Has anyone hade the (TMS)
Transcranial magnetic stimulation, my neurologist wants to perform this procedure? But I've never heard it perform for epilepsy or seizures. Only for anxiety or behavior illness. I truly don't want to have any surgery especially @ my age and the risk of it would be for me due to where my location.
Before the operation I was having several tests done. I also had to repeat 2 tests because 1 of them I had to give them a seizure and I couldn't give it to them. The 2nd one I was not supposed to have… read more
I feel like the lights were nice and bright and someone turned them off,only security lights are on.
I appreciate the feedback, I just don't know. My blood work is good.
Yes, extreme heat triggers my seizures and makes my headaches much worse.

I suffer from regular epilepsy seizures every 8 weeks, and for the 36 hours of my seizures i suffer every 2 hours a seizure being at it's worst half way through. At all other times of the 8 weeks I am fine.
sorry to hear that Robert. Hopefully one day things will ease for you.
I ran out of medicine and my doctors didn’t put in a refill until later this evening. I don’t know if should not take any medicine this morning or only the 1 out the 2 that i have.
Always call your doctor and along where you get your drugs at every time a drug needs to be refilled
I avoid all over the counter meds. They hurt more than help and sabotage the effectiveness of my Keppra
I take Lamictal XR and primidone
I am not even considering getting pregnant at the minute as I am still young but I am in a steady long term relationship and it does play on my mind a lot because I do want children in the future. I was wondering what medication the doctors would put people on when they’re pregnant? I’m currently on lamotrogine 500mg per day and it seems to be working for me. Also with hormones being all over the place when you’re pregnant what are the chances of having a seizure while pregnant?
I’m thankful every minute of every day that I had kids and neither of them have epilepsy. There’s less than a 5% chance of your child inheriting epilepsy if there is no history of it in your family… read more
