Hi,
I have been reading posts and see how supportive you all are. This is my first time doing something like this. I had my first seizure in 2003 when I fell face first onto the sidewalk. I was put on meds. and I still have auras but have gotten used to those. I did experience (have?) a Jacksonian march last May and another shaky time in January. But enough about me! A big hello and hug to everyone here!
 
Hi, hello

and how do you do? Welcome to CWE!!! It's very nice to meet you!

Hopefully Eric or Buckeye will be around with the coffee soon, as mine is not nearly as good as theirs is.....

You've landed in a great place here. Mr B, our host, has built us an AWESOME home here. So feel free to sit back, kick up your feet and stay awhile. Check out all the different nooks and crannies, too. There are plenty of them. And lots of friends to make, too. :)

Don't ever feel afraid to ask a question......that's the only way you learn, and when it comes to E, KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.

Take care, and welcome!

Meetz

Well Welcome Ness

Good to have you here so please have your complimentary cup of coffee (we have tea too):cheers: You're definitely amongst people who can understand what it's like to go through such things.

Have you started keeping track of your sleep hours, when/what you eat and when you have seizures? It definitely makes it easier to figure out what (if anything) might trigger them.

Meanwhile enjoy your coffee, get comfortable, have fun looking around & like Meetz said, don't be afraid to ask questions or join the conversation.
 
Thanks!

Wow, what a friendly group you are! Thanks for the quick welcomes. I can't wait to learn from y'all.
 
Hi Ness!
I am Rose and I was diagnosed in 1974 at age 17 with my first known seizure. You will find the folks here on CWE very friendly and helpful. Have you tried downloading a seizure diary or keeping a journal of them so you can more accurately talk to your neurologist about them? I do that and it works great. Just a thought.

Peaceful Hugs,
Rose
 
The best

hey Ness, you've found the best. I've been here less than a week, and the meds
are the greatest. The intangible meds call L:e:O:e:V:e:E have taken effect already.
You find them all over the site. Welcome to CWE.:shake:
 
Hi Ness - WELCOME to CWE
My daughters first seizure was August 2007. She is now 17 and we are controlling without meds.
I could not have found my way if it hadn't been for the bright light here at this house.

Hope you find that to be true for you too.
 
Hi Ness, welcome to the forum. :hello:
 
Hello and Welcome

I'm new here too, and was diagnosed 2 years ago at age 31. This site has really made me feel like part of the E community since there isnt much of one where i live. Hope you find help, support, and a little guiding light (and not talking about the Soap Opera either)!
 
A big welcome to all of our newcomers! I was diagnosed just last fall myself with complex and simple partial seizures originating in my right temporal lobe. This site has been a godsend and got me through some worrisome times.
