Is Anyone Else Having The Same Problem Of Not Being Able To See All Of The New Messages?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am still told how many new messages there are each day, but I only have access in the list of a portion of those new messages. For example, right now it indicates that I have 11 more notifications, but there are not any in the new messages box for me to click on. This started a few weeks ago. And I have already contacted the managers of the site (and I was not the first to tell them) and their techs are working on the problem.

Has Anyone Experienced A Change In Seizure Types?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was diagnosed with TLE a year ago.
I was having focal seizures but now I believe I may be having absent seizures. I had a seizure last month and this seizure has made me feel a lot different and it’s my 3rd seizure since 12/2023.

I am on lamictal and have an appt with my neurologist about this but I am curious if anyone else has experienced this?

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member
That’s why I got rid of my VNS. The vibration made me cough and changed my voice whenever it turned on. It didn't help me with seizures either.
