I have days where I have to really fight to stay awake. It's next to impossible to keep my eyes open.
I've been tested for a lot of things; but so far no answers.
Yesterday I underwent a Doppler ultrasound of my carotid arteries. (I'll have to wait several days for the results.)
Has anyone else experienced such sleepiness?

I have to a video eeg done. I have watched some YouTube videos, but still have questions. Will they just stop all my medications as soon as i am in the hospital? Or what?

I live with epilepsy day after day and my dream is to be a video editor but there’s been another dream stopping from happening because of all these meds I’m going to attempt to try it anyways though by training myself for the Navy. I hope my body can take this dream. This is important.

It's happened quite a few times at bedtime most recently last night, i feel heavy and disconnected but also like my body is moving around, my eyes quickly moving around...

I have reached a point where trying to work is no longer an option for me. The whole process of applying for disability seems very overwhelming. I did get through the initial application so now I am waiting to see what is next. I was told I may be sent to some specific doctors chosen by the Social Security Administration. I am not currently on any medication because everything I have tried to date makes me sick and my regular doctor said I am "medication resistant". I would just like to have… read more

I have heard in the past from several friends who have tried many others including surgery, implants or non-medication alternative methods. However, I think it would help if those of you who have to share your experience with those are now at the point where they have been told that medication will never allow them to reach a long-term seizure free state.

If Q + A section was better organized, then I would not have to ask this question, but we have a support site, so we have to do what we can… read more

In the case of most of us (unless those who suffered brain damage that specifically damage to long-term memory in the inner brain with the hippocampus and memory central command) or are suffering from dementia (easier to get a test now that can show if you have early stages or soon will have do to recent research published earlier this year), then all of your memories (nothing that occurs during a seizure except those seizures like the Simple Partial Seizures that you are completely aware… read more
