My neuro frustrated me on my last visit. I enjoy running; I've been doing it for years and I've noticed that during that time, I've had very few seizures.
But yesterday, my neuro tried to tell me that exercise could cause the drugs in my system to degrade faster possibly leaving me more vulnerable to seizure. I think this is total BS and when I challenged him on it noting that I've been running for 7 years and that it had been over 7 years since my last generalized seizure and over 3.5 years since my last aura, he tried to take the opposite side of the argument and say well it would only degrade to a point and then the exercise would be helpful for seizures. This came up because I had a seizure on Feb 7th (for the first time in over 7 years) and the resulting soreness is going to keep me out of a half marathon I was supposed to run.
So which is it? I'm tired of feeling he is trying to scare me into doing exactly as he says and then when I call him on it he flip flops.
Does anyone have any opinion on exercise and epilepsy??
