@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member I'm the same I've had it since I was 4 and never really had a official cause I did have 4 health records destroyed in a big flood we had in 2011 so they may have had one but… read more
Since having my first several seizures a I've realized that there are gaps in my memory of single events going back maybe 15 years. I'm very sad when my husband or friends are talking about an event from the past and then ask me if I remember: when we went there... what we did ... etc. Sometimes I recall SOME of the event after discussing and getting a few details about it.
There are also events from the same time span that I DO recall
In my research I (finally) discovered a type of… read more
Hey Peggy! I'm not sure you told me your age in earlier posts. From my research I have learned that late stage onset of Epilepsy is very common. Who knew? I'm 71. Sometimes I feel grateful that… read more
I just read this article on generic keppra causing seizures: https://epilepsytalk.com/2010/07/17/keppra-generic-seizure-drug-contributing-to-more-seizures-side-effects-and-death/ Has anyone experienced this and if so, did taking the non-generic form fix the issue?

So, basically, I just realized that the midazolam makes me feel more negative. I take it to stop gran mals, but it just occurred to me that it’s making me feel bad, even though I never understood before why I felt that way.
Try vitamin supplement B6 100mg. That helps me stabilize my moods.
Do you carry rectal emergency meds like Diastat and how do you feel about people using that on you in public? My son has this meds and he's still young but just wondering how he would feel when used when he is older?
Agreed. I have the rectal medication. The only thing I would keep in mind is that it might be something strangers would not know how use or even be comfortable using it. I'm not trying to shoot down… read more
I have a three year old who started having seizures in June. She had drop, myoclonic and a few real short grand mals. She was put on onfi after a four day visit to children's and that didn't help anything. So they added keppra and it stopped the grand mals. Went back to children's for another eeg in July and they added depakote and it helped tremendously with her drops but she still has some after her afternoon nap into the evening. Mostly head drops but a full drop here and there. Her eeg in… read more
My 9 year old daughter had and still has all the same type of seizures that you describe your child did and then some other kinds too. The keto diet worked wonders until we stopped it due to… read more
I sometimes experience the sound of a distant explosion - only I hear it- is this another kind of aura?
Yes it is
Is there any particular epilepsy medication that damages your eyesight? I wear glasses but I am finding all the medication I am on is making my vision worse. I'm not sure which drug is causing the problem but when I go to my opticians I'm going to ask them.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , it’s true, there are some medications that have side effects with our vision. Hearing , that I’m not sure.
