Hello
A while back, I had a seizure that caused me to fall on my face and damage my top front teeth. It took sone time, but they’re finally fixed! My dentists and dental assistant are worried about me damaging my teeth again so they made me a custom fit dental guard. The guard is supposed to protect my teeth from grinding as well.They said the guard is optional and that I could wear it for a few hours in the day or in the night while I sleep. However, they keep highly recommending I wear it.… read more

The light may not exactly flash but it moves along the side, front to back, of your peripheral vision in one of your eyes. Also, does anybody else get it when you change to light or darker settings? For example, If you walked from a brighter to a darker section of a room, or if a large piece of hair suddenly falls near your eyes and blocks light.

Ok finally I have a question. I read about a treatment for seizures that triggered by stress and lack of sleep. I cannot seem to find or remember the name of it. Can somebody help me with this?

I need a better substitute for soda.

I read that there is a belief that epileptics share certain personality traits, more common/recognizable in those with TLE. I started reaerching it because I felt like I saw commonalities and was surprised to see so much research on the subject. I don't think anyone would know better than us. What do you think?

I was put on vimpat a few months ago
In the hopes of weaning off of topamax all together since topamax is not safe with pregnancy. Since starting vimpat I have been feeling extremely tired and just not like myself at all. It has not gotten rid of my seizures at night so my nuerologist wants to keep me on it a bit longer to see if it will kick in. Does anyone have experience with this medication and know how long it took to get rid of seizures/what dosage? Did the side effects get better?

Thanks

Been a labourer all my life only became an epileptic four years ago at 25 . No one seems to want to take on the liability . Sydney NSW

What can I do for dry mouth? So many of these medications cause dry mouth and tooth decay. Does anyone have any solutions?

I’m a teenager and sometimes I feel like an outcast because I don’t have a license or a car. It just sucks asking for a ride all the time and they get mad at you. It’s just I’m struggling with this so much. I just want to feel like I have some control.
