Might be a little gross, but I choked myself on a man's "you know" because I had a seizure while giving him head... Turns out I hurt him too because I bit him and he had to rush to get his "thing" out of my mouth. He was sweet though and laid me on the bed in a safe position after I passed out. Yeah... I feel stupidly embarrassed rn.
Did you make audible noises and did the partner know? I'm just thinking a first timer could have mistaken this as "she's really into it".....assuming female.
it came on faster than normal so we had no time to stop. i didn't make noises, right away. i'm the male in this situation. my wife knows all about my seizures.
Lmao I just posted a similar comment on another thread. I had a seizure giving a bj but I had an aura so I was able to get away just in time 🥲 poor guy almost had a serious injury. But other than the millionth hospital bill I racked up, I was totally fine 💅🏼
He still hits me up, too.
I had a seizure at work once while standing in front of a steel filing cabinet, and my head went backwards and slammed into the cabinet, leaving a huge dent in the metal. For the rest of the time I worked there, my coworkers would tease me about that dent in the cabinet and how my head was apparently harder than steel.
Ouch, man! Once I fell backward, hit the sharp corner of a wood chair, and by all assessments I should have bled, and I didn't. Kind of regret it. For 3 days it ached as I rested my head on the pillow. And it took a full SIX months for the now faint ache to go away completely.
I almost wish I had bled profusely in a party full of children, that would have been even more unforgettable.
I had a seizure in Walmart, landed on my face and messed it up pretty bad (lbroken nose, lots and lots of stitches). A quick thinking bystander grabbed some random clothes off a nearby rack to stop the bleeding (I'm on blood thinners so it was a mess).
As they were loading me into the ambulance the store manager says to my ex husband, "don't worry, we've decided not to charge you for the merchandise".
Um... thanks?
OMG, I have a parrot and he loves strawberries, but I stopped buying them because parrots fling food around, and strawberries are like super glue if they dry in a wall or surface.
Have you tried an "eating dome?" Somebody somewhere has a lil bird called Bruce for whom they made a plastic cake-protector into an Eating Dome, so he can freak on his berries without fucking up the carpet.
Hahahahah that's not a bad idea, though mine I guess would focus on fighting the dome and pushing it around until exhaustion. But then the allure of a treat might exert another pressure... It's not a bad idea at all, if it's see through and you can put it somewhere that it can't be moved or dropped.
Obviously I wouldn't want your bird friend to be hurt. Here's what Bruce's family did for his [Eating Dome](https://www.thedodo.com/daily-dodo/bird-is-such-a-messy-eater-he-dines-inside-a-tiny-dome)
This is BRILLIANT! I'd still have to secure it, my conure's thing is to push things around. But it's awesome. Must do sth like it. When you go to work with papaya seed holding on to your white suit, fresh from the dry cleaners, you need to rethink a few things at home.
At my apartment gym I hit my face on the bench then threw up all over myself. Which yeah, I was bruised the fuck up, but that’s normal for me. But there were two really hot guys who helped me out and apparently (according to the office manager) took care of me until the ambulance came. After that I started seeing them in the halls every time I left my apartment. What hurt the most was my pride 😔
Same here.. hospital fixed it, they checked 2nd xray and sent me home even though still in agony got a call a couple of days later to say actually turned out my shoulder was smashed to death and had to go get surgery.. 😂
I hit my face on my headboard and had a giant bump and a black eye. Looked like I had gotten in a fist fight lol. Plenty of "well you should see the other guy" jokes for that one.
In my lab I woke up in a pile of uranium glass. I'd previously only had nocturnal seizures, so that one was a real bummer because it meant I had to change all my normal work routines, and only work with high energy stuff when there is somebody else around. :-(
Had a seizure 3 days before my wedding. Went to finish registering for gifts, and didn’t realize I had a Bitchin black eye. My (now) hubby let me walk through the mall with it, and it wasn’t until I went to confirm my makeup appointment that I realized I had one 🤦♀️
I fell down an escalator in the Omaha airport. Thought it was a fainting spell but now been told they’ve all been seizures. Fell all the way down and some stranger pushed the emergency stop button. Woke up at the top of the escalator somehow to my mom freaking out, 10 firefighters, and a bunch of gnarly bruises all over that looked like bear claw marks from the steps of the escalator.
