Sorry another foody question. Are certain spices good or bad for you? I enjoy Indian and Chinese food but don't want to over do it.
I think that is on the individual, I am on a norm diet, I don't know if any food that is a prob, if a seizure does come about which I don't wish ,but if does I'm not going to stop my daily lifestyle… read more
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 always had trouble speaking clearly when I was having an aura, which is a warning sign for a seizure.
I've been having moments while I'm driving and suddenly don't know exactly where I am. Eventually, I figure it out, and I've never veered from my original intended route. Nonetheless, it's frightening to think this has happened three times. Is this epilepsy, early onset dementia, Alzheimer's or something else? Has anyone else experienced the same thing?
Ye, time to time, no prob ,
At 16 years old, I was being sexually abused and started to sweat a lot underarms. I tried everything. What is this I hear about seizures and BO. Please don't tell me that is the reason I couldn't feel clean.

Hi guys,
I'm not on any medication at the moment for my tonic clonic and grand mal seizures.
I'm wanting to speak to my Dr about maybe starting Topomax.
Has anyone been on it? Any side effects? Does it help stop seizures?
Did you take topomax in conjunction with other seizure meds or on it's own?
Thanks heaps.
I Was on Topomax and it had some side effects that were tolerable … Stay strong in time you might be thankful 🙏 🙏
When did you get it?
1950s
1960s

1959 is when I was diagnosed at age 7.
I'm finding it hard to keep a relationship due to epilepsy I'm afraid to tell them incase they run or get freaked out over it. It's frightening any advice
When I first started dating the man I eventually married, I didn't tell him immediately. I probably told him on the third or fourth date. I'm sure your need to share the info could depend on how well… read more
