Mine are on the left side where my seizures come from they say and I'm not sure what causes it. Just looking for help. Thank you.

Hi all,

I had my first baby 6 months ago and was able to do it with no meds. Unfortunately I have had two grand mal/tonic clonic seizures since then while sleeping so now I'm taking Keppra and Lamictal. We want to have another baby sometime in the next year or two. Has anyone taken these meds while pregnant? My neurologist has said I need to be on meds for the rest of my life. :-( I'm worried about taking them while preggo...

Hi,
I have been on maternity leave then on disability for an addition 4 months. I have had two major tonic clonic seizures during sleep since being on leave and am now back on meds. I am still having simple partial seizures during sleep. I have a job that requires me to drive all day and sometimes transport children by myself. Should I disclose the new seizures and my history of epilepsy to my job before returning in 2 weeks? I don't want to lose my job or my benefits I have a newborn son.

Hello! I'm new to this site and I have a question that I hope won't garner too much judgment: is anyone else here an epileptic who is (or once was) also an alcoholic? Or do you know someone else who is like that? I am both an epileptic and an alcoholic, and I realize my substance abuse is putting me at an increased risk of having seizures. I very recently committed to getting sober, but I'm curious if anyone else can relate or if anyone knows someone who is in a similar situation to mine.

I got lost. A guy came out of a hardware store and directed me! I felt like a 14 year old. Hilarious!

Does anyone have more than one type of seizure?

Not necessarily an epilepsy question but could relate to epilepsy and I'm sure others with epilepsy may experience it. I just want to get others' experiences with dissociation. I started experiencing dissociation after a traumatic event and it's a little scary to say the least
