I finally got in touch with a neurologist yesterday but they can’t see me until January, I have been seeing a pcp tho and have been back on my meds I was originally prescribed so when I get to them I’m going to talk to them about it, I haven’t been back to a neurologist in almost 3 years, I just recently got back on my medication, I wasn’t taking very good care of myself for a while but I’m n a much better place in life now and have everything back in order ☺️

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , If you haven’t talked to your Neurologist about the issue, you might mention it to them. My Dad also had seizures but he had bad grand mal seizures & so his seizures were much worse than mine. Years ago when he worked at an automotive repair shop, his seizures got bad enough to where he would start undressing at work & so they eventually let him go. So you might talk to your doctor about the issues & see if a different medication might help. Good luck. Your friend in Texas, Becky

Don't worry about what you do. You'll drive yourself crazy wondering why it happens. You can't control it. Apparantly one night I came stumbling into the house looking for aliens....I don't remember any of it. No I wasn't drunk, I had a seizure while I was outside. Don't overthink why you do things, because you'll never know

I had to learn the hard way through seizures to take better care of myself/Health. If not grand mals we’re coming.

If I come out of a seizure outside of my home, people look at me like I'm a freak, like I just got possessed by demons. Again, something we cannot help
