seizure

Hi everyone. I was trying to do my research on epilepsy and seizures, and came across this forum. I hope some of you can shed some light on my situation. About a year ago, my older brother had a seizure. And since then he's had a couple more. We think it's due to stress (and our family has had...

Hello, I've been on keppra for about 10 years now, following seizures resulting from scarring after brain surgery for a meningioma. I was never quite myself on keppra, very irritable, anxious, etc, however I thought it might have also had something to do with the major invasive brain surgery...

Hello all! I'm new here, and I'll start with some background info. I previously had a cerebral AVM rupture that resulted in a craniotomy to repair. Last year, a regrowth, residual, or new development was detected deep within the brain and radiostatic surgery was the best option (so far, no...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on what I should eat after I have an aura which very often precedes a grand mal seizure. I am 25 and had my JME partially controlled (3-4 months no seizures generally) in the past. However, this last year it has gotten much worse. I have moved...

Hey everyone, new here, Last Tuesday about 10 days ago my mom had what the neurologist called a seizure. No seizure history before, not on any medications, all CT, MRI, EEG tests came back spotless. Turns out she had a TIA due to a UTI, not a seizure. That neurologist put her on Keppra...

Thought this was interesting.. http://www.epilepsy.com/article/2016/12/2017-revised-classification-seizures Clears things up somewhat and shows that there are many types of seizures but it seems complicated (somewhat).

Hi All, I had been seizure free without medicine for 10 years (before that I had several small, partial in one day and nothing else- no meds to control). I started wearing a Fitbit in November and 3 weeks later starting having mild, partial seizures. Has anyone else noticed a correlation? Mine...

Hey there everyone. I'm new to all of this so I was hoping that I could get some tips or help or at least something to go off of. I am 25 and just had my 2nd seizure ever. The first seizure was believed to be due to 2 medicines I took at the same time (which no one told me was a bad idea until...

Hello, My name is Emily. I have had seizures for two years. I have simple/complex partial, absence, and grand mal. Today something happened that scared me. I have been off of Topamax for a few weeks now. But today my whole face went numb like it would have if I was on Topamax. The numbness then...

This is not going to be a 'why me', or 'poor me' post. It's really not my style, but, I am in need to "talking" my way through this. This post may be more for my reference than for anyone else, and is sure to be long... but I guess it's a story of 'you just never know.' Brief recap of me. 2...

Hey Ya'll, I started having seizures a year ago, both absung and tonic clonics. Since I have started having them I have become very repetitive. My family often jokes or even gets annoyed that I tell the same story 10x and don't even remember it. It is usually the worst after my tonic clonics...
