I may have had a episode doing that, but I don't remember if it did, my opinion I I don't worry about it that much maybe a scarce bit of, but just take my shower and don't fret about it.

If you don’t feel confident taking a shower standing up , look into getting a medical shower chair.

My mother in-law has one . If it’s a bad day for me , I will use it once in awhile

Taking a shower or baths doesn't affect me but I take my phone in case I have a seizure or my mom needs to get a hold of me

I have never worried about having a seizure in the shower. I just take my shower and be careful .

I remember the days when I couldnt lock the bathroom door or take a bath. I still dont lock the bathroom door but let people know when I am taking a bath. I am ok with the shower. Make sure you have a slip mat for both and maybe a shower chair would be safer. Shallow bath would be safer too.

No, but every time I drop the soap someone is knocking on the door asking me if I’m okay.
