Thank you for all you do and the research all of you are involved in. If you haven’t discussed it or found out already can you find out and explain why small seizures cause such an emotional imbalance afterwards? The seizure itself is scary but not I’m struggling more with how to stay calm after it’s gone when my emotions feel like I have no control almost worse than a panic attack. I am so thankful for people out there like you. Words can’t describe how much of a difference you make. It’s hard enough but people like you are our light in this dark tunnel helping us.

i have taken many seizure medications without success and my doctor has told me that epileptic surgery is only successful in a very very small percentage of patients. i have been forced to live with super painful and disabling grand mal seizures for 30 years, about 2-3/month. by the time i finally get over having a seizure i have another. a lot of times they result in injuries but not every time. trying to go to the er for the pain or inability to walk/move is pointless, most times they give me a 800mg ibuprofen (like trying to knock down a building by throwing a paper wad at it) and tell me to go home. this is not something i would wish on ANYONE WHATSOEVER (not my worst enemy or even satan himself) and i hope/pray NOONE EVER EVER HAS TO GO THROUGH THIS!!!!!!

By the way, I can’t thank you enough for such an informative video you gave us parents hope!

[@AliciaGuitar]

I have JME and diet and sleep is VERY important. I just found out i have a gene variation that causes me to be sensitive to glutamates. I increased salts and decrease my glutamates by limiting high glutamate foods like aged cheese and processed foods. You can't avoid glutamates altogether, but you can lower your intake of particularly high foods. Due to my particular gene i also have to add lots of salt to my diet, but always check with your dr before trying that. Keppra did not help me tho i cant remember if it was ineffective or had bad side effects. My dr has me on a very low dose of clobazam. Appearantly JME gets easier to treat as you age tho doesnt go away completely. My pharmacy sends my meds in dose paks to help me be diligent in taking my doses on time. I also found GABA related medications can aggravate my seizures. This includes gabapentin and magnolia bark. If your son is on a GABA med you should talk to your dr about the possibility it could be triggering seizures and consider changing meds. I hope these tips help! My 20s were rough but now im 43 and havent had a seizure in over a year. Keep trying! It can get better i promise!

Very informative video. Thank you. Just wanted to know if these batteries are rechargeable after expiry. Will it need a surgery again or it can be done externally

[@DrOmarDanoun]

They live for about 5 to 8 years or longer.. Minor surgery to change the battery.

Hello Doctor. My Nephew is 4 years of age and he started a gelastic seizure last month. After MRI and EEG, we found that he is having tuberous sclerosis. In a day about 10-12 times seizure is coming and it's like 2-5 seconds. After medication of around 15-20 days, the length of seizure is decreased but the frequency in a day is not decreasing. Can you please help and advise anything?

Does stress cause or trigger an epilyptic seizure? I have had seizures when I was 2, and I didn't know if it was Rasmussen epilepsy or if it was encephalitis. Through the grace of God i pulled thru. After I had two children, I was inbed was waking up, and my daughter was on her phone. I don't know if that had anything to do with the seizures that occurred. But then, it happened again when I was under stress and there were flashing lights around. I notice that has been the case for the past few seizures. Luckily, i have been on medicines, and they have worked. But my question is, does stress trigger or cause seizures??? Do you think surgery would be of help? My husband isn't a positive figure in my life right now. I needed him to be willing to be here for me, and he wasn't willing to do that. He wanted to go help his dad and his mom and sister with their health problems. So i need to know how to get along by myself.

Hello Doctor . Say you may have say two neurological conditions such as i have generalized epilepsy as well as touette syndrome. What could be a treatment for me if medication is not helping me.

[@uelueluesue]

Your enthusiasm for improving the quality of life for those with epilepsy, including PNES, is inspiring Doctor. I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico where we have a teaching hospital at the University of New Mexico. And their neurology department is terrible, in all honesty. They never provided the results of my EEG results to my neurologist following a suspected hemiplegic migraine which included a seizure. The EEG was in 2022!! I am planning to make an appointment with you as you are in my insurance network and I am absolutely thrilled to see a medical professional so enthusiastic in helping his patients. Your help can potentially change my life and getting to Detroit to consult with you will be worth every penny.
