Decongestants, really?! That's stupid.
This is part-rant, part-cautionary tale.
Who here knew that decongestants could lower ones' seizure threshold? Was this some common knowledge I just wasn't privy to or didn't pay attention to?!
I'd been taking all manners of cold medications to get over a cold the last week, and starting last Thursday, that turned into my first breakthrough seizure in two years, to the day. :( Ugh...
Thankfully it seems like my Keppra helped me recover afterwards, to the point I was able to text and call my parents, and then call my own ambulance (though I have no memory of that night whatsoever), but it still sucks to have bashed my face open and caused such havoc once again.
God. Damn. Epilepsy.
