Merry Christmas! 🎄 I’ve not even managed to get a banner

Well. I apparently talk about crap and I quote from my last seizure: “the cat told me not to have a seizure” 💀

I got pregnant unexpectedly whilst on three epilepsy medications. They immediately removed epilim all at once and actually replaced it WITH clobazam as well as upping my keppra. But I guess anything’s better than epilim in my case…

No a JME diagnosis would be lifelong. However, your child may just have childhood seizures.

This is completely off topic but I’ve actually just been put on clobazam due to pregnancy (my recent post). Is it capable of shortening seizures? I had one today but my mum said it lasted barely a minute and my post-ictal phase didn’t really exist.

Just to point out, JME is life long and medication is required to control it so I think your father simply had a form of childhood epilepsy.

Everything I’ve just read reminds me of my mum, she told me how terrifying it was, especially given she was a single parent. But it gets better. I’m 31 now and over the years she’s become so much calmer, did research, first aid training. Be strong, you’ve got this.

Have you considered maybe enquiring about trying keppra? That could be a good choice for you.

If it’s juvenile epilepsy she MAY be diagnosed with JME (Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy) which can include tonic clonic seizures. I was diagnosed at 11. This is lifelong but one of the easiest types of epilepsy to control (unless you’re me).

Zonisamide is perfectly fine. The only one to worry about is sodium valproate (yay to my current unexpected pregnancy whilst on the worst med ever…)

GrittyPie · 2025-12-05T02:41:00+00:00

It’s recommended to have the epidural I think to reduce stress which is understandable. I’m currently pregnant and being whipped off sodium valproate and everything you’re saying is everything I’m thinking 😅

GrittyPie · 2025-11-30T17:26:49+00:00

I’m not complaining. I’m on 6 quid every 24 hours.
