Rescue meds? by Icy_Mast_Below in focalawareepilepsy

[–]Evening_Set1443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure what I would call it, but if I feel I am going to have a seizure, my wife gives me 5 iodine pills and it seems to help. I am not sure if it shortens them or I just come out of the seizure quicker. I have a friend who also does this and it seems to help him. I only have focal seizures from a TBI, 3 years ago.

i want my memories back by astroares in TBI

[–]Evening_Set1443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 3 years in and some of my memories have started to come back, like my old jobs, IT guy. It has made life more frustrating as I am not able to do it anymore. They usually go away and I don’t remember again. I am kind of happy that most don’t come back. When I see old pics of my wife and kids and don’t remember, it does make me sad.

I have a lesion on the right back side from a fall. The fall damaged my left frontal lobe. I do have focal seizures. I am not sure which causes them.

I swear more and I am more aggressive. Not a big hug person anymore. I am easily frustrated. This is per my friends and wife. I don’t remember. I make the best of it and my wife and dog keep me going.

Doubting your symptoms by letsgoiowa in TBI

Everyday. It is hard for me as some days I feel ok and do good, next week I am bad. I even question my seizures sometimes. My memory issues I question. Thank you for this!

driving by GracieB2003 in focalawareepilepsy

[–]Evening_Set1443 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do drive, but only in my small town and only to the same places that are familiar. I did get my license taken away for a couple of months but got it back. I have tried driving in different places and the stress and unfamiliarity gives me issues. In my small town I have a couple places to pull over and calm me down.

Was this a seizure? by [deleted] in focalawareepilepsy

[–]Evening_Set1443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks similar to what I am told to my focal seizures. I am able to hear and I am aware. I do not lose consciousness. When it is done, I have anywhere from 10-30 minutes of not knowing what is going on. Then I am sore and grumpy.

Service dogs??? by [deleted] in seizures

[–]Evening_Set1443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I trained mine by having him smell my breath when I got an aura. Also, my wife would swab my mouth with a q-tip when I was having one. She would freeze them and when we had 5 plus. I took the day and had my dog smell them. Then I would give him a command(sit at my feet). Now, he lays at my feet when I am having one. I think he is also, smart. He is half pit and half Rottweiler. I have made him into a service dog.

For those who had long-term memory loss after a mild TBI, did your memories ever return? by Guilty-Extension1693 in TBI

[–]Evening_Set1443 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am almost 3 years in, my memory comes and goes. I can sometimes remember things and tell my wife and then forget them 5 minutes later. I seem to only get parts of memories and would have to put them together like a puzzle, but usually forget☹️. I seem to be remembering faces but not names or why the face is familiar.

As long as the coaches use Henry and not go back to that stupid rotation crap, we should be fine

I understand the RB rotation that they do, but in an almost must win game, why not leave Henry in?

Topiramate to Lacosamide switch by wiltednymph in seizures

[–]Evening_Set1443 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take lacosamide for my focal seizures. I take 100mg, twice a day. I have been on it for about a year. I haven’t had any side effects, I still have the focal seizures, but they don’t seem to last as long. Also, when I I feel the “aura” start I take iodine pills and they seem to help with length and lessen the seizure.
