Hi berlinda, welcome to CWE!
Do you have any sense of why you had the breakthrough seizure? Did you miss a med, or were you under unusual stress in one way or another? Sometimes there can be triggers that lower seizure threshold, so identifying potential triggers can help with seizure control. The #1 trigger is fatigue, but there are plenty of others -- things like low blood sugar, hormones, food sensitivities, infection/illness, etc.
I hope you are feeling okay -- I know it's no fun to visit the ER.
Best,
Nakamova

Welcome Berlinda. I am new to this forum also and have found everyone to be warm and welcoming. I had a long break from seizure activity myself so I understand how you are feeling. as Nakamova mentioned fatigue above, I know this has factored into my current status. Also stress this past year with my father's failing health and my husband's unsuccessful surgery. I have marked you as a friend and please feel free to add me as a friend too.
