Did a blood draw to check Dilantin levels, and then
Had a partial seizure at 4 p.m.--it lasted about 20 minutes
I was conscious and alert, just dizzy (vertigo)
My right hand and leg were jerking
I used slow breathing techniques to calm my body nerves
Taken via ambulance to emergency room
ER doctor gave me Ativan to stop the seizing
She advised that I come to the ER for relief during long seizing episodes
