This is a situation I’d like to share it with you all in case you’re unlucky enough to have experienced it or something similar. Unfortunately it relates to disability discrimination, something I thought I would never experience! The situation I have been ill for the past few months following...

Hi everyone! I have just started CBT to try and deal with my anxiety. I have always suffered with anxiety, worry and stress which has only got worse since my seizure last July. We talked today about the 2 episodes I have had which have been 4 years apart. The first one was in 2008 when I...

Is it possible? I know if I take a nap or counteract an aura (rubbing my left arm or holding a certain pressure point) I can divert one. Any other ways you've found effective? Also, when I divert a seizure for a few days, I've found it makes it worse when it actually happens, and the auras are...

Though I have my Tonic-clonic seizures under control, I still have issues with concentration/focus, memory, energy, etc... One issue I am having more often is twitching or flexing of muscles in different parts of my body. This most often effects my extremities. I believe it also tends to...

Hi there. I am new here and hav had epilepsy for the past 3 years. My seizures hav been generally controlled. I am on lamictin and epillim and recently i tried removing epillim and switching to monotherapy. That didnt work, i had my first grand mal since 18 months. I always get an aura before a...

Sometimes certain thought patterns make me feel odd. Like I better stop thinking about it right away. Example: this morning I was telling my daughter about a weird dream I had last night, and when I got to a certain part, I felt bad, kinda weird at the pit of my stomach. Not an aura, but like...

I'm just curious if anyone has found this possible. I read this heartening book "Epilepsy: A New Approach" which says the author spoke to persons who managed to do this. (Such as just tell it to back off or something.) I'd be curious to know if anyone has managed to do this and what...

While the kindling model presents an idea of how seizures can develop, behavior therapy offers a lot of options for learning to undo the damage and improve seizure control. This excellent article on using behavioral strategies gives a very good overview on how behavior modification can be...

I am trying to do a research here about a possible connection between eye movement and seizures. There is a treatment called NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP) that trains people to have more control over their brains by moving their eyes in a particular direction. Ex., if you look to left...

I am wondering if anyone has managed to stop a seizure by some form of will power? I've heard of people who do it by, say, focusing on some other part of their body. (Like, focus on your left big toe & it'll go away.) I know for myself my seizures start with a high pitched ringing in my right...
