    another seizure this morning

    Hi All,

    I suffered a seizure this morning,another one.
    Apparently i was shaking real bad all over and couldn't talk,had slabbers coming out of my mouth.
    It lasted about 10mins and was fucking horrendous.
    Was sitting down to watch a dvd with my son,11,daughter 17 & 2 boys i was minding for a friend aged 5 & 7.They were all so scared ans the little ones started crying.:drama:
    Got taken to the docs and finally admitted to being an alco.
    Cannot go on fooling myself.
    In a mess right now but doc gave me librium to help.Is it any good?
    I also asked for antabuse and im starting that on monday.
    I cannot drink again,ever.
    Will keep you posted.

    love and shaky hugs,
    annie

      Annie,

      Yes, the librium will help with the withdrawal in the short term, but you need to be so careful, please - detox can literally be deadly in some cases. You will also need additional help, even if you're taking antabuse. E.g. supplements like L-glutamine and vitamins.

      Good luck!

            Annie, so sorry to hear of your experience. Had you quit drinking cold turkey? Was that the reason for the seizure? Prayers to you friend.

                Look at the big picture Annie. You've drank less over the last two weeks than the two weeks prior to that. You're not starting over completely. If I'm correct, didn't you recently go five or six days without alcohol? You'd be amazed at how quickly the body recovers when we don't drink. So no, you're not starting over Annie, you're picking up where you left off. Prayers for you.

                  Reaching out to you with support and understanding~

                  I have withdrawn cold turkey enough times to wonder why and how my body does it. I support the use of safer means, because you suffer enough with the battle from hell.

                  Let your spirit rest and your thoughts focus on all the peace that is offered from all the kindred spirits that surround you with pure empathy.

                  Be still and know that you are loved.

                  Your body will recover, rejuvinate as your heart will rekindle with hope and assurance.

                  Right next to you with a heavy heart for all of us that suffer, yet, with a enduring knowing that we will overcome what bullies us to be overcome.

                    Hugs to you, Annie. I'm so sorry you've had a rough time. One day, you'll look back on this time and you'll be grateful and happy that your life got better after this. Meanwhile, please eat well if you can & keep your blood sugar level (helps to prevent additional seizures). We are all pulling for you.

                      another seizure this morning

                      Hi Annie,

                      I just wanted to send you some warm wishes. I have never had a full-blown seizure, but DTs are scary enough. I can still remember the worst withdrawal I ever had - it was absolutely hideous and the hallucinations were awful. I thought someone was hiding outside my bedroom window and every time I slept I felt like these fingers were pointing into my face and touching me all over and spiders were running through my hair. That was without librium.

                      With librium it is so much better and easier. Bearable and much safer although unpleasant. Do let us know how you're getting on.

                      I really hope that you get the right care and back that up with your own determination. As LilBit says, we're all rooting for you.

                            Day 2

                            Hi to you all,
                            Just thought i'd post again to thank-you for your kind words.I can tell from what you've written you are all beautiful people..:l

                            I went to bed at 6pm last night and never got up till 1 today.Di wake a few times,just to drink some lucozade but got back to sleep easy enough.Think the librium helped alot as i never had any weird dreams just sweated a bucketload but i expected that.

                            Anyway,got up this afternoon and took my lib,l-glut,thiamine,kudzo and vitamins so i feel i'm well to get to the evening to my next dose...if i was shook now i'd rattle lol

                            Unable to eat (due to biting my tongue of myself yday morning)though i'm drinking plenty which should keep me ticking along for a while...

                            I hope to be seeing alot of you guys,,,,

                            Will keep you posted on the crack with the antabuse..

                            love & prayers to you all

                              Great job Annie! I'm glad you got the librium. Take care of yourself today. Curl up on the couch, watch movies, and be really gentle with yourself. I had a lot of nausea on day 2. Tea, toast, and bananas was all I could eat. Best wishes!
