Thx 🙏🏼 but there are no experts unless your rich here sadly so
I can always tell when I have a seizure because it feels like I was rubbing my eyes on the carpet. It normally feels like this all day. Does this happen to anyone else? Does anyone know why this happens?
I can tell I've had a nocturnal seizure in part because my eyes feel grainy. I think they probably dry out from being open, even though I don't recall the episode.
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 do not like any drugs. I never take pain medication, unless it’s Ben-Gay or Icy Hot. I take Tylenol if needed, but only take the prescribed dosage and stay in bed.
The reason for writing a prescription should be thoroughly explained to a patient. Ask questions! That physician is working for YOU

In high school (1980 - 1984), I had some issues, but I was still very intelligent (though did not know until 2021 that I was suffering from brain damage from the return of my Epilepsy in 1980 to when I was finally diagnosed in treated in 1997 --- this only being possible because research was published in 1995 that proved that Epileptic Partial Seizures existed. Thus some of the things that so many more older epileptics than me were being judged for before 1995 -- such as daydreaming, bad… read more
