Thank you so much for these lighthearted videos! My son has JME-we just thought he was clumsy, then he started having tonic clonics & was diagnosed at 14, & then unbelievably, I developed epilepsy 3 yrs ago at age 55-diagnosed a year ago It came out of nowhere-suddenly I had an extreme episode of terror which made me cry out, then it turned into a tonic clonic. This happened 4 times between november 2019 & March 2022-I also have become photosensitive-can no longer drive, work or feel safe on my own. Despite all this, you've made me smile. 😊

[@stevenharris6626]

Very good video. I am a physician also, (internees) but I had to retire. I underwent surgery (not successful ) but it did work for 1 year, then the seizures slowly came back. In the long haul, the LARGEST problem wasn't the seizures, it is the memory loss. I still think good, but short term memory is much worse. (not helpful for practicing medicine ) and I was forced to retire. My epileptologis (at Rush Pres. St. Lukes) is great, but the best thing that helps is daily excerise!!! I am stable now,, and I wish all the best!!!

@Dr. Omar Danoun Sir you said you need to avoid triggers but my mother says no matter in which condition you are you should not get seizures , she says many/we have similar situations like you but they/we don't get seizures, I know she cares for me so she says like that , but what is the answer for her question ? 😪

[@veronicacecot1904]

"Take meds regularly/what happens if I miss a dose?" Hi, my mom found your channel yesterday. 😊 So, if my meds say "take twice a day", it means I'd have to take it at 8 AM and 8 PM, for example. Not 8 AM and 10 PM? With my differing work schedule it's hard to take the meds every 12 hours.

[@karinacompean3876]

Is it normal to be scared after getting a seizure it happens to me sometimes it could last about 2weeks with that anxiety i get scared thinking i might get another one is it normal to he that scared

[@Crazy_Modakji]

Doctor, I had seizure 2 times First seizure occurred more than 2yrs ago and second seizure occurred a year ago. The second seizure occurred due to not taking regular doses . But after the 2nd seizure I took all the doses and never missed it out, if missed I used take it when I used to remember. This is 3rd year of my medication. And after 2 months I'm having my class 10th examinations and I'm little feared about that, if at that moment again a seizure would occur in that exam hall I'm taking BRIVARACETAM 50MG then it was reduced to 25mg and now it is continued. So, what will be your opinion?

What types of medication is best prescribed for children around 10 years old? I ask because my son was prescribed a couple that didn't seem to be helpful. When we told the neurologist, he just wanted to up the dosage, to the point that he was taking more than an adult would. He is currently out of one type of medication he was prescribed, which was a liquid type like kepra. He doesn't have an appointment until the 2nd of March, with a new neurologist. I just want to be sure I'm giving my son something that doesn't make his seizures worse or have him on any medications that he will be dependent on unless they actually work.

How is your son doing? My 9 year old son was recently diagnosed 😣

[@gimmicklessnews6047]

@MarMore13 I changed hospitals, he used to go to kaiser when he was with his mother. I recently got custody and got him to a more competent hospital that actually listens and works with me better and responds faster. So before, he would have a mal seizure once or twice ever week or two weeks. Now, with his adjusted medication, redone scans and test, he is down to one or two mal siezures a month. He is taking 3 different medications though. We are still trying to fine tune it to see if we can get it under more control for him. It took somewhat of an experimental take, to see what medication was working best and what was not working at all. It would be wise to take the same approach, since every epileptic is different. His don't happen in one part of his brain, it happens like a lightning strike over his entire brain. I will never give up hope nor give up faith in God. My prayers go out to you and your struggle as this is new to you, but it does get easier and more routined as days go on. Also do the most research on epilepsy as you can. Self education on it is what also helped me in making better decisions.

Have seizure epilepsy mild My name is lachelle 😢😢😢😢😢

[@fireman800zz]

I was finding the same thing happening myself. I was once on 4 different meds (Keppra, vimpat, Tegretol and Lamictal), all twice a day, at one point. I have both Generalized Epilepsy an PNES. Even without the Keppra and vimpat (those were dropped after a near-death experience during a mental health crisis in December of 2022), I was still having seizures at least 1 to 2 times a week. I am temporarily on Trileptal, once a day, in the evening (most of my seizures occur during sleep) and I'm a week seizure-free. Sending you hugs and positive vibes during this rough time.

[@turtlenecker223]

I understand exactly how you feel I'm scared of doggies anymore bc Everytime one barks at me it could trigger one.

Laboratory tests are useless, I underwent ECG, EEG, MRI, blood count all went normal results so I was so happy but the doctors cannot tell me how to control my seizures. They don't know even if epiliepsy or just seizure disorder which is very annoying. Now since 1998 I am still suffering from unexpected seizures even If I take medicine like levetiracetam. Full vomiting of yellow substance after my latest seizure. Help help help help.

[@DrOmarDanoun]

Epilepsy is the same as seizure disorder... Just different names... Best to see an Epilepsy center for full evaluation and treatment

[@M_JJJ12]

Same here... Everything is normal! Taking leviteracetum...Reached at 750 mg(At morning & at evening)! Hope so medicine will start working!

[@rifff1695]

I can't provide medical advice online. Only way is to contact my clinic and get an appointment
