Breakthrough Seizures
So I had my 2nd seizure yesterday found out from someone else. Its been more than 2 years since I had one now I have had 2(that I know of)in less than a week. Has anyone else ever heard of term breakthrough seizures or would know what would cause them? I have a theory but its just that a theory.
A brake through seizure is the meds (or what's works for you) are working and then it isn't.
Everyone's triggers are different but it could be lack if sleep, unneeded stress or even a panic attack. Even on controlled medication you can have break through seizures, it's happened to me. Your body may have reached a pinnacle with your dosage so you may want to ask about raising it.
I have them. I went seizure free for about three years thinking that my meds had them under control. Then one day I had one. My neurologist told me that once your body gets use to that dose it starts not to be effective than it was when I first got on it.
When I was younger I only had tremors & they only would happen in December due to birthday & Christmas time & it was exciting but then I'd be fine till December the next year but slowly it did changed but was able to do everything then. But stress is a big thing & not enough sleep. I got my first grand mal at work but I was starting to get stressed due to a new mean boss. The best I could say about work at home is contact companies that have call centers like PSN & Xbox or Sony & those types cause they supply everything.
Yes. Usually when med levels drop or something triggers.