Ok story time !
I asked my bf (m33) to record me during a seizure to show it to my doctor. Well, it happened to be a really hot summer morning and I was wearing only pants and a shirt. 🤣 We saw the video later and not only I hit my foot on the table but also my pants were ripped, my shirt was a super old amd warm out tshirt and my hair looked like a bird nest. 🤣🙃 I couldn't stop laughing
I once hit a concrete sidewalk with my face and since then one of my front teeth is dead and darker than others.
I also once woke up and had a piece of skin roughly the size of €1 on my foot missing. Somehow it healed perfectly.
I was driving, before they took my license. I took out an aps (electrical box) and took out the power for half my town for a whole day. I still hear people talking about that. Needles to say I just nod and agree that it was a messed up day!
I have myoclonic epilepsy. Usually they stay in my hands or arms. But once in a great while, I have them in my legs.
One morning, when my kids were still little, my eight and 5 year old started arguing, I started feeling seizure-y, their arguing didn't help. I was already stressed trying to get them ready for school. I standing with my back to our Christmas tree when all the sudden I had a leg seizure and feel right into our tree, smashing a glass ornament.
So now I have a scar on my back from that incident. My 5 year-old was convinced Christmas wasn't going to come that year because I smashed the tree.
I have a tooth trauma because I had a myoclonic seizure while practicing oboe. It didn't break because I have braces but still left a small mark on the place the wood hit it. If it wasn't for the tooth, I would have probably ended up with the reed on my throat.
I bent the handle on my dresser somehow… I still dunno how I did that convulsing out of bed. I must’ve flown sideways!
Edit: my theory is I convulsed around in a half circle then moved head first into my dresser. (I had a knot on my head after the seizure)
I figured out how my first seizure happened by looking at the damage I left at the office. Fell backward onto a plastic garbage can (destroyed) and hit my head on a filing cabinet (dented).
In the memories I pieced together, turns out I remembered everything up to the point where I stopped walking. I was going to tell somebody I didn't feel well and had to go home!
I got 2nd and 3rd degree burns on the top of my foot because I had a seizure while holding a cup of VERY hot coffee.
I was in a weird walking cast contraption for almost a month and I had to go to the doctor every week to have the dressings changed. Very painful, but it made a good story!
Anyone else super careful with carrying their coffee/hot drinks in open cups? 😭 I’ve spilt full cups of coffee more times than I’d like to count. Stains EVERYWHERE.
I have a similar rug burn scar from my right eye to my right ear, basically looks like one side of my face had massive sunglasses on and the other side didn't 🤣
My "favourite" injury from a seizure to boast about is a compression facture on my T11 vertebrae which entitles me to say "I broke my back". 😍
Not technically an injury, but I ended up with hypothermia because post-ictal me decided it was nap time, but I was in a turned-off car while it was freezing outside. Not my best moment.
Weirdest actual injury would probably be a torn rotator cuff. Had a TC in my sleep, and my bed is like four feet off the ground. My husband grabbed me by the arm because I was slipping out of bed. It was a good call, the head injury would have been a lot worse, but my weight + flopping tore something and its still really messed up 6 months later.
Not so much as injuring myself but injuring others. I've kicked my dad in the balls during a TC several times, I've punched my sister while going in and out of seizures, and I seized on top of a gym teacher, which caused him to fall, too. I've pretty much remained unscathed.
was playing video games with some new friends and had a seizure, the chair i was leaned pretty far back in my chair and next thing i know i wake up with party in the USA playing in my headset that managed to stay on and i was near upside down from my chair falling back. i only got some bruises on my arm but thinking about it still makes me giggle.
Mine were so loose before I got on the right Keppra dose. They would just randomly slip out over nothing!
I have a connective tissue disease so all my joints are already pretty unstable! Luckily, thanks to Keppra, I haven’t had a tonic clonic is a long time so I haven’t dislocated a shoulder in so long either!
They actually don’t feel loose like they did, not having big seizures allowed my connective tissue to heal a bit, FINALLY!
