Can Anyone Tell Me Something Positive That Has Happened In Their Life Because Of Epilepsy?
My life was plagued with grand mal seizures for decades and I never saw a speck of good coming from having epilepsy. As I got older I began to realize my life had been sculpted into this person with self-confidence, unusual artistic talents and all because of my unusual brain. When we see our perfection the good from epilepsy will shine through.
Due to epilepsy I got, firstly, to experience what it is like to experience a ‘hidden’ disABILITY. You seem 100% fine until it happens - which frightens people out of sheer shock. I now am a w’chair… read more

What Do You Do To Thwart Toxicity From Your Meds?
As a person with controlled epilepsy, a big problem I have is losing mornings to toxicity from my after-breakfast meds. I've found ways that work for me:

Warning
I would like to know if anyone has experienced having a warning before seizure but not experienced it in the past?
Absolutely. I had a major seizure 3 years ago and I had a feeling for a couple of minutes beforehand that something was about to happen. I was in a supermarket at the time - not the best place to be!!

Does Anyone Have There Behaviour Change After A Few Days Of Being Ill?
That's when I am the worst. Get me sick and I will grump at you and so much more and you'd better be getting out of my way or else you'd better send me to bed.
