I'm really scared

I just woke up about 5 minutes ago, 3:55 am. I woke up because I felt my hand curling up into a fist. The only time this happens is when I have a seizure. However, I learned that if I held my thumb back, I could stop it before it curls up so tight that I pass out.

So I held my hand open for 15 minutes. If I let go, my brain would start to scramble and my thumb would try to go again. My hand was hurting so bad. It felt like it fell asleep, but it would not get better and it hurt more as time went on. That, and when I let it go it would hurt even more and I could feel the seizure coming on.

I am terrified to go back to bed. I'm sweating. My hands are freezing and my right hand hurts because it was so tight. It seemed like if I laid down, things got worse. But I'm so tired.

Looks like I get to call my Dr. tomorrow. This hasn't happened for 3 years. Why is it starting again?

That doesn't sound too great, perhaps you should just make sure not to go to bed alone in case something happens!
Couldn't you hold something in your hand to make sure your hand can't curl into a fist? Perhaps one of those stress balls or so?

Are you under a lot of stress? I hope you have seen your doctor and are finding out what's going on!

I didn't get to call my Dr. today. I had an interview with a school and it went longer than we both expected. I should have called during lunch, but our class had a field trip today and we had 10 minutes to eat. 35 fifth graders do not travel from one place to another very easily. No time...but the interview was too important to miss.

I'll call tomorrow, I promise.

Oh, and I don't sleep alone. My wife Liesje is right there by my side. I didn't want to wake her up.

Also, I feel great today. Any time this happens, I am friggin aware of everything the next day. Like a computer slows down and you re-boot and it works perfectly again. Nice analogy eh?

I can't speak for your beloved, but as a wife, I would want to be wakened for something like this.


I'm glad you're fine today, Phil.
