So this is a little confusing but, I have no idea what is my personality and what is my epilepsy. For example, it usually takes a lot for me to get even a little bit of motivation to do the basic housework which gets me thinking ‘is this my epilepsy or something else making me unmotivated or am I just plain lazy?’ 🤷♀️
I hope I managed to explain that half decently 😂 I also hope I can talk to someone/a few people that feel the same way ☺️
Either way, thank you for reading that essay! ☺️x
TerranceKey: Thank you for your comment, that’s really helped ☺️
By the way, I kind of new to this site so don’t know how to reply to comments properly! Im sorry if you don’t get to see this comment 😩
I'm 62 & epileptic ( on 5 different meds for uncontrolled epilepsy ) My neuro said he did understand how I was still standing ! Idon't think other people realise what we have to deal with , memory- wise ,slow thinking ,tiredness etc Housework is the least of our worries.in my opinion Take care I've added you to my team ,hope that's ok & don't worry I don't know how to comment either 😃
I think it's a little bit of both. Keppra has you sleepy, tired, and unmotivated. Then you putting more stress on yourself by thinking that your not doing your part. That stress will cause you to have seizures as well. Try not to stress yourself I'm sure he understands.
Id worked for over twenty-five years and coworkers would come to our emailorys and they were grateful to have me on their team after Id had a seizure in front of them and I am at times very grateful for that
I have been feeling this way also lately, and have wondered if I am changing as I age, or is it the epilepsy? (Which has gotten worse in last few years). If I'm not at work, I just have no energy to do anything.
