I Would Like To Ask Who Has A Dog 🐶 That Is Adherent To Them When They Have Their Epilepsy Symptoms ?
My doctor suggested I get a dog to keep me company since I’m home alone most of the time , I walk him twice a day and he sticks to me like glue especially when I’m in seizure mode he will sit and stay on my lap on the couch and won’t let me leave the couch . So I understand now when he sticks to me oddly he understands me better than anyone else
I use a CPAP machine to help ensure I get enough oxygen to my brain whilst sleeping
Does One Know The Source Of Their Trigger Type (anxiety, Bright Lights, Etc.) Which Results In Triggering The Seizure Itself?
Been there, done that twice, Laurie. Thank God it was trees and no one else. Air bags really do work.

What Do You Say When People Ask "how Are You"
Lately I'm saying "Today I'm good"
I just tell them that is a hard question, do you want a honest answer? Or just being polite? Then are you asking about physical, mentally, spiritually, or emotionally?
Can You Live A Normal Life With Epilepsy?
Can you have a normal life with such a problem like getting a proper job, driving and even having a partner who loves you despite your condition?
Need to know if it's possible because for me my dad can't even allow me to spend some time at the mall alone, always need to go with someone. Its like am the young boy of the house but am actually the first with 5 young brothers.

During the first five years, no I could not live a normal life but now I can 90%. I have never driven so that is not a problem. My husband or a friend can take me to where I… read more
Anxiety/Panic Attacks
Does anyone have anxiety or panic attacks?
I've started getting random amxiety attacks. There is no reason for me to be anxious and Ive always been very relaxed. It must be the Epilepsy bringing it on. I even get nervous in crowds which is… read more
Generic V Brand Keppra (levetiracetam)
Are there any major differences between the Generic and Brand Keppra? I was put on Keppra just over a month ago and I have a feeling I'm meant to be on generic. When I first got my script filled the pharmacist gave me the generic version and because I've always had the brand versions of everything else I've been, I'm not sure whether the Neuro does want me on the generic or not but it's just the way the script is worded.
If it does turn out to be the case though and I am meant to be the… read more
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member yep pretty much, because the generic is made so different to the brand one it does work slightly differently. For most people it won't work as well but you do get the odd… read more

Osteoarthritis
Hi 👋 I'm Eve , I'm 52 and I've just been diagnosed with an x-ray with Osteoarthritis. I was always careful with bone density scans on Tegretol . I've developed toxicity in around 2016. I changed my meds to Keppra and didn't get on well with the Anxiety so changed again to Epilim and Lamotrigine. It was roughly 6 months into that that I developed joint pain. I was told it was normal wear and tear and my blood test for inflammation had come back clear. I insisted on further investigation on my… read more
