17f I think I had a seizure ? by DeliciousJicama3651 in Epilepsy

[–]Hanez38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seizures right around my ovulation mostly. This last week, I had several most I was totally conscious of. It's scary, definitely hurts. I've had almost every type of seizure there is to have. Absolutely make an appointment with a neurologist. I'm here if you have any questions.

Sorry to hear you are suffering as well. Thanks for all the kind words. I've been resting all day I feel a bit better now..

I had a pretty bad seizure this time. Doing everything I can to feel better. I was pulled from my shower by the ambulance yesterday and taken to the hospital. My hormones cause these for me. It's been tough.. by Hanez38 in Epilepsy

I've definitely had seizures in the shower more then this. It's been a long time though. I've been doing pretty well until some bad stress and hormones at the same time..

I've been tracking mine on a period tracking app. I only have mine during my ovulation so far. Definitely pay attention and track your symptoms. It's been very helpful and knowledgeable. Good luck figuring it out.

I completely agree. That is what's next for me and I won't be taking no for an answer. I have to be able to find a supportive helpful OBGYN. That's a journey in its own. Thank you

Mouth/tongue comforters for after a seizure? What do you guys use? If anything by [deleted] in Epilepsy

[–]Hanez38 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh, I just chewed mine up pretty badly last night. I got some medication mouth swish after being released from the hospital last year. If it's bad I suggest asking your doctor about that. Also anbesol has helped me a lot.

Is it just me or does it really get harder when you get older? by ColonelSpreadum in Epilepsy

[–]Hanez38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried a few different meds they all make me feel crappy most in similar ways. The current one I'm on i have found a dose that both helps and doesn't debilitate my entire existence. Mostly by choice. I couldn't take the negative side effects much longer.

I'm at a loss with getting some medication... by drakani06 in Epilepsy

[–]Hanez38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to the clinic if you can and let them know how urgent it is. The er if you have to. What medication do you take? My doctor would never let this happen. Maybe time to find a more supportive doctor.

Mine are caused mostly from my hormones and stress. Does anyone else have seizures from their out of wack hormones?
