Epilepsy, Keppra And Pregnancy
Hello
Just wondering how anyone on Keppra or with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy has found being pregnant or what have you been advised? I have a very interested neurologist who last year told me I shouldn't have kids because it'll either damage me or the child will be severely disabled because of the medication!

Sleep Only Seizures.
Certain organisations need to give one off description upon one certain type of epilepsy
This will stop stigma and lack of awareness
Mine are FLE but the seizures I have only occur when asleep.
Not awake. Due to the lack of understanding people still think I’m a risk when awake because there is not enough information given concerning single types. I’m constantly subjected to discrimination by others who do not understand why I’m still allowed to drive a vehicle and even though my seizures… read more

Uk: Disabled Bus Pass
How long did it take for you to renew your bus pass?
I have 2 weeks left on my bus pass, they won’t accept a letter from my neurologist, so I’ve got to get a letter from my gp so I can get a new bus pass?
But with all my medical conditions they should accept my neurology letter as they said it’s not enough.
