I’m another one with epilepsy who rides, only had around 6 0r 7 seizures but the last two have been grand mal, use to have absences which were down to epilepsy as well. Had a grand aml seizure end of April after some serious weekends riding, had about 4 race events in March and early April then a weekend at Afan end of April then Cannock the weekend after. Woke up sunday morning feeling very confused/dizzy and didn’t want to eat just very tired. Felt like this for about 5-6 hours, unlike pre warnings from other seizures. I was in Wales at mother in laws and the wifes brother came to me and basically i had the seizure then which lasted about 20 mins and he had to give me CPR which obviously scared him sh@@less. I think mine was due to being rundown from doing too much and lack of sleep, use to drink but ahd seizure after a heavy night so pretty much stopped now. Anyway 2 months on and just getting back to normal as felt very lethargic and just had no energy as started playing footy 2 weeks after. I have lost me driving licence for a year which nearly cost me my job but am currently biking to train station, putting bike on train then biking to work. I have found a shortcut through some woods and am loving the ride, just need the rain to stop.
Epilepsy doesn’t stop you doing anything you just have to live around it and make sure your not putting yourself under too much pressure and getting enough sleep.
All the bestwith the test and i’m having MRI scan and stuff next week in Queens Medical Nottingham who apparently are very good and have dedicated epilepsy nurses.
Keep riding 🙂
