Fishing
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone with epilepsy taken up fishing and found it relaxing? If anyone goes fishing what happens when you have a seizure standing in the river? Is it really safe?

Fishing can be very relaxing for a lot of people it’s quiet tranquil and if you’re worried about having a seizure while you’re fishing make sure you don’t go alone

I see some Friends get stressed if They don't catch any fish. Me, I appreciate the sounds of the water, maybe a little windy because You smell the Gulf of Mexico, then see how beautiful fish jump out of the Gulf showing how awesome this place is!

Triggers for seizures are not the same as causes for epilepsy. A trigger for someone to have their first seizure may be a stressful situation, but the underlying cause for that person to start having seizures may be quite different. Causes can be genetic or as a result of structural damage to the brain. When I watch TV or listen to music I can feel something funny so I walk away from the noise and it goes away most of the time
