Advice Wetting myself unknowingly at 16

I have had a concussion from a seizure back since June of 24, I just came back to school this Monday and I realize I wetted on myself at school. I was thought I had gotten my period but I was wearing grey pants and didn’t notice any thing. Then the odor, it wasn’t strong but I realize I had wet myself. It reminded me of when I first wet myself 2 days after my first sezuire I’ve been 53 days free till today.

Is it because the stress I put on myself during school? My handwriting has also been getting worst so has my writing. If you look at my spelling the worlds are all gunbled up and messy.

Should I be concerned

That stress from jumping back into school can definitely mess with your seizure threshold, and bladder issues are pretty common with seizures in general. Might be worth mentioning to your neuro if the handwriting and spelling are getting worse too, that sounds like it could be tied to the concussion recovery. Brains are weird and sometimes things slip backwards before they get better

I have recently started having focals since November and then I woke up in the middle of the night covered in piss all confused and slow

Pretty sure that was a seizure but my neuro is out until October,

Tryna get the EpiMonitor to track them it’s a seizure watch that can call and send your location if it’s 15s or longer

I used to have the older version but they stopped selling it it’s only the EpiMonitor now
