Prescription Prices
Does anyone know of any kind of treatment for epilepsy besides prescription drugs? I ask because trying to pay for multiple medicines every time you need them is impossible
There are prescription programs that can take a $400 script down to $40. Takes a minute to find and I actually had a pharmacist track down my first coupon. He looked at the bag with the cost listed… read more
Epilepsy, Keppra And Pregnancy
Hello
Just wondering how anyone on Keppra or with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy has found being pregnant or what have you been advised? I have a very interested neurologist who last year told me I shouldn't have kids because it'll either damage me or the child will be severely disabled because of the medication! Have since done my own research and spoken to Doctors that have done studies and they had assuaged my fears for the the most part. Come my yearly review and nothing said by Neuro about… read more
I Thought Of A Service Dog A Couple Of Years Ago When My Seizures Became Really Bad But Decided Against It Because Of The Rising Costs.
Generalized Epilepsy uncontrolled 4 meds and a VNS and adding an RNS next month. I live in a one bedroom apartment. I also notice that all of the "preferred" breeds are large dogs. Do they ever do anything with small dogs suitable for someone who is living in an apartment with a slightly crippled leg? In other words, I might be able to keep up with a small dog but maybe not with a lab or shepherd!
Hi Elizabeth237 About small dogs and service seizure alert dogs. Small dogs are usually used to support dogs. They do have titled seizure support dogs that a lot easier and faster to get. I'm not sure… read more

I am curious about this, I was driving from 18 and gave up my driver's license at my ssdi case, I don't miss it at all really, I accepted the fact that I gave up my license freely at my own doing, I can figure out a way and don't mind me walking around if I have to, like the exercise my opinion, and found out I like to do my daily routine of prayer and bible study, I have not read anything in my life but the bible I'm reading daily, and what are your thoughts about this âť“ and how you look at it?

Has Anyone Had VNS System Implemented Which Worked Successfully?
Hello, I've been living with focal drug-resistant epilepsy for years. It's become rather dangerous lately, to the point that I can start walking around with no memory of why and how, drop a cup of hot tea on myself, start staring at something, freeze in the middle of the street, etc.
I had a DBS system implemented last year but it turned out to be faulty, so the surgeon removed it this month. He explained that my head has to recover for about a year, in the meantime, he suggested we try… read more
The VNS is very successful for many. It helped my seizures be more limited and controlled. For me, it was not enough but for many people it works and controls them. I pray you have peace in your… read more

Why Does My Daughter Have All Her Fit Around Her Periods,
Seizure Type??
This has never happened to me before. We came home today, and there were boxes of things on our porch from Walmart. My boyfriend and I kept accusing each other of ordering the things that we really did not need, like a folding chair 🫤. I looked on my app, and it turns out that I ordered them. It was the day that I had to skip work because I was having Focal Seizures, too. I've never done anything strange or something that I don't remember during seizures though (besides a tonic clonic) have you… read more
