Is The Covid Vaccine Causing Seizures?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've heard from a few people with Epilepsy who are experiencing seizures after getting the vaccine. I'm still thinking about getting it, but before I do, can anyone else tell me if they have experienced, or know someone who has experienced a seizure after getting the Vaccine?

Recently My Seizures Changed, I Used To Get More Grand Mal Seizures
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Now I get more smaller seizures that for the most part I don't even know I'm having. Unless I bite my lip, tongue, fall down, or just walk off the edge of something instead of stepping down. These seizures are becoming more frequent,followed by a headache, dizziness, and loopy feeling, I don't have insurance anymore so I don't have meds anymore. Does anyone else get dizziness and feel loopy?

Is Having Speech Difficulties Signs Of Having A Seizure? Or Is It Side-effects From Medications?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I had a conversation with a few people here. We all have had difficulties speaking. Getting confused, slurring words, dyslexia getting worse, not being able to put sentences together properly, etc.
If that’s a seizure, what type of seizure is it?
Or is it more likely just side-effects of medications?
Thanks.

Surgery As An Option
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi my name is Emily and I just joined myepilepsyteam! My neurologist suggested neurosurgery because medication is not controlling my seizures. I have an appointment with a neurosurgeon next week. The next step is an inhospital EEG 4 hours away from my city.Then they'll proceed on deciding on the surgery. Have any of you gone through this? If so, which surgery? What were the side affects and what should I expect? It's okay if you don't wish to talk about the side affects. I would just like to… read more

Pins And Needles
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I’m not sure wether it’s an epilepsy related thing but I only get pins and needles in 1 side of my body and it’s on my right side mainly on my foot and I’m not sure wether it’s a seizure or not.. as I wouldn’t say I wouldn’t have this feeling when I have a seizure when I have 1 when I have them when I’m awake (if I’m awake, I’ll raise my hand like I need help, then I fall back) so I don’t know if I’m having another symptom/side effect of having a seizure it would last a minute-2 minutes
