5 Things That Help Me During A Seizure Setback

In the over ten years that I have lived with epilepsy and experienced seizures, I can’t tell you just how many seizures have pained me, drained me, and unplugged me from every day activities.

Below, I’m going to share with you 5 of the greatest things that have personally helped me bounce back following a seizure setback.

• Heating pack –

  After a big seizure or a tonic-clonic seizure, I experience a terrible migraine headache. Pressure in my head that breaks the scale. The heating pack helps ease this pain. Even herbal heating packs. Great to find on Amazon or even Etsy.

• Chamomile Tea –

  This tea helps relax the body from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.

• Water –

  Water is our source of life! It restores our energy, flushes out any impurities, and hydrates us.

• Relaxing/Calming music –

  After a big seizure, tension still remains locked up within my body, along with stress and a few other unwanted emotions. Listening to relaxing/calming music releases any stress or anxiety allowing you to surrender to pure relaxation. I would encourage you, if you haven’t already to try out an app that I have found very beneficial called “Relax Melodies” which includes a plethora of different sounds and music. You’re also given the option to create your own mixture by combining the sounds you enjoy.

• Sleep –

  At times, my body needs to be set into recovery mode following a big seizure. Our brains, our bodies have just gone through the ringer. Nourishing our brains and bodies with a short period of rest allows for restoration. I find that I feel just about as good as new after a nice long nap or even an early night sleep.

What do you find that helps you bounce back following a seizure?
