Hi , just read an old message posted on Epilepsy Foundation many years ago which is similar to my condition. I had a dual pacemaker 14 yrs ago then soon after had vacant seizures. I then went on Lamotrigine which controlled them for 10 years. But 2022 I had another pacemaker as it was 10 yrs old. Then afterwards seizures started but with fainting episodes.

Thank you ! I’ve emailed, messaged Epilepsy Foundation and Epilepsy research without any response. The doctors and consultants just send phone appointments. I just don’t see anyone I lost my job because of the lack of corporation.
I also was told I was a liability “dangerous “. But soon after I had my first pacemaker I thought how can I now have seizures when I never had in the past. The implant gives out low voltage impulses of which impulses around my right lobe can cause a seizure. When I mentioned it to the consultant he looked vacant to my question. But I’ve never seen by a doctor they just phone you up unless I’m laying on a stretcher I have no hope. I shall continue with the emails eg resending them until they respond…. Epilepsy Foundation etc. I shall then update you all!. But thank you for understanding I just hope these so called professionals did.

Abstract
FOR MANY YEARS it has been recognized that specific sensory stimuli can precipitate convulsive attacks in susceptible individuals. Such reflex or sensory precipitated epilepsy (SPE) is uncommon and is found in only 5% to 7% of patients with epilepsy.1,2 The following communication describes an JAMA- Epilepsy Induced by Cardiac Pacemaker
And I'll do some research about pacemaker linked to seizures
I can understand cuz I lost my job because they told me they seen me as a liability issue because of where I had three seizures on the job it was all in spread out but after the third one they told me that I was a liability issue and they had to let me go
