Hello

[skipp]

Hi everone I'm skipp

I'm 22 & have been having episodes of some description for as long as I can remember, but have never had a diagnosis that stuck...doctors have suggested mental disorders, migraines, congenital middle ear problems & vertigo amongst other things but none of these diagnoses ever really fit & I became quite frustrated

Things have improved since I got a progesterone coil (for what at the time I thought were unrelated reasons), but I still get regular episodes, sometimes I'll get them daily, sometimes I'll go a few weeks without one, but its difficult to tell because time becomes kind of an abstract concept with these things ^^"

They're now saying its likely to be a kind of partial epilepsy, I'm very new to all this & not really sure about anything yet...we'll have to wait and see

Today was a good day, I had an episode first thing but for once it didn't ruin my day...so I decided to find out a bit more & discovered this forum

Pleased to meet you all :hugs:

Welcome to CWE!

I learned a lot more about myself and epilepsy after being on this forum. Tons of very helpful articles and prior posts to help understand things. Most importantly the people on here are the best asset.

Best wishes!

Hey skipp, welcome to CWE!

Pleased to meet you too! I hope the epilepsy diagnosis is the right one (no fun to slog through all those other diagnoses), and that you feel free to explore the different forums here, chat, post, vent, etc. CWE is a great source of support.

Best,
Nakamova

Hi and welcome,

Have you found any of your trigger?

It helped me to keep a diary, I not only listed seizure times but also when I started any new meds. presc. or over the counter. sleep pattern.
