Michigan resident here. My son was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition called KCNB1 10 months ago. I came across your videos when researching his condition and that he could develop seizures at some point in his life. We have seen so many specialists who have never heard of his genetic condition. Theres a few families here in Michigan who have come together via Facebook but we would love more specialists doing research and bringing awareness here in Michigan ❤❤. Many of our kiddos have drug resistant epilepsy. My son has not been diagnosed but I have suspected seizures.

[@YoPrimeTime]

I used to have seizures. EFT (Emotional freedom technique) helped tremendously. Bioenergetics TRE and Havening . All of these work on the body, mind, thoughts connection. My seizures were triggered by past memories where I repressed the natural instinct to speak, walk away, be angry, fight etc. We don’t know internally how someone has shut down that mechanism. In my experience seizures were the result of my body no longer being able to hold on to the trauma. God speed.

The age of 8 was diagnosed with Epilepsy, most likely caused by high temperature, causing febrile seizures when I was an infant. At the age of 22, I had a temporal lobectomy, where they removed scar tissue on the left temporal lobe. I went from 22 pills a day to 6 a day to zero pills. I went seizure free for 19 years and suffered a TBI at work and now suffer from, guess what, you got it. I now suffer again from dacrystic seizures and back on seizure medicine have a VNS implant. I found that when given multiplication math problems during my seizures shorten the episode and recover quicker. This is something you might want to study. My years of seizure free after the temporal lobectomy I became a firefighter and was driving fire apparatus. I had to retire after suffering the TBI. I have been a patient to 4 well known Medical Centers (UVA, VCU, Cleveland Mayo Clinic and Duke University. That is what Epilepsy did to me.

Bummer. I went seizure free for many years. UNTIL a doktor broke my nose during a simple biopsy on my face, which caused a concussion. It's sad that so many suffer from other people's negligence, stupidity, and arrogance. Wishing you well. We got better once, we can do it again. Don't give up.

Hello Dr. Danoun. Thank you for sharing. I started having seizures in 2021 after receiving an emergency blood transfusion due to being anemic. Since then, the seizures come during the same week of the month, every month which seems to be hormonal (possibly catamenial). I was diagnosed 2 months ago with autoimmune epilepsy after 3 years of monthly seizures. Meds aren’t helping, the seizures come monthly and my epileptologist stated that my epilepsy could be catamenial as well as autoimmune, but he hasn’t treated me for the catamenial epilepsy. I truly feel that my hormones are causing the monthly seizures. How can this be treated to get the seizures to stop ?

As a person who's partner has epilepsy I can understand why you feel so upset. As the good doc said there is no one treatment fights all people. So a good doctor is very important. First what country do you live in, is he taking his medication, are you making a log of his episodes. You could review see if there is a better medication, consider cbd oil.

[@ShastaBean]

he skims over it for just a few seconds around 10:10 and calling it metabolic. i.e., deficiency. When we listen carefully...most will never seek anything other than "treat". If hoping to reverse or prevent the condition, it's up to yourself. Or get lucky to find one to help with testing. Highly likely the roads all lead to calcium. Which means deficient or problems with VitD, or Mg, or B1, or B6 - or all of the above...as they are interdependent. Getting that figured out is hard. But not compared to getting anyone to even listen or consider it...which is much, much harder. Almost to the point that it might be easier to not even know. And the "treatment" very often is a guarantee that if a person even thinks for a second about not taking them. = episode.

Use nano bots to block the electricity flow, or increase it if needed. There has to be a way to eradicate epilepsy.

What about a really active brain like mine?

[@Maiseevang]

I've had the following -EEG -MRI AND BOTH CAME BACK NORMAL. 🙄 As a 30yold.... I've been restricted from driving for 3months with normal results. I understand precaution and prevention from getting hurt and hurting others but with results that says I'm normal is discouraging.

When you’re a baby you can have epilepsy if you get a high fever that parents can’t reduce

Does anyone know of epilepsy that started after the birth of my second child. I am A negative and my children were positive. I received shots during pregnancy so as not to abort my child. Could that have been the reason I got epilepsy which 29 years later I get auras every once in awhile but not drop seizures anymore thank God.

All mine come back normal every single one that they’ve ever done, but they know they are epileptic seizures because of how they present in my family’s records of them. That always gets real fun. They thought I had an epileptic seizures for like six months because I had two seizures in one day for some reason and ended up in the hospital and one of the first questions they asked me did I have sexual abuse in my past and I answered them honestly yes. So they immediately jumped to PNES yeah, wasn’t I’ve had seizures at age 4 and they just decided to come back one day they’re not being able to remember things really does make me worry about later on when I’m older Lamento at least keeps the big ones and they but oh my God if it’s near my Period Yet lots of them and I mean lots they’re just partial seizures, but geez, cause I have like four different types. I think they said, but there’s a lot of medication I can’t take because it causes mental health problems. Is there a link between temporal lobe, seizures, and autism? Or for being born very early or blindness even I’m really curious but my worry is later on because I have asymmetry in the left temporal Road in the hippocampus from the other side and I think most of them start on the left even if I could see it probably would not be allowed to drive

Interesting comments below the video about cannabis. My use helps calm seizures. It helps post seizure. I'd say it helps prevent seizures. I know several other women who say the same thing. I know families that have moved to states where it's legal because it helps their children and infants with epilepsy. Too bad it's still illegal in so many places when it's proven to help. The VA has studies that show cannabis helps with post concussion disorder and seizures.

What about epilepsy and DID i recently watch a "Rotten Mango" video is a KZbin channel that talks about crime i guess Well they talk about a woman who microwave her child after having epilepsy but she also argue maybe it was DID because she cannot remember anything, so i wonder can someone have DID and epilepsy?
