Does Anyone Else Get Sudden Chills And A Sudden Body Jerk Occasionally?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
New Orleans, LA

Has anyone else ever experienced sudden chills that cause your body to jerk every so often? It's a bit hard to describe, but throughout my life, I've had these chills occur from time to time. They can happen when I'm cold, but not exclusively. Typically, I'll get goosebumps, and then my body will make a sudden jerk before returning to normal.

I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 22 months old, but since starting Keppra in Kindergarten, I have not experienced any seizures. There was a single… read more

Health Insurance

New Orleans, LA

What is the best company to get health insurance with? I turn 26 in April and will no longer be able to get my medicine through my mother's insurance. I take name brand Keppra and cannot afford to pay for it outright. However, it is the only thing that has ever helped, I tried switching to generic when I was younger and ended up having a seizure after being seizure free for five years. I've been back on name brand ever since then and have been seizure free now for 13 years. If anybody could give… read more

I took Keppra XR. Insurance changed it generic and seizures increased. I had to get prior authorizations. Dr stated it has to be name brand due to the ineffectiveness of the generic. But I was… read more

I love live music and concerts; the excitement and being included in the moment, the crowd's involvement, even the loudness. It's sort of amazing that those things aren't triggers for my seizures, and… read more

Caribou, ME

My boyfriend asked me to attend a concert with him. I am new to having this disease so I am learning about it. I have seizures that come on at anytime with or without triggers and have never been to one am not sure if it would trigger them due to lights. We both want me to attend but he understands why I'm hesitant he cares about my health. I don't want this disease to control my life but I don't want to do anything that will put me more at risk for an episode. Also is getting headaches part… read more

Musicogenic Epilepsy

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Minneapolis, MN

Does anyone else have this form of epilepsy? I'm starting to feel like a test case and it hasn't even been 1.5 years since my epilepsy diagnosis. I started with focal seizures, after tests was determined to also have autoimmune epilepsy and now we are testing for musicogenic epilepsy since 8 out of my last 10 seizures I have been around music. We tested it when I had an EEG and I couldn't make it through a full song without having a seizure.

I think I read somewhere on here in an article that there were 80+ types. A lot are rare but they are also finding new ones as well.
