I have an idea for a new program called Epilepsy Dating. Why not create a program so single epileptic members can meet others? They can search to meet a person of the same or oposite sex, provide a profile , photo and message. Many epileptic members have a hard time living alone.

Partial Awareness Seizures. Controlled if I pay attention to Triggers.
I do not refer to them as fits or granny fits. They are episodes. If it is severe, then I will contact my Doctor.
It's a little confusing that the doctor suggested 4 treatment options and the first and second one just got denied by my insurance. I know the next request will be 2 pills a day so will see how that request goes. At least this clinic is handling the request with my insurance company. The previous one, I had to do everything. Sure makes it not as stressful even though the have gotten denied so far.
I paid sometimes over $800 for Vimpat!

Hello, I was wondering if there is a way that I can have a doctor help my son so he can try epidolex, many seizure medications make him feel sick due to a genetic disorder he has, but a few neurologists I have asked often dismiss epidolex or say he doesn't have the type of seizure that it helps. thanks for reading this, my family and I greatly appreciate your time and concern.

My epilepsy is due to a TBI, which involved facial trauma. I'm sure that has contributed to it. I do wonder if epilepsy plays a role.
Teeth grinding has always been part of my act. Don't worry, things could be much worse...
Since I've moved to Australia I've been taking generic keppra and lamictal. I took the same medicine in the USA, but I'm feeling some intense side effects from the generic medicine here. My friend that's a pharmacist said it could be from fillers that are used in the medicine. I'd pay for the name brand but it's very expensive. And then the stress from the financial strain can cause a seizure. Anyway, could there be something in the medicine that I'm not aware of?
All of my meds are in generic my insurance will not paid for brand name
