So the countdown is on...

Well its almost the 26th again. Tomorrow night I will go to bed wondering it I will have my monthly seizure. Will make it the 4th month in a row on the 26th.
Starting to stress op:

Remember that the stress of expecting a seizure can increase the chances of having one.

Hello, Zada~

I don't mean to invade your privacy, but are your seizures related to your 'time of the month' (catamenial seizures)? I have a suspicion mine are, but I'm waiting to take the Vimpat test...

Hmmmmm

try thinking about making plans to take those lovely kids to the park or something. Or a great barbeque. Scrubbing the floors til they gleam (HAHA--sarcasm ) or start planning a vacation--and keep your mind on that.

Better yet, do a jigsaw, sudoku puzzle, crossword puzzle or something similar. They're great for working on your memory, too. :bigsmile:

Hey
Im not sure yet. I have complex partials. I only got my cycle back last month after having my bub in Feb. It came on the 30th so Im keeping a diary to try see if it may be related.
We are moving house soon so im sure packing will take my mind off it!

My seizures are catamenial and you had said that yours always came on the 26th. That's 4 days before your cycle started. I always had a seizure 3 days before my monthly cycle started and 2 days after I ended. Just like clockwork! My husband even knew when to expect them (I had my seizures at night) so he knew which nights he needed to be in bed asleep with me and when he could be doing work in his office late that he didn't get done during the day (oh the pains of having a small home based business!)

Be sure to keep a diary of all your hormonal imbalances, even stresses because they cause hormonal flucuations too! Mood swings, PMS, ovulation everything! Good luck!

Well nothing happened this morning. Hmm weird. I however was awake at the time it usually happens with a sick baby so maybe because I wasnt asleep it didnt happen.
I had a dream around 2am tho that I was laying in bed with bub and then I 'felt' something coming on so I yelled out to my partner to come take the baby but then I woke up. It seemed so real...

 

[epileric]

Woo-Hoo!!! Now try to see if you did anything different besides being awake. Do you think that just being aware of it helped?

 

[zada]

Could be, not sure. Don't think I did anything different except was up most of the night with bub. Shall see what happens next month!
