I revised the lyrics to Gloria Gaynor's classic "I Will Survive". Have fun with it!!

"I WILL SURVIVE EPILEPSY"

At first I was afraid
I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live
With you on my inside
And I spent oh so many nights
Thinking how this was so wrong
But I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And now you're back
Yes, that’s the case

I take Levetiracetam and tomapax in the morning and at 6pm. I have my alarm is set for both times but sometimes I don't here the one in the morning or I take it and I'll forget that I did rather it's in the morning or afternoon. What I am asking is how do you keep track or what are you using to make sure you didn't forget?

Migraine suffers- there's help

So there's now a name for a MIGRAINE condition called photofobia. It's not a fear Of anything.
It's migraines and other discomforts from different types of light.
Computer screens, cell phones, bright sunlight, indoor lighting. New LEDs, fluorescent bulbs, even snow.

For me I live like a vampire. I can't stand bright light.
For others they get migraines
For others they get from exposure.
(fluorescents make me nauseous).

A couple causes : something about your eyes - cones and rods.
