Has Anyone Used Oniment For An Ear Affection?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I was advised to use the oniment 3 times a day, but I find the onimnent doesn't absorb or I may have put too much in the ear canal so do I still do the other doses even if the cream hasn't absorb yet?
I decided to let it absorb first as I'm think it's way too much adding the next dose I'm so confused.

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Does Anyone Else Struggle With Memory?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question đź’­

It doesn't matter how much I try paying attention to the conversation. I couldn't tell you everything word for word even if it's just happened. It's like it goes in one ear and out the other. Like following instructions if I've been given 3/4 things to do if I've not written down I would be able to remember 3 & 4 but not 1 & 2

Learning Disabilities Along With Epilepsy
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question đź’­

So as I walk down this path of learning more and more about our disability. I have learned that other learning disabilities are not uncommon for people with epilpesy. I had 1 neurologist explain as if there is something majorly wrong with the brain like seizures it's not unlikely for some other odd things to be in there
My self I am dyslexic, So I guess with those of us that were born with epilepsy have you ever noticed or been diagnosed with a learning disability
I know this might be a big… read more

Is There A Good Fix For Physcomotor Slowing/somnolence
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Im a country kid so this app stuff and all the doctors fancy talk never really concerned me. Im 16 and had 9 grand mal seizures over the course of a year. That can scare parents and doctors so they loaded me up on keppra, more than the max advised for my body weight and size. Partly because I have myoclonic seizures too. Well i had the initial major depressive episode and fought that shit hard, only regret is not letting anyone know. If i learned anything though is to not take those side effects… read more
