Anyone had seizures that started after electric shock?

Posted by bern1958 @bern1958, Nov 12, 2019

Hello, I am a 59 year old male from Ireland. My seizures began shortly after receiving a 3 phase electric shock. I am convinced the two are connected and wonder if anyone out there has experienced similar? I have undergone scans etc and there is nothing showing up as to cause of my seizures.
Overnight my life has changed,
as in Ireland you cannot work machinery after two seizures. So I am out of work and had to sell my car. This has been a heavy blow and hard to get my head around, for now I cope with the aid of antidepressants and of course anti seizure medications. Hope to find someone going through something similar.
Good luck to you all.

Hello my name is Jesse i live in Ohio. My seizures started about 10 years ago. I was working for Nelson Tree Company doimg powerline clearance. I was training and was using a hand saw and cut a limb and it blew into a 69,000 Volt powerline which i was shocked. 2 months later i started getting weird feelings which turned out to be left tempro lobe seizures, now in the past three months ive been having grand mal seizures up to 5 a day. And my poor kids have to hold my head back when there happining because i stop breathing. The bad thing when i was shocked work wouldent let me report it for fear of loosing the contract with the power company so now i just get to suffer. I havent been able to work the last few months i work at honda transmisson building 4x4's. I cant work cuz i could get injured. I tried fileing short term disabilty through work but they said its pre existing and denied it bit the grand mal seizures arnt pre existing. Im just at a loss i dont know what to do

So agree. Contact OSHA immediately! Don’t let any more time pass. Second call to attorney
