I have seizures and asthma. So its tricky to deal with the heat. But since one of the side effects of the seizure medicine i am taking is dry mouth and dry throat, drinking lots of fluids during the day helps me in dealing with hydration and heat.

I loved the summer and the sun, in my 20's and 30's, the hotter, the better. I was a sun godess and loved vacationing in warm sunny places. I was more sensitive to cold weather. I worked in offices where the air was set so low, and I would get so cold, that I would have to wear a jacked or sweater. Neither heat nor cold, ever made my seizures occur more frequently. I had my seizures, before and after my menstrual cycle.
You should avoid the sun and stay very hydrated.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member when I was diagnosed I got them around my periods too so I got prepared to have seizures for the days I had them before them and after them and of course the unexpected ones now they come when they bloody want to and drive us nuts x x

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member your neurologist chewed you out no neurologist should yell at you ever and I mean ever they’re supposed to guide and appreciate you I had a bath once I kept the temperature low I had them by myself I stay myself keep temperatures low I’m shower if heat is giving you seizures have fans in your house the heat from outside can come inside oh I forgot to mention don’t fill your bath up too high there is always a danger of a seizure coming on stress and worry if having showers is easier for you have a shower seizures are pain in the arse even smells can trigger them we don’t always know I wish sometimes there was no epilepsy but there is and we deal with it take care x x

Heat is a nasty thing with seizures I can't do heat well .. I stay in as much as I can on hot days.. like one can't go from heat to a shower or if their cold they can't go take a shower those are triggers for some .. sending prayers and hugs wishing you a free Seizure day 💕
