What are some of the recipes? What do they mean by bad cabs? Is there anyway they know it works?
You just want to eat a lot of meat, eggs cheese, beans, nuts, seeds, and vegetables and if you want to have fruit that's fine I would just try to stay away from Pineapple that's the one that comes to… read more
Hi Everyone,
Please help?
I haven't seen a Neurologist or Specialist for over 30 years, and relied on a GP and Government Hospital for medication in South Africa.
Since having re-located, I requested review and now have an appointment in an Epilepsy Clinic in July.
Obviously, I don't know what to expect and have so many questions; what worries me most is a change of medication when I am so far under control (as far as I'm concerned).I've never had an MRI scan done, and no EEG for over 30… read more
If your worried about an mri the last time i went to the neurologist they put glasses an ear plugs on you i about fell asleep so i wouldn't worry
Does anyone have epilepsy & since you got epilepsy then you ended up with Anxiety? What do you to help yourself calm down & feel more relaxed? I have had epilepsy since I was 8 years old but didn't get Anxiety until around 8 years ago or less.

I've been talking Lamotragine for 2wks after being on Keppra.
I've expecting bad side effects. Tremors, sickness.
Has anyone else had these side effects and how long did they last.
Hi guys,
I'm not on any medication at the moment for my tonic clonic and grand mal seizures.
I'm wanting to speak to my Dr about maybe starting Topomax.
Has anyone been on it? Any side effects? Does it help stop seizures?
Did you take topomax in conjunction with other seizure meds or on it's own?
Thanks heaps.
I hope you have a blessed Christmas holiday also @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member
I was denied again for Disability! I been trying for this since 2012 and still no luck. They say i am capable of taking care of myself since my seizure medications are doing good for a few years. Can they do that to one knowing we have Epilepsy and strive daily just to stay on point? It really disappointed me because we are asking for help and well my neighbor got Disability were he ain't suppose to do any type of work and he is doing side jobs cleaning construction work at homes and cleaning… read more

In the U.K. this lunch time on the news was a item on the ban of Sodium Valproate ([[treatment:Epilim):5886968c6b4dcc620a53edf9]]). Because of the dangers of it. They said go to G.P. if you are worried if you can look at the news on the internet I.T.N. news and it was on that.

My husband has memory issues and he does not have epilepsy so some of it may just be from older age. He asks me to remember things for him so I have to remember for myself and him. LOL
Does anyone have any problems with taking a shower & need it to be a special temperature or else you start to feel like your getting signs of a seizure coming on? I have a hard time with even luke warm water & need almost a cold shower. Does this happen to anyone else & what do you do that helps?
I slowly make it warmer but can't take a long shower & it can't be hot water or too warm so it's almost hot. My Dr. knows the water causes this.