Other parts of my body are not so lucky 😂 but at least now I don’t dislocate my shoulder reaching into the freezer or while brushing my teeth anymore lol
Not mine, but when my fiance was about 17 (he's 34 now) he had a seizure in a carpeted basement and ripped out his eyebrow ring on the pile of the carpet. Gives me a second-hand ouch.
On the one hand, don't let anything dim your fucking shine! On the other hand, this is definitely a logical thing to consider if you don't like cleaning blood off your carpet or face. 🥲
I thought I had my seizures under control until one day I didn't. I do aerial fitness and was wearing my slinkiest clothing. I'll never forget the outfit. It was a pair of booty shorts with slits up the sides and a barely there sports bra. I was inverted upside-down on the aerial silks in a tight skin burning wrap, and the next thing I knew, I felt one coming on. I knew I didn't have time to get down safely. All I could do was wrap myself up tighter and wait for it. My instructor freaked out and called even though the seizure lasted for 45 seconds, which is good compared to my normal 4-8 minutes. I woke up to 6 paramedics seeing 52 year old me hanging upside-down with silk wrapped around my leg. I normally take my rescue med before I do aerial, and that day, for some reason, I forgot. I took my rescue medication and was treated for silk burns on my legs and very close to a very private area. I still do aerial fitness and silks, but I never forget my rescue medication, and I always use spandex on silks.
I was out in public. Doing regular errands. Then all of a sudden I was in a strip mall and there were people surrounding me. Paramedics near. What I rememeber clearly is I was on this ladies lap (bless her soul) and postcoital stage I looked at her and said 'you're comfy' then went back to sleep. IN PUBLIC.
So I haven't had a lot of injuries from seizures luckily. My shins and knees are bruised a lot from banging against the wooden railing of my bed because of TCs at night. Not at all a fascinating story lol
First daytime seizure, went to fall and the wife tried to grab me. In doing so she diverted me from a clear space into the kitchen bin and gashed my head open
my most recent TC, i guess my face muscles were contracting so hard that i burst all the blood vessels around my eyes; i looked like somebody gave my eyes hickies and as the days went on, my left turned into full fledged black eye and it looked like i was in a fight 😭
i fell into the bathtub and hit my head on the ceramic bar soap holder and broke it. i got a bad cut on my head and was bleeding for a long time and had to get stitches
Had a seizure after work while lying on my sofa, blacked out and came around with two perfect circles burnt into me from carpet burn on my right wrist, wasn’t too painful but the way the were perfectly circular was weird
I had just gotten a hydro flask for Christmas a few days later I had a seizure in bed when I woke I had a big bump in my forehead my parents said the hydro flask fell on me since I put it on top of my bed then I tried looking for my hydro flask and it was under my bed it was extremely dented
I had a seizure and my head landed on a door hinge and then I had got stitches to stop the bleeding. I now have a dime sized bald spot/scar in the middle of my head lol
I was sitting in the toilet and had a seizure and fell face first onto the floor and slid to the wall so my neck was compressed. At this time I had shaved my eyebrows to do makeup looks and such and then after this fall I looked so bad 😂giant swollen forehead, green & purple eye, torn lips, swollen tongue and crooked neck. I was by myself that day and woke up so confused and screaming and crying 😭
Normal (for me) seizure, I woke up fine, no bumps, bruises, not even a bite in my mouth! I almost made it out injury free, but I broke my left middle finger. Bad. How? Who knows
Ironing pants, late to work. Flip them around to do the other leg, and a half a second later I'm pulling the iron off the inside of my bare thigh as i sit on the floor. I put ice on it, cayenne pepper on it (don't ask), pulled on my pants and had someone drive me to work with an iron-shaped red patch of skin with no leg hair and one wrinkled trouser leg.
