Hello, I thought I wouid tag you all to get you involved in the discussion :) 

Yes I've been injuried having a seizure I've fallen down the stairs, I've had a seizure whilst getting out the bath and fell back into the bath water and nearly drowned, I've nearly been run over by a coach I feel into the road having a seizure. I've had numerous broken bones over the years and bruised skin and cuts to various parts of my body

I have been injured but it wasn't from full on seize it was when I had black outs I also fell down stairs. Whist crossing very busy road at time how I didn't get run over is behond me. But I think I could have dealt with it a lot better if at the time I had family believe me that I couldn't help it. My partner at the time thought I was doing it to get day off work. My mum didn't really say anything to help when I was having muscle spazams I just got told stop it because I had coffee in my hand & accidentally dropped the cup I said sorry. But not one person believed me not even after my diagnosis from hospital.

Hurt yes many many times since I've had this condition 42 years (I'm 49 yrs now)I used to be a main stage bingo caller and my worst embarrassment ever was when I was on stage and had a big fit.... in front of 1800 people OMG!!!

It took me over a week to get back on stage (without crying or embarrassed) to carry on my job as main stage bingo caller .

whats your ??

A good subject for discussion... Thank you! 

My seizures commenced at the age of 16. Whilst driving at the age of 17, I had a seizure, hit a gentleman on a bicycle and both of us landed up in the ditch, car and all. Luckily, this only caused a couple of cuts and scratches but stopped me driving forever!

Many burns have occurred with hot cups of coffee, plates etc. in the kitchen that I'm now banned from the kitchen; too dangerous there! My husband and I are a good team; he cooks and I wash the dishes! 

I've almost drowned in the bath approximately 3 times;  if we ever move to a new residence we make sure there's no bath, just a shower!  It's so much safer.

Two toes on the right foot were broken a few years' ago. The seizure  commenced in the bathroom; somehow I landed up in the lounge! This made me wear a 'moon boot' for approximately 8 weeks and was the best comfort a foot could have had. Healing was quick but very painful at the time! 

I visited a bank in 2016, got very frustrated and congested due to the queues, proceeded to a coffee shop where I ordered a cup of coffee on an open balcony. Before I knew it, a seizure started, the chair turned backwards and I landed up on the pavement. This caused damage to my neck and back, which took me a long time to recover. 

Carpet burns to the knees occurred after a tonic clonic seizure in September 2017. All I remember is leaving the bedroom to go to the bathroom. I then hit the corridor wall, landed on the passage carpet and after constant jerking for 30 minutes tried to crawl to the kitchen to get something to drink. Both knees are still very tender and skin is still red and chafed!
