Has Anyone Noticed A Change In The Frequency That Your Seizures Occur When Taking B12 Or D?
I have done some reading and wanted to research this more for myself. If you are/have taken B12 therapy, whether it's by shot or pills, have you noticed anything difference in regards to the frequency of your seizures? Same for D? Also, if you take a multivitamin, which would you recommend?
I take One A Day Viramin or Organic Vitamin Juice with a B-Complex Liquid Vitamin. My body feels great--- No seizures.
Aptiom Is My Newest Great Drug. How Is Anyone Else Doing With It?
I have taken a lot of different medications for my seizures, one or two at a time. Aptiom was added about 3 years ago and has really helped me. How about the rest of you? Is anyone else using it? How well are you doing? I am curious because usually a medicine lasts just about 3 years before I have to start looking for something else.

Is It True, That Those With Epilepsy/or A Seizure Disorder Find It Hard To Get A Job? And Can A Job Place Make Accomodations?
I ask this question because, I have had quite a few people questioning me weather if teaching is actually the right career choice for me because, I have many medical issues in addition to epilepsy. Though according to them Epilepsy is a ''MAJOR'' medical condition. Because, of it I get suggested that It would probably be better If you worked one-on-one with a student like a paraprofessional/aide or you can work in a library you like to read. Why don't you go for architecture your really good at… read more

I Am Constantly Mixing Up Words Or Stopping Mid Sentence Forgetting What I Was Talking About. Is This Normal?
I have had epilepsy for 24 years now. I have over the past year or so having problems with my speech. Like calling the fridge a toilet. As well I start a conversation and stop dead In the middle because I have no clue what I was talking about. Does anyone else have these issues? Do you know why?
This happens quite often to me. From my understanding its mild seizures. It is embarrassing.
At What Age Were You Diagnosed, And Did Your Doctor Give You A Cause?
For Those Who Drive….
How long has it been since you had a seizure? Have your Doctors said it was okay to drive?
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member Giving up driving can sometimes feel like giving up air. I know that is an extreme comparison, but loss of freedom is crippling.
Has Anyone Taken Medication 💊 In The Middle Of The Day ?
I was talking to my therapist through Phone 📱, when i realize i forgot to take my medicine. i wasn’t sure , so i went to check my pill box and sure there it was . i quickly panicked and took it (Vimpact, Briviact ,clobazam and Clonazepam) i instinctively regret it … but my body felt so off before i realized i had missed it … Now this was at 1:30ish pm . usually i take it at 8:30ish am…. so i automatically messed up my time schedule…. ugh … thoughts/opinions …
Please no judgements
I was always taught with these meds especially not to take if you see you missed a dose but just take the time your schedule has you taking it I hope this helps
