I'm new to this forum.

It's nice to have found a place to talk to others who know exactly what i'm going through.

I was first diagnosed with epilepsy in June this year, after my second seizure. I had my first one towards the end of May and then i had my second 11 days later. It was such a shock, to us all.
I've never had anything like this before and there's no epilepsy in the family or any sort of similar conditions.

I'm taking Lamotrigine at the moment and touch wood i've not a seizure since.

Welcome, Vicky. :clap:

We're a varied lot here.

I reckon I'm the goofiest except "Brain" - you'll meet her soon enough.

We all care about each other.

I hope you and yours had a blessed thanksgiving.

No matter how bad it gets, and it gets mighty bad with E (epilepsy), however, having a "home" here to run to where everyone understands, it surely does take the sting out of it.

Just cosey on down and get comfy, take your shoes off, prop your legs up, and grab a cup of something to drink, and enjoy!!

If you enjoy word games we even have one of those under social groups called "Malfunction Junction". It's a game but helps with memory loss problems that I battle in association with my E.

If you have any questions just ask, believe me, I asked a BUNCH when I first started on here.

We are all here to help each other.

Happy Thanksgiving and welcome!!

Hi Vicky,

I'm so glad you found us, and more importantly, I'm extremely glad to hear you've been seizure free for awhile! :e::agree:

We're an eclectic bunch of people...most of us have a really "relaxed" sense of humor. I'm not sure if it's a coping mechanism or if we're all nuts :ponder: :roflmao:

Nonetheless, welcome and feel free to laugh, cry, vent, or offer support anytime you feel like it.

Take care. -Julie :)

Hi Vicky! Welcome to CWE. Feel free to joke, ask questions, vent, or just chime in. We're a really friendly group. And as you said, it's nice to talk to others who know what you're going through. :)

Come on in and warm up with a cup of coffee or cocoa (it is cold here in Ohio). Welcome to our dinner party. Feel free to chime in whenever you want and learn as much as you can about epilepsy as well as your medication. Knowledge is one of the best coping mechanisms.

:cheers:

Hi Vicky

Welcome. My name is Cindy and I'm from northwest Georgia. I'm new here too, but you'll soon find, as I have that everyone is very helpful and friendly here. I've found lots of helpful information and I don't feel nearly so confused about what has been going on with me since I've been reading the experiences shared by all the sweet people sharing in this forum. Glad you are doing well so far.

Happy Holidays,
Cindy

Hi Vicky!

I am also on Lamictal (brand name for lamotrigine) and I have had excellent control with it for several YEARS. Keep up the good work! Personally, it seems to also help me cope with this when I walk my dog for 2 miles daily. We are the best of buddies, too. I think companionship and support are absolutely vital for this condition. It's stress management at its best.

Welcome!
 
Hi

Thank you for all of your kind welcomes :)

I really feel at home here now :)
