Question: I am a 48 yr. old female. I am currently disabled from a spine injury that left me with 18 " rods in my spine and on 100 mg. Fentynl Patches every 3 days for pain and 30 mg. morphine sulphate as needed for break through pain. I am also on Dilatin (100mg. 3 x per day) because I was abused as a child and suffered a head injury that left me with epilepsy. I suffered a seizure last week after forgetting to take my meds. My meds make me forgetful sometimes and I periodically forget to take my pills so it occassionally happens, not often but once in awhile. However, because of how I happened to be lying that evening, my head turned upwards causing my toungue to block my windpipe. I couldn't get any air so I quickly blacked out. When I awoke a little over an hour later I was walking with a limp and the white of one of my eyes was a solid blood red towards the bottom. I was sleeping on the couch when it happened and I was still on the couch when I awoke about an hour and a half later so I know I didn't fall off the couch onto something and injure myself that way. I remember one time when I was younger before I started blacking out during the bad seizures when one of my legs would twist up backwards so I assume that is where the limp came from because it was the same leg and the muscles felt sprained in the same area but what in the world happened to my eye? Can that be caused from lack of oxygen? Is there something that is beginning to happen during seizures that could possibly start causing me serious harm like tearing an eye tendon or something?

What's the worst that can happen if I'm alone and I go into a seizure and I just continue to seize and seize unattended?
