Hello
A while back, I had a seizure that caused me to fall on my face and damage my top front teeth. It took sone time, but they’re finally fixed! My dentists and dental assistant are worried about me damaging my teeth again so they made me a custom fit dental guard. The guard is supposed to protect my teeth from grinding as well.They said the guard is optional and that I could wear it for a few hours in the day or in the night while I sleep. However, they keep highly recommending I wear it.… read more
Likewise, back when the dentist I had who told me that I should get the mouth guard (because I was grinding my teeth) told me that I needed a referral from my neurologist (2nd neurologist) at the… read more
Mine don't, either. Where are yours coming from? I was told mine could be coming from too deep in the frontal temporal lobe to show up on an EEG.
The light may not exactly flash but it moves along the side, front to back, of your peripheral vision in one of your eyes. Also, does anybody else get it when you change to light or darker settings? For example, If you walked from a brighter to a darker section of a room, or if a large piece of hair suddenly falls near your eyes and blocks light.
Sure, almost everyone gets this at some point. It is most likely caused by vitreous separation, something that happens to us as we age. Check with your eye doctor to make sure, though.

It’s 1 degree. Feels like -16! Lots of car accidents. Glad I stocked up on groceries last week! Warm and cozy here.
Check out my first flower I am going to dry and frame!
Me2 and rain as well.
Ok finally I have a question. I read about a treatment for seizures that triggered by stress and lack of sleep. I cannot seem to find or remember the name of it. Can somebody help me with this?
My Dr. Has me on Clonezepam to help me sleep . For stress I'm not sure what's out there that will not interact will your seizure meds. The best thing to do is talk to your Doctor.
I was put on vimpat a few months ago
In the hopes of weaning off of topamax all together since topamax is not safe with pregnancy. Since starting vimpat I have been feeling extremely tired and just not like myself at all. It has not gotten rid of my seizures at night so my nuerologist wants to keep me on it a bit longer to see if it will kick in. Does anyone have experience with this medication and know how long it took to get rid of seizures/what dosage? Did the side effects get better?
Thanks
What can I do for dry mouth? So many of these medications cause dry mouth and tooth decay. Does anyone have any solutions?
I know how you feel @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member. I don’t and won’t smoke , but I am on 5 different AED meds. Yet my bad breath makes me feel like one.
Been a labourer all my life only became an epileptic four years ago at 25 . No one seems to want to take on the liability . Sydney NSW
I agree. I only got diagnosed 5 years ago. Im legally not allowed to work. Its super tough, but unfortunately the truth. So just be careful when you disclose it. Sorry ❤
