I have seizures, I have an degree in Electronics, and I am an IT professional. Wifi is just one type of RF signal among many in similar frequencies you encounter every day. Somewhere someone will...
Thank you so much for replying, Judilyn and djdaz. This is a big commitment for me. It's not renting, it's buying. I live alone and have my seizures alone, so it can be a little frightening at the...
Does anyone know anything about the effects, if any, of the wireless internet on people with a seizure disorder? I am a 58 year old woman with grand mal seizures (unrelieved and often made worse by...
I know that I haven't posted in quite some time, but I wanted to wish every one of you a Happy New Year! I am a 58 year old woman with Grand Mal seizures. /community/emoticons/cool.gif c&c...
Best wishes to you and Kimmy, Beth. I just wanted to tell you that my pupils are always constricted before I have a seizure. Maybe for 30 mins. If I think I may be having an aura, I check my eyes in...
I can't use a traditional monitor without having seizures almost immediately. No problem with a flat screen (no flicker). I have the same problem with fluorescent lights....
What a wonderful thing to do, to stay and arrange the flowers after your mom was buried. I'm sure you brought another smile to her face. Take care, Rogue, c&c...
So sorry, HALO. I agree wholeheartedly with Mandi's post re ice cream. You've earned it! Best wishes to you, c&c...
I wish we had a rose icon. Thinking of you, Rogue....
Please let us know how you are, syzygy, if only a word. We understand totally, and we care. Thinking of you, c&c...
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family, Rogue. I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom sounds like a wonderful and very wise human being....
This is wonderful, LovingGod! Just wonderful! Congratulations! I'm sure the road has been a long one. I wish you the best, c&c...
Syzygy, stopping the anti-seizure meds suddenly can cause serious problems. You don't want to do that. Talk to your doctor about tapering off, if you are sure you want to stop taking them. He/she can...
What a nice post, jwj. /community/emoticons/smile.gif I think it is most important that we never think that about ourselves....
[quote="andrew50"] Isn't it people filled with the Holy Spirit, rather than demons, who speak in tongues? I seem to remember a religious gathering once where they all started doing it. Maybe the...
ROFLMAO!!!!!...
So sorry, Jaimes. How annoying!!! Best wishes that things work out. c&c...
During my hospitalization for the Tegretol reaction, once I was out of Intensive Care and on a regular floor, there was another patient, who was convinced that I was possessed by the devil (seizures)...
[quote="andrew50"] Though in defence of Tegretol, just in case everyone starts thinking it's the Devil's Pill - it's the only med that's done me any good whatsoever. It's meant that when I have a bad...
Great post, Jaimes. Thanks. Oh, Tegretol. The morning after I was put on Tegretol, I woke up with a fever and the feeling that my legs were broken. I called my neurologist. He would not come to the...
LOL And I thought you were commenting on something I wrote before, Kenny. Apparently, we all feel the same way. Hugs to all. c&c...
Kenny, don't add the burden of feeling guilty onto your other problems. The situation you are in right now would be frightening and extremely frustrating for anyone. Just explain to your friends and...
Cured, I don't know anything about a connection between diabetes and seizures, but seizures can result from LOW blood sugar. Would it be possible that your son's blood sugar suddenly surges (causing...
I have grand mal seizures that are preceded by a petit mal. On rare occasions I have the petit mal only. Afterwards, I do have the confusion about time and may think it is the day before or several...
So sorry, Kenny. It's maddening, isn't it? Take care and best wishes that this is the end of it. c&c...
[quote="jwj"] Did you have side effects with Lamictal? I take lamictal and dilantin and still have right side seizures. I was on Lamictal only. It did not help my seizures (generalized tonic/clonic),...
I am doing better, Mandi. Thanks. I am trying to force myself to live in the present moment. I have had bad injuries and humiliating experiences in the past and I tend to relive them constantly and...
Hi Andrew! Yes, VERY grateful for the aura! It took me a long time to learn to recognize it. I promise you I did have a seizure cat. lol. The really impressive part is that sometimes I would have...
Thanks again, Mandi. I read the piece you wrote on the thread "I am NOT epilepsy!". That is really good. I plan to reread it often. You have a gift. And a heart. One thing I have noticed about not...
Again, thanks, Mandi. I am not on any meds. I don't even have a doctor. I've probably been on at least a dozen different meds over the years. None prevented or even decreased the frequency of the...
Mandi, thank you so much for answering my post. I really appreciate it. I especially want to thank you for your honesty. It is so nice to be able to "talk" to people, who are in a similar situation....
How do you all handle the fear of having a seizure? The day before yesterday I had two grand mal seizures. I live alone and the fear of either being alone or being with people and having a seizure is...
Beth, I have seizures after prolonged exposure to fluorescent lights. Do different types of lighting affect your daughter? Unfortunately, a number of institutional environments seem to have...
You are not a freak, awight. You are a woman with a medical problem which is new to you, physically painful, frightening, and which is not yet responding to treatment. Your doctor is, like many I...
My heart is breaking for your sister, RanMan. I am SO sorry. Many prayers for you both. You are a wonderful brother. God bless you, c&c...
I don't have any answers for you, awight. I just wanted to wish you the best of luck tomorrow. Please let us know how this turns out. I know there's an answer somewhere in this. All the best, c&c...
Awight, would it be possible for you to get in touch with that doctor in New York, tell him what happened last night, and ask him to recommend someone in your area?...
Awight, I have never heard of basilar migraines, so I Googled. It does sound as though this might be the right diagnosis. Particularly since your EEG didn't show seizure activity....
Topamax made me faint. I, also, hallucinated and heard voices on it. The tingling was excruciating. My seizures (tonic/clonic) remained the same. No better, but no worse. PLEASE have an MRI. There is...
I have generalized tonic clonic seizures. Most of them occur within several hours of waking up in the morning. On those days, I wake up "different". Something is wrong with my mind. It won't work. I...
God bless you and your family, Beth. This has to be an absolute nightmare....
Congratulations, Canada! Well done! /community/emoticons/smile.gif ...
I have the nausea, too, luv2pray. The majority of the time, this "zone" does not produce a seizure, but there is no way of knowing in advance where it is going, so it is scary. I am guessing this is...
So sorry, luv2pray. How would you describe these "weird feelings"? I am 56 years old and have had grand mal seizures since the age of 14. I go into a "zone" sometimes (like today). It doesn't always...
Hi Phlau! I believe that Depakote is used to treat the mania half of manic depression. It acts as a depressant on the brain. I had to be taken off of it, when I became suicidal....
RanMan, I know you don't know me. I am a new poster. But, I read this forum for about a month before I joined and I have read your posts. Please don't go. Sometimes, all we have are each other....
Great post!...
God bless you, babybear. Please don't feel that you are complaining. We are here to share our fears and frustrations, as well as any practical information we might have. Take care....
