Have you ever noticed when you ask someone who is in a position where you want to be these same people become very ignorant? When I was a young man, I was taught when you want to achieve a goal, you ask someone who has already achieved and find out how they do it. i.e. If you are unemployed, you ask some who is employed how they got their job. If you want to be an entrepreneur, you find someone who owns a business and ask how they did it. If you want to play a sport, you ask an athlete how they… read more

Hi all,

I had my first baby 6 months ago and was able to do it with no meds. Unfortunately I have had two grand mal/tonic clonic seizures since then while sleeping so now I'm taking Keppra and Lamictal. We want to have another baby sometime in the next year or two. Has anyone taken these meds while pregnant? My neurologist has said I need to be on meds for the rest of my life. :-( I'm worried about taking them while preggo...

Can someone explain to me what type of seizure I'm having if my right shoulder repeatedly raised and lowers multiple times for about a minute or two? Sometimes it's the right side of my back (muscle) that tenses and releases so much so that I jerk backwards. I could really use some clarification. Thanks in advance!
