Seasonal Seizures Starting Up

[Porkette]

Hi Folks,
I hope all is going well with everyone. Sorry I haven't been around much this summer but I have been
getting some remodeling work done on the house and it sure isn't cheap.

Well now that it's fall and we are getting less light for the day my seizures are increasing due to the lack
of serotonin so I've been sitting around bright lights to see if that helps. My epileptologist calls them
"seasonal seizures" some people it doesn't even bother while some people need more serotonin while
others may need less.
If you notice an increase in your seizures at a certain time of the yr. like fall and winter or spring
and summer these are seasonal seizures and you might want to let your Dr. know about it.

Wishing all of you well and May God Bless You!

Sue

Sorry to hear your seizures are acting up again. Hope they aren't severe. Thankfully, mine don't appear to be related to the seasons--I know they are affected by stress & tension, though. Sometimes they just happen, though--even when I've had all my meds.

Those storms we had in June/July did a number on our house. We've got to get our roof & siding repaired--still waiting for insurance to OK everything. The living room bay windows need to be replaced too. During the storm, one looked like a waterfall--INSIDE!
