advice

My kids are 4 & 6 years old and since January they have seen 3 of my TC seizures, the first two being nocturnal, which scared the hell out of them because they thought o had turned into a zombie. The last being a daytime one, where there was a lot of blood again with the scary sounds. They both...

Hello all, It's been a long year and, unfortunately, a long time since I've been able post and check in with everyone. I've been traveling in the Middle East and didn't always have reliable internet or a computer, but I'm back in the states and now dealing with changes made while I was...

I just started dating the most amazing girl and she just so happens to have epilepsy. It doesn't bother me and I've spoken to her about it before. She tends to kinda brush off the details though a bit and I just want to make sure I'm well informed of what she has to deal with. She says her...

So I'm starting this off by asking for help with extreme thirst and cotton mouth. I'm drinking too much water in one day to try and quench it. And I can't ignore it because it hurts, physically, when I get thirsty. How do I get rid of this?

I'm a 18 year old male, I don't think it was a severe one... but I'm really scared, before the seizure I had'nt slept much, I had stayed up all night with minor sleep for two days, then I went out with my friends and walked around, I finally slept after I got back from hanging out with my...

Was it because of your epilepsy? Was it through the advice of a doctor, friend or loved one? Were you googling "support groups" or forums for epilepsy? Or were you trying to help another person with a disability?

My flatmate has epilepsy and is a frequent fitter, and I’m worried about how he’s dealing with it. He’s been epileptic since he was a teenager (he's now 23) and says he’s never managed to find any medication that works. He also has a problem where his shoulders both dislocate when he fits which...

I have only had a single seizure, and it has been over a month ago. From what I can tell, I had a Tonic-clonic seizure. It hit me from out of nowhere. I was just watching television, relaxing, and began convulsing. My friend was with me and said it lasted maybe a minute. I don't remember...
