exercise

I've been reading about exercising and seizures. For a long time after my seizure I was terrified of walking again cause I was afraid I'd have anothe seizure. Now everyone is different of course and you SHOULD consult with your doctor before starting any exercise routine when you suffer from...

My life has become very restricted over the last 10 years and it has got worse and worse and worse of the years. I seriously can't exert myself (eg get out of breath for a sustained time, probably over 5 minutes) without suffering at least a complex partial seizure but a few months ago it...

Hi - My daughter has tonic clonic epilepsy induced by exertion, occuring immediately after she stops (running for eg). Sport is a major part of her life. The link has been apparant for the last 6-9 months, prior to that her epilepsy was under control. She is 17 and its exceptionally...

Does anyone know if any of the epilepsy drugs given either through a canular or taken orally can damage any of your circulatory system or your heart. Can you exercise to the full, the reason I ask this is I was very fit before this recent period of seizures. I have had a few status episodes and...

This breathing exercise has been used by hundreds of epileptics with great success. Start this breathing exercise as soon as you anticipate or feel that something wrong is going to happen with your body and/or mind (before it's too late!). Stress, fear and anxiety often trigger ineffective...

Bernard, I'm sorry if this is a little off topic but I wasn't sure where to post. I was looking for some memory matching games to help with my concentration problems and a friend told me about one on the Pepperidgefarm website that will donate to the Susan Kohan foundation for Breast Cancer...

I've just begun yoga...years ago before the realizing of Epilepsy I'd take a three hour class in the city after work with a friend and then we'd go out for a microbiotic meal. Those were the days! Note: The effect of yoga on the EEG and the autonomic nervous system have been reported. Strong...

Does anyone know of any programs to help purchase exercise equipment? I'm mainly interested in getting a "tadpole" recumbent bicycle. http://www.bicycleman.com/recumbents/trikes/sidewinder/sidewinder-recumbent-trikes.htm http://pagetuner.com/tadpole/...

When I was in my mid to late 20's, I did a lot of exercising. I would either be running 30 miles a week as well as swimming 3 to 6 miles a week or I would be biking 120-180 miles a week plus swimming 3 to 6 miles a week. During these same 10 years or so, sometimes I would have a seizure one to...

Exercise may boost brain's natural antidepressant

I know that stressing our bodies physically can possibly contribute to having a seizure. I like to weight train and I feel better after I do and I enjoy it very much. I train 4-5 days a week and go at it pretty hard. I'm not one of the guys over there chatin' it up with the ladies, I'm there to...

I've actually been having seizures when playing sports or exercising. I'm on a flag football team and one second I was on the field and the next thing I knew I was on the sideline. I asked a teammate what I was doing here and made them put me back on the field. Also, when I play basketball I've...
