This question just came to me.
Any correlation between loss of appetite and seizure episodes?
I had a major life change in 2014. Since then, I have been eating big meal a day and snacking throughout the last three years. After the breakup in 2014, I went 6 to 8 months with only once a day. Basically starving myself.
My question should have been :
Could me doing that to myself led directly to the episode or no? In everyone's opinion.
Sorry for the confusion and vagueness.
When i have seizures i lose my appetite for the day sometimes 2 days depends on how bad the seizures are. When my seizures are calm my appetite is fine.
no. sometimes i eat and eat and other times i do not eat until 5 pm dinner/supper time. there is no rhyme or reason. the seizures are the same. actually there is a diet called the keto diet where you starve yourself for a day or 2 and then get a high fat low carb diet. it actually reduce the seizures.
I won’t eat for days after a seizure, I loose my appetite and it’s last forever if I have bitten my mouth which can be very painful.
I would say yes it could, but I'm no doctor. But eating help gain the nutrients the body needs to get through the day. With myself if I loose sleep I may have an episode. Sleep is the key to help the body and brain retire from all the work it's done throughout the day. But eating, if a person isn't eating or gaining the nutrients the body needs to make it through each day can cause conflicts. But when I'm having a bad day where I don't feel like eating I make a protein shake. Because maybe you body is use to the one a day meals so maybe try slowly drinking protein shakes they can give your body the vitamins it needs and without the full meal it can make you feel full.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member with the help of all of my team members, it is becoming clearer that the neurologist was probably correct on his diagnosis. Even though I don't want to move it, but it is what it is. everything is becoming clear and I try to be good at inferring things. I know my life is not going to be the same but my diagnosis is a part of me now. That diagnosis there's something that we all have to live with not just me, not just you, but everyone.
