Seizures And Appetite
This question just came to me.
Any correlation between loss of appetite and seizure episodes?
I had a major life change in 2014. Since then, I have been eating big meal a day and snacking throughout the last three years. After the breakup in 2014, I went 6 to 8 months with only once a day. Basically starving myself.
My question should have been :
Could me doing that to myself led directly to the episode or no? In everyone's opinion.
Sorry for the confusion and vagueness.
When i have seizures i lose my appetite for the day sometimes 2 days depends on how bad the seizures are. When my seizures are calm my appetite is fine.
no. sometimes i eat and eat and other times i do not eat until 5 pm dinner/supper time. there is no rhyme or reason. the seizures are the same. actually there is a diet called the keto diet where you starve yourself for a day or 2 and then get a high fat low carb diet. it actually reduce the seizures.
I won’t eat for days after a seizure, I loose my appetite and it’s last forever if I have bitten my mouth which can be very painful.
I would say yes it could, but I'm no doctor. But eating help gain the nutrients the body needs to get through the day. With myself if I loose sleep I may have an episode. Sleep is the key to help the body and brain retire from all the work it's done throughout the day. But eating, if a person isn't eating or gaining the nutrients the body needs to make it through each day can cause conflicts. But when I'm having a bad day where I don't feel like eating I make a protein shake. Because maybe you body is use to the one a day meals so maybe try slowly drinking protein shakes they can give your body the vitamins it needs and without the full meal it can make you feel full.
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member with the help of all of my team members, it is becoming clearer that the neurologist was probably correct on his diagnosis. Even though I don't want to move it, but it is what it is. everything is becoming clear and I try to be good at inferring things. I know my life is not going to be the same but my diagnosis is a part of me now. That diagnosis there's something that we all have to live with not just me, not just you, but everyone.
Hey Guys.Do You Seem To Get Nauseated When Eating After Having A Grand Mal? I've Noticed That Within The Past Few Years. I Can't Eat All Day
I've Been Having This Funny Feeling Going On In My Head All Day For Weeks Now Like Am Just Off Kneel And Not There.
Why Do Doctors Keep Asking Me At My Appointments How Is My Appetite?
