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 always had trouble speaking clearly when I was having an aura, which is a warning sign for a seizure.
Hello
I was talking to one of my clients today and she told me that her 52yo daughter diagnosed with epilepsy couple years ago and it’s drug resistant
Her seizures number got to 14 seizures a day. She used to see a chiropractor for her lower back pain and there she found out that maybe the chiropractor can help her.
No it’s 38 days she goes to the chiropractor for the seizure treatment and she is seizure free 🙏🏼 (38 days seizure free)

Is there a template or journal you can purchase to help with that?
I use the epsy app that I found at the google play store
I have recently been told that the Dr believes I am having focal awareness seizures. My 30min EEG revealed nothing and I questioned why certain things were not done and the nurse told me to make another appointment. It is coming up in Jan.
I have had migraines for years and been on Topamax25 mg since 2012 to help keep them at bay since I ruptured my carotid artery(it is healed, no surgery, no scar tissue etc). For years I have had bouts where I stand up and get dizzy and lightheaded and… read more
My daughters not diagnosed with Epilepsy, however she has been having mental health issues and is waiting for a assessment. Is it worthwhile me seeking my epilepsy nurse to add input.
My neurologist and mental doctor consult on my meds I take some mental drugs that prevent seizures and depression at the same time because my mental doctor knows about my seizures
It’s call Cluster Seizures ( one seizure to another seizure moments later ). If this happens a lot , you may want to talk to your son’s Dr. , next appt.. ask him/her about Lorazapam ( Seizure… read more
I do so at my own discretion and usually don't have a prob with doing, I'm open when that time comes around and what I need to bring up to whoever I'm talking too.
There's a term....equity. Even after everything that's been done through history it still isn't shown properly or consistent. Like my university wasn't. I made a stand I let them know I'll set a fire… read more
