Flying
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have a tremendous fear of flying and can't take things like Valium for stress, or a couple bevvies like I used to. Most of my seizures are triggered by stress. Should I fly? It's a hell of a long way up to seize..and I live on an island..

I come in and out on conscience for quite a while. People tell me things, but I forget. Too tired to do any wandering. For me, would not try anything for the next 24 hours.

Does Anyone Else Suffer From The Aura You Get Before A Seizure But Then No Seizure?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I often feel the aura I get before a seizure but then I don't have a seizure. When this happens I take Valium and it helps and most of the time I don't have a seizure. I'm just kind of curious as to whether this happens to anyone else.

Most of the time that was it for me. I'd have an aura then I'd start singing or talking and 90% of the time the feeling just went away.

Osteoarthritis
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi 👋 I'm Eve , I'm 52 and I've just been diagnosed with an x-ray with Osteoarthritis. I was always careful with bone density scans on Tegretol . I've developed toxicity in around 2016.

I was told it was normal wear and tear and my blood test for inflammation had come back clear. I insisted on further investigation on my… read more
