Does anyone else try to fight the… read more
Positive Romberg test?
Positive Romberg test?
I very quickly failed the Romberg Test (where I put my feet together and close my eyes), as I started falling sideways and the neurologist actually had to catch me within 1 second of my closing my eyes. It feels like when my eyes are closed I have no idea where I am in space, nor where the floor is! Is this a common occurrence? If not, should I be worried?
My neurologist immediately ordered an MRI with contrast after failing that test, so regardless I should have answers within the next… read more

Does loud noices or music make any of you have sezuires and high aniexty?
Hello everyone, I was just wondering do any of you have sezuires from loud music in a closed area like my self. Also do you have high anxiety from noice that is unusually louder than usual. I recntly in the last couple of years picked up on this. When someone yells at me in anger sezuires happen no doubt. I ran off one time and hit my head on the wall during a complex partial and dont remember anything. Just woke up with a knot on my head… read more

CBD vs Ativan
CBD vs Ativan
I have clusters of seizures that take hours to break (100-150 seizures) and i take 2-3 milligrams of Ativan to break the cluster. Anyone know if CBD would benefit me.
I use Ativan and CBD oil, it doesn’t seem to bother me at all. In my case, I definitely need both, especially if stressed or tired.

What are your auras like? And if you've had an RNS or VNS or other surgery do you still have them?
What are your auras like? And if you've had an RNS or VNS or other surgery do you still have them?
My seizures are mostly controlled, but I still have auras. Mine might last for hours of feeling clumsy, kinda slow, a heavy or twitchy left hand at times, and anxiety, maybe claustrophobia. Kind of upset I still have them since it's been almost a year since the RNS was placed. I'd really like to know more about different peoples auras
I have these really odd auras, sometimes they generalize into convulsions but they always start out the same, I get a weird feeling behind my eyes, I… read more

Can you have tonic clonic seizures with your eyes closed
I was just told by someone in an epilepsy group on Facebook that I am part of that if your eyes are closed during a TC seizure then it's not a "real seizure,and the person is faking it" is this right? i no im epileptic im on meds but I'm kinda worried now cos from what people who see my seizures have said is that at the start of my seizures my eyes roll back in my head and my eyes close.
