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
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?

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.
There are 2 possibilities, why I get shaky hands.

Yeah I know how you feel

I'm on that but I'm just getting immune to every medicine 😢 I wouldn't take Felbamate
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?
It all depends on how long the EEGV is . For one day, they won’t do a thing with meds.
From 4 - 7 days they will decrease your meds little bit at a time everyday
They want to try and get as big of… read more
Since being diagnosed, I’ve been having lots of confusing dreams, I can never work out what’s going on in the dream, or if I do I completely forget. I then feel really confused and sometimes have a sense of déjà vu .
Yeah it happens usually when I go to sleep in a bad mood or too late but sometimes just random. They feel like I'm someone else watching a movie in my head that I just don't get if I even remember the… read more
