Hello.  I've had epilepsy for a few years now.  On average I find I have a
fit maybe once a year.  I consider the UK driving rules on epilepsy to be
ludicrous.
What they should be trying to establish is not that you're guaranteed never

I hope this e-mail finds everyone healthy and happy tonight!

Hiya all,
Here's the thing. I haven't had a breakthrough since 1999, (where my
legs gave out, and I fell to the floor). i.e. grand mal, tonic clonic
as they say nowadays. Put it this way, I have more auras than tremors.

... until the first week in January.
But I'll be back. You can't get shot of me so easily :-)
If you celebrate it, I hope that you have a very happy Christmas. We shall,
in a ten foot, old, caravan on a wet, wild, windy Welsh mountainside.

I'm pretty much recovered from a bad week and a half (don't know if they
were simple or complex partials).  I forgot how bad it feels.  Not just
the seizures, but all the in-between sensations that were really quite
uncomfortable.  Of course, nobody can see my seizures, so I suppose ...

Anyone have experience in this, children grown/growing up with
Dravet's/SMEI?
We are curious about long term prognosis
thx

I was to my neurologist last week and all was fine.I am going for an MRI as
I haven't had any tests for over 8 years so she suggested that just to see
if anything has changed...
But she has now asked me to go on a calcium and vitamin d supplement as

Has anyone had a situation where doctors were unsure if you suffered from a
TIA (transient ischemic attack) or SPS (Simple Partial Seizure)?  I have

Has anyone experienced weight increase due to valproic acide? and how did
you fight it?
I'm 43, no seizures since I started used Depakin, but I got 15 kgs due to
that.

I am getting more and more confused. I read about how ya'll have auras
pre seizures and seizure after effects.
Well I am evidently having the seizures without any pre indications or
immediate after effects (that I am aware of).

I didn't realize that it was inherited but I guess it is as my son has it.
It breaks my heart to se him have a petit mal. I can't imagine if he had a
grand mal which seeing that I have had, he will probably have.
I guess life just sucks some times. Now my ex is going to move out of ...

Hi groupies!!
I take 800mgs of tegritol CR and it seems to control my epilepsy very
well...or as well as one can hope for...
But I notice that if I work too much or get into a stressful situation for

Looks like Im going to be trying a different med to combat my partials. I
had a bad one right in front of my new neuro yesterday. As soon as I was
able to get my wits back (about 30 minutes later) I started feeling really
embarrased. But obviously what Im taking now isnt working

I have been on Keppra 1500mg TWICE
daily , for a while know, along with Dilantin and
Epilim , which i've been on for longer.
The last few weeks i've noticed that
