Getting Covid And Seizures

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Frisco, TX

Hi all,

Thankfully, I have not yet gotten sick. I have been vaccinated. But now, there are Covid cases where I live and we are being warned to start wearing masks. I need to wear one anyway - but that is another story.

My Question: Has anyone gotten sick from Covid and found that there was ANY effect on their seizures?

Yes I've had covid and had several epilepsy episodes but I'm still here and alive and kicking myself for giving up a good job in order to go on a family vacation and yes they would hire me back but I would have to see the doctor in order to get clearance to go back to work on a cruise ship
