I have had epilepsy for a long time now and sometimes straight after a seizure my muscles tense up to the point I can't stand up let alone walk I rarely drink alcohol. However... About seven years ago on a night out I admit I had a few glasses wine, I don't think I had a seizure but know I fell and couldn't move. I related this to my consultant and the words FUNCTIONAL. ALCOHOLIC is now included in every note or consultation despite all blood tests etc etc being negative after a seizure, if I try to correct them I am ' in denial ' or ' playing it down ' not sure what to do about it as the first question I'm asked is ' and how about the drinking? ' I can't convince them otherwise !!!
