Are breakthrough seizure usually provoked by a trigger? Or just needing a med adjustment? I am NOT experiencing this issue but like to ask questions and stay as informed as possible.

I am glad that you got that under control.🙂 Have a stressless day and try to relax. Stress is also bad for us.
I was taken to the ER 17NOV2023 @ around 10:15 AM
My neighbor, found me unresponsive on the couch sitting up, but with my head leaning backwards, my eyes rolled back, and my mouth wide open. She said she didn’t know how long I was like that and she also said that I would raise my head up try to communicate, but just made strange mumbling sounds
My neighbor also said, That my body suddenly stiffened up and my body was partly on the couch and the floor. According to her she couldn’t turn me… read more
