Does anyone wake up very confused and emotional? I woke up this morning dizzy. I have been having a hard time. Very confused and emotional. Struggling trying to do almost every thing. Like trying to focus and memory. Trying to use my phone. Having a hard time talking. Went to the store couldn't talk to cashier. If I would have I would of starting crying. I just need people to talk to that understand what it is like to have epilepsy.
Me 2 Joan, I sometimes forget that "oh yeah this is just epilepsy" I just chill out and watch a comic or a comedy. Take care ♥
At 16 years old, I was being sexually abused and started to sweat a lot underarms. I tried everything. What is this I hear about seizures and BO. Please don't tell me that is the reason I couldn't feel clean.
I am glad that you got that under control.🙂 Have a stressless day and try to relax. Stress is also bad for us.
If they focused more on it they could find a cure
Because people are terrified of the words seizures and epilepsy. They don't believe that seizures are a disability. They think that we fake having seizures.
Rest helps me. I feel refreshed! Like my iPhone when I restart it 🤩
stay silly and stress free as much as possible
Happy birthday kaiti

I actually went to a doctor appointment for my husband with him today. No arguments on the way, get there he does the test and we both start having a conversation with the doctor who did the test. She was so funny, we stayed there about 1 hour over our time and then my seizure. I am so tired of them happening at good times. We were all laughing, talking, having a good time and seizure. It didn't last long 45 seconds at the most and then I was rushed home and fell asleep .
It is stress probably started it
If you enjoy reading, a good book to help you with this is “How to be comfortable without being uncomfortable” by Ben Aldridge. Remember positive thoughts generally lead to positive outcomes 👍❤️🙏
Hello! I'm new to this site and I have a question that I hope won't garner too much judgment: is anyone else here an epileptic who is (or once was) also an alcoholic? Or do you know someone else who is like that? I am both an epileptic and an alcoholic, and I realize my substance abuse is putting me at an increased risk of having seizures. I very recently committed to getting sober, but I'm curious if anyone else can relate or if anyone knows someone who is in a similar situation to mine.

I used to drink relatively small amounts, but once I started on AEDs (especially benzos) I stopped. It isn't worth the risk. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I can be happy without alcohol - no need for… read more
