Hi guys.  thanks so much for your prayers when I was in so much pain.  I knew something was wrong because that pain was very different that I had ever felt.  I had a kidney infection.  I was on antiobiotics and thought I was getting better but a fever spiked and had another seizure.  I think I am becoming more aware of the signs but I still keep fighting those warnings. I think if I just rest it will stop but for me, that is the worst thing I can do because if I fall asleep while Im more likely to have a seizure.  I got up a few times during the night because I the pain was still bad.  My daughter and my friend were here and told me I got up 4 times and I only remembered two.   The shower curtain was down again..I must have used it for balance and my tongue nas a nasty bite.  I've been drinking alot of water but it still hurts.  One of my teeth got pushed up a but so I have to see the dentist again. 
 
I did have some vertigo and slight blurred vision the night before but told myself I was just tired.  The neuro was nice.  i told him 'every time he opens the waiting room door I feel like I am going to the principal's office' He laughed and got me to relax. I have to see him in two weeks. he did another dilantin level and a CBC to make sure the infection was under control.  thanks for listening.   Lori

Hi Lori,
 
I am continuning my Prayers for you hun.
Take it easy and stay calm that is the best for you hun. There is something you can put on your tongue for pain if you bit it and cut it,(I almost bit mine off, in 2002 took 4 mths to heel, ouch) ask you nero about that, no need to be in more pain at this time.
 
Sounds like you have an awsome Nero hold on to him they are few and far between.
 
Is your infection doing better at this time? Did they find out what caused it in the first place?
 
Huge Hugs,
withangels

Hi Angels.  thanks for your reply.  I have been putting cloraseptic on my tongue.  It is generally used as a spray if you have a sore throat.  If anyone has somespecial they use I would be interested to know what it is.  I used alot of ice water to ease the pain.  I have to go back thursday and will ask him again.  I got a new biteplate to ease with the pain on my teeth.  i am worried that a seizure will break my front teeth.  I am also seeing the dentist soon.  Lori

Hi angels. thanks for the prayers and the info on the tongue desensitizer. My tongue still hurts after two weeks and even if I do not need it now I think he will write me something for the next time.  My blood count is normal again but I an wondering why I am having fevers so often. I am able to control the fevers with the 8 hour tylenol but as I said in a former post, I never ran fevers before and nobody in my family has ever had one.  I see my awesome neuro this afternoon.  I am going to print the letter my friend sent me because I asked him to tell me as much as he could about my behavior and the actual seizure.  He told me the shaking was not bad so held onto me tightly..sweet man.  It doesn't surprise me that I was not responsive to his voice and I am learning now that I actually do get out of bed before most of my seizures.  I knwo myself and if I even think I can walk it off I would try.  I had the first one in the bathroom because the shower curtain was pulled down and some of the things in the bathroon shelves knocked over.  Im actualy learning as much as I can now and the fear of learning is not getting to me until I go to bed.  there is still some anxiety about actually letting go and falling asleep so I am not pressuring myself and just relax until I feel sleepy.  thanks so muc guys for your prayers and advice.  I passed the one year mark in March and I still say I have learned more at this website than in any doctor's office.  I am truly grateful.  Lori

HI Soul Wings,

I know that sometimes a seizure can cause a fever. If your sick or have an infection, that can cause a fever. Take it one day at a time Hun!

Sam I am
