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
Will it set off with excessive motion.
I have heard of this but I am afraid to shell out the money only ro have it not work. I'm waiting for it to be out a little longer so I can hear how well it works. If it works well, I would be more… read more
Days after a seizure?
People need to tell me if I have a seizure too. However, I have been blessed to now be 9 months seizure-free. God has performed miracles to keep me alive and now has performed a blessing such that I… read more
I was told I have Grand Mal and other Seizure Disorders one of them called Pseudoseizures . Anyone else ever hear of this? I'm told it's hard to diagnose and often gone undiagnosed or is missed. My family and I was just grasping the Grand Mal Seizures now there's more to try and sort thru?
I agree especially with MarKC - thanks for reminding me of ' non epileptic seizures' I've also heard of them being called ' pseudoseizures' too
I'm a mum of a 15 year old but as I've got older epilepsy has become unfortunate!!!
I was thinking the same thing
So I'm going back to college. I start on August 11th. Here's my deal though. I've been in and out of college since I graduated in 2009 because of Epilepsy problems. I've gone to college three other times already. Also for three different things. Should have stayed with the same track I know but I'm indecisive and I get bored easily.

Has anyone had side effects with certain foods, with your medications. Cause ever since I started taken lamitical I cant eat any of the spanish beans I used eat. Which is weird. It used to be fine when I ate spanish beans with rice but ever since I started taken lamitical for my seizures is that a side effect or no?
I'm on that but I'm just getting immune to every medicine 😢 I wouldn't take Felbamate
Odd question but I noticed at the age of 39 a huge reduction of periods.it’s not a huge deal for me but I’m trying to figure out if it is medication the start of menopause or something else.I’m just curious my mom had hysterectomy young and passed away so I can’t ask her about other family members to find out if it’s a normal thing for my family
I want to say early menopause...not a doc or anything. I too experienced huge reduction in periods which lasted about 14 months and then the torture was over with. I'm 50 yrs old and haven't had a… read more
