Vaccines
I wouldn’t know. Been to the hospital numerous times with some stays for a few days and I have never gotten Covid. Wish I could say the same for epilepsy
I’ve thought about getting the vaccine but I’m scared it might do something to my health because I have seizures if anyones got it please give me answers and your personal opinion
Ive had all 3 now. The second pfizer left me really sick w/ flu like symptoms for two days. I did have a GM after that. The third was only about half as bad for flu like symptoms. No seizure.
No the vaccine didn't cause any seizures for me but I still ended up getting covid and had a seizure from it
I went in for my 1st vaccines and did just fine. But when I went for the booster, it knocked me into seizures for at least 3 days/nights.
Unfortunately, too much information about vaccines and potential effects from any of them (way back to when the first vaccines were created for polio, small pox and others) is not known but most of… read more
Has anyone gotten the vaccine? Do you feel it has made seizures worse? Have any of y'all heard of shedding? I know it's a touchy subject for a lot of people. Personally I am NOT vaxxed, nor will I be getting it. I am surrounded by people that are.
I've had all the shots including the updated covid shots. Also all flu shots are up to date.
68 yrs old feeling good.
No problems
Hey Guys,
I haven't been on for a while and I'm sure it's already been asked but....
How many of you have had the Covid-19 shots (and which one and why).
Also, my doctor wants me to get Pfizer along with my partner,
but by the time he gets it his work would have started and he won't because he hasn't had the shot.
Again, we can have the Astra in a few days and everything would be alright.
I'm very confused,
I am alright I had the Oxford Astra zenica an I am perfectly alright they are saying for the booster we might get the one the doctors are asking you to have they have studied having them mixed first… read more
Now that a vaccine for covid is in further trials is anyone worried it will interfere with their current epilepsy medication?
I had the first of the two Astra Zenica injections and it’s had no bad effects on my epilepsy at all. Due the second one in roughly 8 weeks now.
i heard from dr fauci (maker of this vax) that if you have major allergies you can not get the vax. but didn't say what it is. so my question is, what is a major allergies? i mean i have wheat, rye and barley problems and that is on the list of major allergies. so i can not get vax? just curious of what you guys think about it.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member that is my point. everyone is different. my family has auto immune problems. i have seizures partly because of auto immune and partly because of my kindergarten boosters vax… read more
I didn't used to hit the floor when I had a seizure but now I do. I guess that could just be the epilepsy progressing and I'm just being paranoid 😆
I was traveling in Europe and Asia in December of 2019. In mid January 2020 I had my first grand mal seizure. I have had 2 additional since then. All my COVID tests have been negative and and I since been vaccinated. We can’t find any other trigger and I have heard about long lasting issues related to COVID infections even after testing negative.
I have generalized epilepsy but hadn't had a seizure for almost 3 years then I had 2 breakthrough ones last weekend, 2 days later I tested positive for Covid 19. I've been searching Google to find any… read more
