Do You Think We Would Qualify?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

My neuro told me that Epilepsy is not a qualifying condition, but NY State released the list of who would qualify next. It says:

Beginning February 15, 2021:
Adult New Yorkers of any age with the following conditions qualify for the vaccine:

"Neurologic conditions including but not limited to Alzheimer's Disease or dementia"

We have a neurological condition, but of course it's different than dementia. I can't find any further definition. Would you go ahead and try to get an appointment… read more

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member My sister, who got her shots along with me, was wiped out the day after, but I was lucky that all I got from the second shot was just like the first -- the "mosquito bite"… read more

Is There Anyone On Tegretol Who Has Also Been Vaccinated Covid-19
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Due to many controversial criticism etc. against the Covid-19 vaccination for people with epilepsy, I did not get the vaccination. But due to work requirements, I am strongly considering getting a vaccination
I take Tegretol (600mg / day). But as I have read, that some older antiepileptic medications can 'collide' with Covid vaccinations, especially with Tegretol. Due to the way both, the vaccination and how Tegretol work in the body, it is possible that getting a Covid jab can induce long… read more

Covid Shots
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hey Guys,
I haven't been on for a while and I'm sure it's already been asked but....
How many of you have had the Covid-19 shots (and which one and why).
Also, my doctor wants me to get Pfizer along with my partner,
but by the time he gets it his work would have started and he won't because he hasn't had the shot.
Again, we can have the Astra in a few days and everything would be alright.
I'm very confused,

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member

Vaccine & Epilepsy
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone gotten the vaccine? Do you feel it has made seizures worse? Have any of y'all heard of shedding? I know it's a touchy subject for a lot of people. Personally I am NOT vaxxed, nor will I be getting it. I am surrounded by people that are.

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member

I've had all the shots including the updated covid shots. Also all flu shots are up to date.
68 yrs old feeling good.

How Are We Suppose To Deal With This?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I really feel bad because i mentioned that i was not going to take the vaccine under any circumstances. Now i plan to visit family in NYC soon. Following the travel advisory news they are trying to secure themselves in having anyone and all passengers traveling domestically will need to have proof that you have taken the vaccine. How do you feel about this forceful decision now that J and J have put a stop on the vaccine because of blood clot issues?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member
