I had a conversation with a few people here. We all have had difficulties speaking. Getting confused, slurring words, dyslexia getting worse, not being able to put sentences together properly, etc.
If that’s a seizure, what type of seizure is it?
Or is it more likely just side-effects of medications?
Thanks.

I'm 18 years old and have had Absent seizures since I was 2. The many different medicines I have taken have not worked for me. More bad than good. all the side affects. My Dr. is suggesting a VNS.

For the last 30 years I've had an average of 1 - 2 simple partial seizures per month. The meds I've taken has caused my kidneys to form stones...3 trips to the ER and one surgery. My last kidney stone episode was one year ago. My doc told me it was imperative for me to STOP drinking pop and to start drinking alternatives including Powerade, milk. Lots of water. I started drinking Powerade and found I love the stuff...I drink it all the time! The crazy thing about all this is that I'm… read more

Hi everyone,

I've seen people on here who don't swim because it would be disastrous if they had a seizure in the water. I've seen others post that they do swim. Has anyone been told that people with seizures should never swim?

Something some said got to me. Not all forms of epilepsy make tou loose consciensness. I am always alart and and aware of several of my triggers. My sezuires are either absent, mind staring or simple/conplex jerks (like a cold chill).

I have complex partial seizures. My neurologist and I have talked about my license as I have brought it up. He sees no reason to revoke my license and my diagnosis does not require them to be.

Anyone else still have their license?

I have epilepsy and have problems with walking after having so many seizures so there is already damage. (Crutches/walker) but I don't know the specific time and was curious.

So after reading I've read many say they were out or doing something they had a siezure and kept doing what they were doing. Other than now knowing that aoras don't think I'm spelling correctly, are a siezure I guess..... If not what does everyone mean? They weren't flopping on the floor..... I now that's not the only type but I'm still confused.

Thanks for helping me try to understand. I figure asking here directly would help me more than a million things on the G search engine

Had grand mal seizure last night, after I came too. I needed help to bathroom & got sick for 20 minutes or so. I have never had that happen before.
