I had blood tests done. Important indicator - Valproate (is 4 times less than the smallest permissible limit)
And TSH Thyroid hormone, which is 1.5 times above the norm. I know valproate is an important indicator and low values lead to seizures. I drink Konvulex chrono-DEPAKIN (in 800 mg per day, but apparently not enough. How many of you take DEPAKIN?
In what weights? In combination with what drugs?

When I go to new churches, is there some trick to mentioning or hiding the epilepsy? Though I am ten years seizure-free, this has been part of my story, and if I am honest, this is who I am. How long do I wait till this comes out? I hate that this even needs to be asked, but this has come up visiting a former teacher and has left me nervous as I head north for my Master's degree in an all-new church area. I remember that even my brain surgeon stopped visiting churches because they found out what… read more

I think I have a pattern to my tonic clonic nocturnal seizures, which is one seizure every 7 to 10 days. I'm caught in this dilemna of needing to deduce a pattern to prepare for the seizure or seizures, or continue to convince myself to stay seizure free. Does that make sense? It's like the mind - literally - is that powerful.

There is no food, drink, activity, etc ... that triggers these seizures (as far as I can tell). Also, I continue to take my medications on schedule and have had… read more

Wether you consider it a aura warning or an actual seizure,what do you think caused this and what medication helped you..
I am on tegratol and feel it only controlled grand mal seizures..

I been thinking about getting an alert system since im home alone. My service dog can be trained to press the button if i have a seizure and need help. He alerts to some seizures and barks if im down longer than 5min or goes and find the nearest person
Problem is my family has lack of communication skills. They ignore my service dog when he is trying to tell them something! Going back to me having no support at home. My question i guess is... if i can't get them to listen to me or my service… read more
