My son is set to have left temporal lobectomy on September 28 2018. I am wanting to talk to people who have had this done and your experiences. We are very nervous.
Hello,
Me and my boyfriend are thinking about having a baby in the future. I have a generalized form of epilespy that is controlled, but I will be on medicine for the remainder of my life. My doctor says I can't be on my meds while pragnaet and I guess I want to hear stories about what this has been like for other people
Hope this helps
I’ve been trying to lose weight for 2 years now probably 3-4 honestly but losing pounds is definitely a challenge and building motivation is hard so usually I just listen to Motivational Music or something that describes a fight in a song. What do y’all do for more motivation? When you want to change.

My son is 19, just recently been diagnosed with generalised epilepsy after 1 1hr EEG. His first tonic clonic was on Dec 28, second one 2 days ago.

Like what other people have said I'm sure Your son will live a normal happy life. My guess is he will be able to go to college if he wants to. It may be hard, but people with epilepsy are smart… read more

I'm training to be a teacher and I was wondering if anyone is a teacher and has epilepsy? Is it difficult to manage your epilepsy and your job?

I know exactly how you feel! All of my seizures have happened in the morning, and that makes me nervous since I'm at school early in the morning. I hope everything goes well with your teacher… read more

"Reduction in life expectancy can be up to 2 years for people with a diagnosis of idiopathic/cryptogenic epilepsy, and the reduction can be up to 10 years in people with symptomatic epilepsy. Reductions in life expectancy are highest at the time of diagnosis and diminish with time. Our model provides broad estimates, but it appears that the higher mortality rates in people with newly diagnosed epilepsy translate into decreased life expectancy."
You can’t really say when you go to heaven. That’s God’s choice so I don’t believe that stuff about life expectancy with seizures
Good way to help yourself. Like it.
