Every couple of years I have seizures then my Dr wants to try something new or ups the dosage. The meds I'm on now are making me dizzy and off balance
I am 100% positive that hormones are playing a huge factor in both the frequency and intensity of my seizures but I’m not sure where to start to address it. If anyone has any suggestions, PLEASE let me know!
I started with seizures just as I was coming out of menopause at 54. I’m going to be 64 in June. All of my family and friends as well as myself think my epilepsy was brought on by a hormonal change. I… read more

I've had seizures for as long as I can remember. I have petit mall and occasionally grand mall. Every MRI and eeg I've done has been normal. I do have heart problem called long qt syndrome so I'm not sure if my seizures are heart related or not. I'm waiting to hear back from my doctor at an epilepsy clinic in Pittsburgh PA

I usually have 2-3 grand mal seizures each year. I've had 8 now, in just the first 5 months of my pregnancy. Given my experience over the last 21 years of my life since I was diagnosed, I think I'll have a seizure during labour (fatigue & stress). Its a huge concern of mine and I think a planned C-section is a better option.

Since my last seizure, I find my attention span is much shorter, especially when reading. Anyone else experience this?
Thanks, Kathryn13.
I'm in the proces of applying for HCPC registration and I need to declare about having epilepsy and my relatively recent seizures - will this impact me getting my registration?
Occupational health have previously advised no lone-working, which would impact my work immensely! Anyone have similar experiences?
I didn't want others to know when I was diagnosed at 41
But I have had some unfortunate issues in which I didn't have any idea of what happened.... I guess I was on a vent and when I finally woke up… read more
I’m really happy that Tampa Bay Bucs made it. They’re playing home against Dallas Cowboys Monday night!
I wish I could say something but my husband is a football official (he is an umpire). Both he and. I would be in so much trouble if it was found that he made a prejudiced statement. So enjoy the… read more
