    Be safe man, hoping for you that it was just a one off seizure and you don’t have a recurrence. You don’t want to deal with full blown epilepsy. My sister has adult onset epilepsy that they can’t really get under control. She can’t drive anymore, has to wear a helmet any time she’s on her feet, and with the ever-changing med cocktail she gets prescribed, it really affects her mental state and mood.

      It seems like it was just a one off. There doesn’t seem to be anything clearly wrong neurologically, and my blood sugar was incredibly low at the time. I’m also apparently predisposed to getting seizures at low blood sugar from a condition I have, I was on a medicine at the time which lowered my seizure threshold, and I think another medicine was artificially lowering my blood sugar too. So it was just the perfect storm.

      I hope things turn around for your sister :/. That’s absolutely awful. I’m incredibly fortunate, but for a while it was possible that could’ve been me. I hope there’s a miracle cure out there to help.
