Does anybody experience memory loss while on Lamictal or a feeling like you can't quite comprehend things as well as you should be?
I Lose things left and right and forget important things easily throughout the day.
I also feel like I'm not at my full working mind state. There seems to be a...
Hello everyone.
I'm writing on behalf of my sister, Laura; she is 25 and had her third seizure this morning. (She is okay; a bit bruised as it was on the pavement but thankfully her boyfriend was with her. She's sleeping it off).
Her last two fits have been in the past two months (her first...
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...
Hi! I'm Erica. I'm new here and just wanted to introduce myself.
I was diagnosed with simple-partial epilepsy when I was seven. It originated in my left intertemporal lobe, right between the motor and sensory strips. When I have a seizure, my right hand clenches up and shakes for about ten...
Hi:
My Neuro has suggested adding Topamax to my current Tegretol to try and eliminate the complex partial seizures I'm experiencing about 2 or 3 times a week.
After doing some research on the nicknamed Dopamax, I'm interested to hear from others who also took this drug and Tegretol at the same...
Hi, all. Newbie here. :/ I have had a strange history of "weird" stuff. I am 48, female, married with kids. I posted my history and symptoms in my profile. I will do it again at the bottom here. I recent;y saw a Neurologist for a weird thing that happened to me a couple of yrs ago. I call it my...
My daughter recently wrote a poem about what it feels like to go through a seizure. I think it is amazing. She has put it up on YouTube. You can see it by searching for Tack1800 on YouTube and selecting "The Seizure State".
I'd post a link, but haven't been listed here long enough yet.
Hi, I'm a mom to a beautiful 2 1/2 year old boy. My son has CP, cystic encephelomalaysia, he is legally blind and has both focal and myoclonic seizures. He started having seizures a few months after he was born and as he gets older they have gotten stronger. He has been on a number of...
Mine were always a nightmare...especially since I never told my date that I had epilepsy. One time, my head went through a wooden chess board...another time, I melted to the floor at a disco when the music stopped and the mirrored strobe ball just kept swirling around. (How dumb was I?)
And...
A step too far?
This is the most insane thing I have ever heard of!

Hello, all! I'm not sure if I'm using this correctly, it's my first time on any type of forum. To start off, I'm 21 and living in Chicago. I thought my seizures were a part of my past so I could move out of my parents house and start a fresh chapter, but I guess they threw a curve ball and came...
Hi There.
I am new to message boards so you will have to excuse me if my etiquette is not up to scratch!!
I was wondering if anyone could help me or give some advice regarding my partner. He has been suffering from seizures since January 2007. He has no previous history of seizures or epilepsy...
We had to do an autobiography, experience type thing for english. And im not usually too open about my E. Even though EVERYONE at school has seen me have a seizure (or 3 haha) so I decided to mine on when I found out I had epilepsy. So here it is if you want to read it :)
I was in class, and...
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...
Hi- I am a little frustrated because yesterday I had a bad day with seizures. No big ones, but absence and simple partial. I am annoyed because I was chatting on the webcam with my best friend (Crystal11) and it interrupted what we were talking about many more times than I would like. Of...
I think I had a partial seizure during my MRI last week - my eyes were blinking more rapidly than I could ever do by myself, headache in right temple, a numb feeling spread kind of down my face and a small tremor in my right arm. It probably only lasted less than a minute, but does anyone know...
Hi all...
I've been reading many of your posts for the past few days and finally got the courage to join you. My name is Cindy. I'm 48, married and just recently had my brain MRI as part of my neuro testing for partial seizures.
I've had Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia for over 12...
Hi there ! My name's Dave and I'm 22 and I think I have temporal lobe epilepsy although I'm not sure. I'm getting an MRI in the next couple weeks to confirm this. Here's is my strangest seizure ?: I was sitting in my den and I started hearing strange strange music. It is unrecognizable...