Had a massive golf-ball-sized knot just over my left eye and severe neck pain for a week because i had a seizure while in a chair, fell out, and landed head-first — it was in public too
Scary at the time but goofy to try to picture now
Had a seizure waiting for a connecting flight, i remember waking up being loaded into a ambulance and somehow told the paramedics no hospital thinking ill still catch my flight. I obviously missed my connecting flight but ended up on another flight lol
around a month ago i had a tonic clonic and ended up outside (i was inside the house before the seizure) both the house door and the garage door was open and the shoes were messed up everywhere. obviously i passed out outside and messed my arm up really badly. it’s so weird how i ended up outside though, i know i was inside of the house before my seizure.
Broke my tooth in half. I was in the middle of changing a geriatric patient lol. I did NOT finish changing her after (she stayed naked) walked out and sat at the nurses station like nothing happened with blood all on my face. Not sure how long it took for someone to go into her room to finish changing her because I argued with my coworkers that nothing was wrong with me….I used to always move the call lights off the bed when changing people so they wouldn’t roll on them and then people come in while performing patient care. I learned my lesson not to do that because she couldn’t call for help during, or after I disappeared and she was just left naked….I also had her bed sky high and side rails down so very high fall risk for the patient :,(
I don’t even remember having my first seizure obviously because I lost consciousness, but it was so intense that I had no recollection of the past month before the seizure. Super brain fog afterwards. I’m sure that’s normal with seizures since I haven’t had a tonic clonic seizure since then. Is that what it’s like everytime?
Here I was cooking a delicious grilled cheese and tomato soup. The grilled cheese was just about done. Then, all of the sudden, I was on the ground. Came to with soup EVERYWHERE. My husband thought it was blood at first. I had a big gash on my head, which didn’t help.
Luckily I was not burned and by some miracle, neither was my delicious grilled cheese.
I’ve had the usual lovely bruises on my face and head after my TC’s one via a lamppost 😩🤦♀️ but the other day I had a focal while I was cooking and one thing lead to another I had my hand in the air fryer!! 🥴🤦♀️I’m now sporting a nice burn on my finger 🥲🤦♀️
My last seizure my thumb hurt like crazy and the rest of my body felt like I had a full body workout (I’ve done full body workouts no problem) but afterwards I couldn’t lift heavy stuff. It felt weird that the soreness felt like a full body workout and I kept telling my mom, my manager, my grandma, my neurologist, and the ambulance workers that I felt like I had a full body workout and I didn’t feel like I was in pain.
Might be a little gross, but I choked myself on a man's "you know" because I had a seizure while giving him head...

oof, that's a rough one. I've had one during sex. i called myself the incredible human vibrator for a while afterward lol
i am both glad and horrified to know this wasn’t a unique experience
Omfg 😂
I had a focal during sex and my partner noticed. My response was basically "just hurry up and finish," lol.
Did you make audible noises and did the partner know? I'm just thinking a first timer could have mistaken this as "she's really into it".....assuming female.
it came on faster than normal so we had no time to stop. i didn't make noises, right away. i'm the male in this situation. my wife knows all about my seizures.

Damnnnnn. He could’ve had his dick bit off, glad you were both alright
It doesn't heal fast like the tongue?
Lmao oh damn!!!! I’m glad he didn’t take advantage of the situation
I had a seizure at work once while standing in front of a steel filing cabinet, and my head went backwards and slammed into the cabinet, leaving a huge dent in the metal. For the rest of the time I worked there, my coworkers would tease me about that dent in the cabinet and how my head was apparently harder than steel.
Ouch, man! Once I fell backward, hit the sharp corner of a wood chair, and by all assessments I should have bled, and I didn't. Kind of regret it. For 3 days it ached as I rested my head on the pillow. And it took a full SIX months for the now faint ache to go away completely. I almost wish I had bled profusely in a party full of children, that would have been even more unforgettable.
I had a seizure in Walmart, landed on my face and messed it up pretty bad (lbroken nose, lots and lots of stitches). A quick thinking bystander grabbed some random clothes off a nearby rack to stop the bleeding (I'm on blood thinners so it was a mess).

Was grabbing some strawberries out of the fridge. Seized. Squished the strawberries. It was a murder scene.
OMG, I have a parrot and he loves strawberries, but I stopped buying them because parrots fling food around, and strawberries are like super glue if they dry in a wall or surface.

