When Do You Contact The Neuro Over A Seizure?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

My neurologist prefers that I contact him after a grand mal or a large amount of absence seizures in a short amount of time. Right now, I know that I have hit 4 of my major triggers in the last 3 days causing me to seize.

If you know you have had triggers (lack of sleep, stress, lights, etc) that cause your seizures, do you still contact your doctor?

The only time I ever had to contact my doctor , was what I was getting be a bad reaction or bad side effects from a new meds change. By my Dr. Checking thru my seizures log book they would ask questions on what my frequencies are like and whether or not they change from last visit. Then what ever direction we decided from that point would and maybe the path I take.
