stupid but I am now Post Menaupasal and everytime I start emotionally getting it together snap this happens and you know people have no tolerance on my memorary lapse. I dont feel like a freak for having this but I do get angry with myself for forgetting words because I had a 4.0 GPA in college. I have no signs prior and I had my dog chained up outside. If I lose my independance I would just as soon die and this is not self pity its fact. Please someone help to explain or help me.... [email protected]

Ive had seizures where Ive passed out and woke up with headaches, my jaw hurting, and being tired. But Ive never been awake and had something like that happen before. I would be calling your neurologist and telling them about this ASAP. Im glad no one got hurt while you were driving and this took place. The last thing I want to hear is you or another person getting hurt. Please get ahold of your dr ASAP and let them know of this.
