A member asked:

I'm feeling very weak for a week or more if u had an attack of epilepsy. is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Postictal phase: Following one or more seizures, there will be a variable period of postictal lingering symptoms, but usually this is several hrs at most.. Perhaps you spells were prompted by an underlying infection or inflammation and that would explain some of your issues. Get this evaluated and handled.
