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
No need to apologize. Tell your neurologist's about the depression side effect of that medication
As someone who was once labeled as not likely to ever reach a long-term seizure free state (and have… read more
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 have had epilepsy 52 yrs. I have taken more seizure meds than I can remember and am allergic to over 10. I am currently on 4 AED’s( Dilantin, Vimpat, Zonegran and Klonipin) along with CBD and THC oil. Can someone please give me info...pros and cons? Thank you.
I've had mine since 2001. Every time it goes off I sound like Kermit the frog, which is kinda funny... But even getting R+R when the battery is dying is no biggie. Your medical team will check it… read more

So, this is just weird. Has anyone been shaky just in one hand? My right hand is shaking out of control, while my left hand is steady like a brick.

1. Every once in awhile I would get the hand shakes if I didn’t eat properly.

I've got complex partial seizures with identified abnormality in my temporal lobe. Seizures are focal so my neurologist said surgery is an option I should consider, but I'm pretty scared and not sure it is worth it. My seizures aren't very bad and I could still lead a mostly-normal life but I plan to become a doctor and with sleep deprivation being a major trigger for me it may prevent me from pursuing my desire to work in a hospital (which means long hours). Im not sure about the process of… read more
