My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed almost 2 years ago. Until last June every seizure she had, had been status epilepticus. But last August, she had very mild seizure which lasted only a few seconds. Does that mean that my daughter will stop having seizures in future?

Has anyone ever experienced a non-epileptic seizure ? I'm not certain that I have these because I haven't been diagnosed. I've done research though on how different types of stress can be a trigger for a seizure. Things like anxiety, depression, or other mental issues. If anyone has ever experienced these, any imput that you have is greatly appreciated. I think I'm going to start by doing just some general therapies like meditation or yoga, I'm sure there are other things that can be used as… read more

Hello everyone . Has any of you had a bad experience with ADE meds, meaning that they end up worsening the seizure activity instead of reducing it. I'm already at the 3rd med that did this and I'm already starting to get worried. I know that worsening seizures is a side effect for all antiepileptic meds, why that happens is beyond my comprehension. Anyway I know this is a rather rare side effect, for example in lamotrigine it's a 1/10000 cases incidence which is very rare but... what the hell… read more

I realize my anger is possibly a trigger but does anyone else experince it?

What does everyone mean by what " triggers" you this may be a dumb question but can Episodes/ fits be triggered by things other then like getting scared or stuff like that ?
I feel like when people are talking to me about random things I sometimes get this feeling like a random word almost sets something off?

My triggers are, the heat, strobe lights, stress, lack of water, lack of food, and really cold weather.

My question today is quite simple. How can I continue doing sports and not have seizures? I want to stay in good shape which started requiring some exercises with small weights/ dumbbells

However I noticed that some time after I work out I have seizures… what is the way to find out how much I can exercise without provoking my seizures? Any ideas on that?
