How Do You Handle Music Triggers?
This is my first Christmas service I'll miss in my lifetime since there will be a live band. Which makes me so furious since I'm a musician and used to play in the band. Now I can't even be around music without going into a seizure. I've been crying each night this past week. To be safe, I have to watch it live via the link on Facebook.

I agree with you and your post and the other people's posts here, I suggest asking your doc about what you are asking here and see what they can do with that and hopefully find a way to remedy it… read more

Does anyone have “emergency rescue meds”:that they don’t get to in time? I must’ve felt a seizure coming on yesterday, I took one out of the package. saw it on the table later.
I have never heard of emergency rescue meds before.
Auras
I was wondering if anyone can describe what their aura feels like. I find it so difficult to put into words. When I was on the bus I just got that feeling. That's what I've called it since I was a child, a feeling as I didn't know what it was and I didn't tell anyone. It's like this nauseous feeling with a smell I can't describe but it's not a nice smell. I have this feeling in my whole head almost, twitching in my left arm and leg and i just feel so odd.It's just so bizarre. I still can't… read more

Around The Holidays, Does Anybody Else Get Sad When 1 Relative Gives A Big Present To Someone When You Don’t Have The Money And Can’t Work?
My parents always get a big present from my brother, who can drive and work when I don’t have the money and can’t drive.
I feel it's so ridiculous they don't want to let us work but can't provide us with no form of benefits,like come on really
Nocturnal Seizures! Basically Seizures In Your Sleep, I Would Mostly Have One Right After I Fall Asleep Or Early In The Morning.
Then, sleepwalking after I have a seizure.
Is anyone out there who has had them before and has been successfully treated for them or perhaps someone who is taking any kind of medications that has been useful to a certain extent because I’m taking 3 different medications and I’m still having the same problem.
Thank you for your time,
I agree with you and your post and the other people's posts here, I have those on occasion but I don't worry about them like before, they are more stable than before and I would suggest asking your… read more

Do I Have To Comfortable Just Seating Home Like A Child Because Of My Epilepsy?
I feel useless just seating home even if I'm told not to worry and that I'm still young. This is the time I have to learn how to make my own cash while am a youth. I can't ask my dad cash to take a girl out, or ask cash for snacks always.
It’s a good feeling being able to work a job of interest for your own cash . Even if you were being paid to help a neighbor or family/relative , friend . Thing like mowing the lawn , clearing the snow… read more