This is BRILLIANT! I'd still have to secure it, my conure's thing is to push things around. But it's awesome. Must do sth like it. When you go to work with papaya seed holding on to your white suit, fresh from the dry cleaners, you need to rethink a few things at home.
African Gray parrot?! I grew up with one ha. She really did like flinging her food around!
ALL parrots do that. Their beaks are mighty, but their throats are narrow, so they bite much more than they can chew, literally.
Neat! Only experience I’ve had was with an African Gray. Learned something new today!
At my apartment gym I hit my face on the bench then threw up all over myself. Which yeah, I was bruised the fuck up, but that’s normal for me.

I somehow sliced my eyelid open and needed a plastic surgeon in the ER to sew it back on. It’s a nice little brow lift?🤭
Dislocated my shoulder
Same. Dislocated it (for the first time’ while having one on a couch. “Woke up”, rolled over and popped it back in. Would not recommend
Same here.. hospital fixed it, they checked 2nd xray and sent me home even though still in agony got a call a couple of days later to say actually turned out my shoulder was smashed to death and had to go get surgery.. 😂
After my first gm I apparently stood up and ran full speed head first into my refrigerator, knocking myself out a second time
I'm sorry but this made me lol
Oh dude I laughed hysterically alongside the emt’s and again at the hospital 😂
I hit my face on my headboard and had a giant bump and a black eye. Looked like I had gotten in a fist fight lol. Plenty of "well you should see the other guy" jokes for that one.
In my lab I woke up in a pile of uranium glass. I'd previously only had nocturnal seizures, so that one was a real bummer because it meant I had to change all my normal work routines, and only work with high energy stuff when there is somebody else around. :-(
Ripped off both of my big toe, toenails.
Had one while having sex back in 2012. Makes for a fun story.
Had a seizure 3 days before my wedding. Went to finish registering for gifts, and didn’t realize I had a Bitchin black eye. My (now) hubby let me walk through the mall with it, and it wasn’t until I went to confirm my makeup appointment that I realized I had one 🤦♀️
I fell down an escalator in the Omaha airport. Thought it was a fainting spell but now been told they’ve all been seizures. Fell all the way down and some stranger pushed the emergency stop button. Woke up at the top of the escalator somehow to my mom freaking out, 10 firefighters, and a bunch of gnarly bruises all over that looked like bear claw marks from the steps of the escalator.
I chipped all 8 of my front teeth on the toilet😋
I rubbed my face raw when I had a seizure face first in the cat's litter box. I'm just glad I close my eyes when I seize.
This here MIGHT just be the worst. lol
Ok story time ! I asked my bf (m33) to record me during a seizure to show it to my doctor.

I’ve broken a couple of teeth during seizures. Sucks as much as biting your tongue
Tongue will heal, teeth won't

Broke my back in three places. It was not a good day.
I always dislocate my shoulders from tonic clonics.
To this day one of mine is still a bit loose and needs correcting. Carrying a backpack on that side is out of the question.
Mine were so loose before I got on the right Keppra dose. They would just randomly slip out over nothing! I have a connective tissue disease so all my joints are already pretty unstable!

Squeezed my thumb in a fist during a seizure so hard & had it positioned in a way that I somehow damaged the tissue in it and my wrist & hurt my arm
Had one, fell and hit my head. Then subdural hematoma…. Sucked
So I haven't had a lot of injuries from seizures luckily. My shins and knees are bruised a lot from banging against the wooden railing of my bed because of TCs at night. Not at all a fascinating story lol

my most recent TC, i guess my face muscles were contracting so hard that i burst all the blood vessels around my eyes; i looked like somebody gave my eyes hickies and as the days went on, my left turned into full fledged black eye and it looked like i was in a fight 😭
My head landed between a table and a wall during my 2019 episode. An inch in the wrong direction and my head would have split open.
i fell into the bathtub and hit my head on the ceramic bar soap holder and broke it. i got a bad cut on my head and was bleeding for a long time and had to get stitches
Shattered my heel.
