Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Epilepsy / June 2004Epilepsy and sex?
Hi Guys & Gals; Well I know that this might be an odd question, but I want to date a woman who has epilepsy, and while she is on medication she does have seziures if she is woken up quickly, if she does not get her sleep or if she dosen't get enough sleep. I don't want to ask her my questions becouse I would like to learn all the relevent information before I ask her out, and if I shouldn't ask her out I would like to know this before starting anything (and just remain co-workers). What about epilepsy and sex, what should I know and are there any sites on the internet that I should visit? I know that this might be a sensitive subject, but any help would be greatly apprecated Glenn dirtpoorglenn@shaw.ca Howdy Glenn! From the information that you've given us, I just have one warning: MAKE SURE YOUR SEX DOESN'T PUT HER TO SLEEP!!!!! Epilepsy has absolutely nothing to do with sex! Sort of like asking a person if eating chocolate causes any medical trauma due to the fact that they are color-blind!

Glenn >Howdy Glenn! > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] >> Glenn >> dirtpoorglenn@shaw.ca *snip* > Epilepsy has absolutely nothing to do with sex! Dunno about that Dave. I've had seizures DURING sex a couple of times and it makes it quite umm, "interesting". I'm fortunate in that I usually remain aware during my seizures and get to enjoy the full "benefits".

One thing that can happen during sex which can bring on a seizure is hyperventilation (breathing rapidly). Usually, however, if the patient with the seizure disorder is well-medicated, this will not happen. Generally, epilepsy and sexual activity are not related. Best, Bob Robert A. Fink, M.D., FACS, P.

My son hyperventilates frequently and ends up with a fit/seizure :(( We *think* it's attention seeking behaviour *but* it's not the sort that can be ignored like most such behaviour in order to get it to stop. He's also autistic, so we've no idea whether he fully understands what we say to him about not doing the "silly breathing". Hi Glenn, Some medications do affect a persons sex drive, but it's us stupid men that mainly have that problem. Fash_SJD > Hi Guys & Gals; > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Glenn > dirtpoorglenn@shaw.ca That is so not true. It's not as obvious with women, but trust me, it's every bit as frustrating. > Some medications do affect a persons sex drive, but it's us stupid men that > mainly have that problem They can absolutely negate libido. With the advent of Viagra et al, it is now possible to have the 'way', but not the 'will'...or, perhaps the 'willy', but not the...er...

Some of the sites also listed a Sharp rise in Sudden Death from self prescribing that junk that's for sale all over the internet. Something the Trolls forget to mention in their advertisings.

Sudden Unexpected Death from Sex ? Yup. We call it "D.I.S." "Death in the saddle" :-) Best, Bob Robert A. Fink, M.D., FACS, P.

The mystery MD does have a face after all... (Hope you didn't strike me off of your list because of my horrific reactions to occasional situations that pop up every now and then.)
