I have that happen to me at times. I found it is because i think to much about having a seizure. It helps me to take a two min walk and yell at myself. I normally tell myself this. “Stop it dumb *** your ok.

I’ve been having trouble with working lately. I’ve talked with the dr about it. My legs go numb and I can’t walk in the am. I’m having tests done. I’m not sure what I’m going to do.

I can't work due to mine. I have a hearing in a few months for disability because of it. With a lot of my seizures, it causes me to vomit. I've done that at work too many times. Not exactly great for a customer experience, not fun for me either, it is rather embarrassing. My last job let me go because I called in or had to leave early so much. Almost all the absences were due to my seizures or the after effects.

I have had to quit working primarily because the lamictal state and effects effects my memory, word finding, coordination etc resulting in me having to miss work and the lamictal states have lasted up to seven days.