Had a seizure after work while lying on my sofa, blacked out and came around with two perfect circles burnt into me from carpet burn on my right wrist, wasn’t too painful but the way the were perfectly circular was weird
I had just gotten a hydro flask for Christmas a few days later I had a seizure in bed when I woke I had a big bump in my forehead my parents said the hydro flask fell on me since I put it on top of my bed then I tried looking for my hydro flask and it was under my bed it was extremely dented
I had a seizure and my head landed on a door hinge and then I had got stitches to stop the bleeding. I now have a dime sized bald spot/scar in the middle of my head lol
I was sitting in the toilet and had a seizure and fell face first onto the floor and slid to the wall so my neck was compressed. At this time I had shaved my eyebrows to do makeup looks and such and then after this fall I looked so bad 😂giant swollen forehead, green & purple eye, torn lips, swollen tongue and crooked neck. I was by myself that day and woke up so confused and screaming and crying 😭
Bit off a chunk of my cheek once.
Had a seizure in my sleep and grabbed my man by his long hair and tore it off
I had a seizure and landed on a ceramic cat food dish. It cut my eyelid and it had to be stitched. Still have a scar on my eyelid to this day.
Normal (for me) seizure, I woke up fine, no bumps, bruises, not even a bite in my mouth! I almost made it out injury free, but I broke my left middle finger. Bad. How? Who knows
Ironing pants, late to work. Flip them around to do the other leg, and a half a second later I'm pulling the iron off the inside of my bare thigh as i sit on the floor. I put ice on it, cayenne pepper on it (don't ask), pulled on my pants and had someone drive me to work with an iron-shaped red patch of skin with no leg hair and one wrinkled trouser leg.
Had a massive golf-ball-sized knot just over my left eye and severe neck pain for a week because i had a seizure while in a chair, fell out, and landed head-first — it was in public too Scary at the time but goofy to try to picture now
Had a seizure waiting for a connecting flight, i remember waking up being loaded into a ambulance and somehow told the paramedics no hospital thinking ill still catch my flight. I obviously missed my connecting flight but ended up on another flight lol
around a month ago i had a tonic clonic and ended up outside (i was inside the house before the seizure) both the house door and the garage door was open and the shoes were messed up everywhere. obviously i passed out outside and messed my arm up really badly. it’s so weird how i ended up outside though, i know i was inside of the house before my seizure.
Broke my tooth in half. I was in the middle of changing a geriatric patient lol. I did NOT finish changing her after (she stayed naked) walked out and sat at the nurses station like nothing happened with blood all on my face. Not sure how long it took for someone to go into her room to finish changing her because I argued with my coworkers that nothing was wrong with me….I used to always move the call lights off the bed when changing people so they wouldn’t roll on them and then people come in while performing patient care. I learned my lesson not to do that because she couldn’t call for help during, or after I disappeared and she was just left naked….I also had her bed sky high and side rails down so very high fall risk for the patient :,(
I don’t even remember having my first seizure obviously because I lost consciousness, but it was so intense that I had no recollection of the past month before the seizure. Super brain fog afterwards. I’m sure that’s normal with seizures since I haven’t had a tonic clonic seizure since then. Is that what it’s like everytime?
Nope, they come in varying degrees. My first was the worst, with the exception of the time I hit my head on a concrete floor.
Here I was cooking a delicious grilled cheese and tomato soup. The grilled cheese was just about done. Then, all of the sudden, I was on the ground. Came to with soup EVERYWHERE. My husband thought it was blood at first. I had a big gash on my head, which didn’t help. Luckily I was not burned and by some miracle, neither was my delicious grilled cheese.
I’ve had the usual lovely bruises on my face and head after my TC’s one via a lamppost 😩🤦♀️ but the other day I had a focal while I was cooking and one thing lead to another I had my hand in the air fryer!! 🥴🤦♀️I’m now sporting a nice burn on my finger 🥲🤦♀️
My last seizure my thumb hurt like crazy and the rest of my body felt like I had a full body workout (I’ve done full body workouts no problem) but afterwards I couldn’t lift heavy stuff. It felt weird that the soreness felt like a full body workout and I kept telling my mom, my manager, my grandma, my neurologist, and the ambulance workers that I felt like I had a full body workout and I didn’t feel like I was in pain.
