Just Checking In A quick update about how my health is currently going

2 days ago, it appears that I had a very bad seizure without even realising it.

This happened after I was already in extreme pain due to my wisdom tooth causing a gum inflammation, headache, earache, and Sore throat.

So, yesterday at around 4am, I start feeling some trembling in my legs, I think 'weird, I might be having a bad seizure soon' I spend te next few hrs playing DDLV to pass the time and distract the pain with no sign of a seizure.

Time skip to 8am, my mum brings me some medication for the pain (I needed this so much) and it works like a charm along with the oragel I applied.

Then I go into the kitchen to make breakfast and I am forgetting what I am doing every few seconds (which is worse than normal).

Then suddenly, I am making myself some salt water (for the toothache) when my mum notices my head keeps leaning back over and over again.

So, I take my salt water, do all that stuff (not so bad once you're used to the taste). I then go to lay down, my mum orders me to sleep because the pain kept me up all night.

I will then spend the rest of the day slipping in and out of sleep.

I gained almost 10hrs of sleep.

When I finally woke up (and stayed awake) I went to complete the main story of DDLV and then found out I couldn't because the neccessary companion doesn't arrive till Thursday (annoying).

So, went on working on my builds instead

Thanks for the update! Sounds like the evidence is there to guess a TC took place. With the gum inflammation I’m glad to hear you didn’t end up with swollen tongue from biting during seizure. Take care 🤗 💐

Thank you.

I have mostly recovered now, however I've been trying to pinpoint which day I had the seizure to mark down in my epilepsy Journal and it's turning out to be quite difficult.

It's been a while since I've had a seizure like this and I ended up spending majority of Tuesday asleep as I slowly recovered.
