introduction

Hi there, my name is Quinn and I've had epilepsy for three years. I have tonic-clonic seizures with occasional auras (those are always a fun surprise). Almost all of my seizures have been in public and have affected my life severely, so I don't think I've ever had the chance to open up and...

Hello everyone, I just joined this community and thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Zee, I have epilepsy which has been managed and controlled for the past 8 since I've been diagnosed and been put on Lamotrigine. I do often get random waves of just general pre-seizure feelings but they...

So I figured I may as well stop being a stranger and introduce myself. To quote the "Seizure background" section of my profile: I don't remember the exact phrase describing it, but while I was about to eat breakfast, I went into seizure state(?) and had several seizures, one after the other...

Hey there, I thought I'd go ahead and make a forum post to introduce myself since I had started to browse around on the forums. I was diagnosed with JME in November 2011. Although the dx is new, the condition is not. I started having spasms in my neck, shoulders and upper arms around the age...

Hello. Beyond greetings, I'm really not sure where to begin, how much to include, or even what to say regarding my convoluted history with epilepsy. I'm not yet sure what to feel. I spent fourteen years (exactly half of my life) coping with bizarre episodes I now know were seizures. I was...
