I definitely came out of the “woodwork” one time and went to the ER when I had a seizure. I cut my arm and finger on an electric saw and had to get stitches.

I was getting swelling in my mouth and tongue. My husband and nurse said Epipen call 911.. The swelling went down. They told it was sz and Possibly sz psycho. I had a bad uti. My Epileptologist said you have strange symptomology. Numb lips and numb tongues. It’s not psychological! I M now on antibiotics!

I heard someone say full moon all the crazies are out. When I worked in ER sometimes everyone would come out of the woodwork! I have heard several of my seizure friends their menstrual cycle would start early and it was the moons fault! They would have seizures then

I'm sorry it affects you seizure wise, thankfully it doesn't with me.
I enjoy seeing it when it is, full moon that is.
