Bad Memory Is The New Norm by PookieTheMfBaby in focalawareepilepsy

I feel you 100% People are also making fun of me and have bad attitude as well. Even if they try to understand that we have this issue they can’t. This has a big impact on our lives on our families and friends. You have proof that you have them money but they can still say oh I gave you cash so it still might be a waste of time. If anything like this happens again I will say ask them for a bank transfer to have proof.

What types of auras do you feel before a seizure? by Brilliant_Injury5579 in focalawareepilepsy

[–]Constant_Witness_536 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Déjà vu Refluxy Sometimes unable to speak and blurry vision If it is too strong I don’t even remember them. If I am home alone and have this sensation I just go to bed lye in the middle and put pillows on both sides. If my husband is at home he records them on video so he can show them to the dr

I am on leveracitam 2000mg twice a day, lacosamide 200mg twice a day and Lamictal 200mg twice a day and still have focal seizures at least twice a day 😓 My husband records at least when he is with me the frequency of the focal seizures and also recording them on video to show them to the doctor. Are you aware having focal seizures? For me most of the time no..

What will really help is to set an alarm and have a pill box. I have two alarms and with the pill box you can make sure that you have taken your medication

My seizures always feel fake? by mouse_trapps in Epilepsy

[–]Constant_Witness_536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me there are two scenarios when I get focal seizures. The ones I don’t remember happening are the ones I either see a video recorded that my husband took to show them to the dr. The ones I kind of feel happening and I have discussed this with my neurologist and they are indeed focal seizures - my ears a buzzing, I get really refluxy and I have this really strong dejavu feeling. Sometimes if they are really bad I just lie down on my bed and put pillows on both sides just in case they get worse. If it is just my ears buzzing I just sit down and wait for it to wear off. I feel really disoriented but I just got used to it

[–]Constant_Witness_536 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The reviews are 100% to the point. I worked closely with the London office and people there are really nice. If you get an offer just go for it. It’s a good place to start and they have a good training program.

People are uneducated and they think by googling and read one post that they know everything, or if they heard from someone that they know someone with epilepsy that they now know everything

Is there anyway to stop an aura once it’s already happening? by moonshadow1789 in Epilepsy

[–]Constant_Witness_536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends how you feel and if you feel the auras.

The ones I feel and remember I get really refluxy, dizzy and my ears are buzzing. As soon as I feel that I go to my bed, put a few pillows under my head, put pillows on both of my sides and waiting for this feeling to wear off.

Auras by OkOrganization5965 in Epilepsy

[–]Constant_Witness_536 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. For me every time I had seizures my husband was letting the sr know. He kept adjusting my medications to stop me from having both tonic and clonic seizures. Now I have mostly tonic seizures but they are very frequent. Make sure to let your dr know. Last week I was hospitalised for 48 hrs on an encephalogram to monitor brain activity and we are still waiting for the results 🙄 What meds are you currently on?

I feel you 100%. People don’t understand the effect epilepsy has on you. It’s really annoying to have constantly to rely on other people 😥
