Thank you i just had one yesterday 😪😪

[@robertdeffenbaugh9004]

It’s weird that lack of sleep causes Seizures when Seizures during Sleep is common for Sudep.

[@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation]

We all have different triggers, if I don't get enough sleep, it doesn't trigger my seizures, but panic attacks. The biggest thing that triggered my seizures as a child was a drop in the barometric pressure.

[@sree8224]

@@robertdeffenbaugh9004 do you get seizures during sleep? For me doctors found no cause in any investigation. It started 2 years back and gets once in 3 or 4 months .

[@dustin.foreal6132]

The feeling after a seizure is horrendous, like your entire body doesn’t want to move and when it happened to me I was really not doing good at all it was terrible.

[@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation]

I'm so sorry you experience this. When I had tonic-clonic seizures I experienced the same thing.

[@katsukibakugou5453]

Kind of like you ran a marathon?? That's how it felt to me

Yes it is!!! I had my first one and was sent to the hospital they put me on pain medication for a few days so I didn’t really feel anything. My second seizure however I wasn’t put on anything and for 3 days straight my entire body hurt and it hurt to move

[@hopefaraway_]

the biggest trigger for my seizures is stress and it doesn’t help when your college gives you tons of assignments and presentations 😞 also my brain gives me really weird experiences on my period. i pray that all of us will get through this and get healed soon 🙏

[@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation]

Stress is a big trigger for me as well. Keeping up with my work when I was in college was challenging at times. I created a study schedule and plan for when I did my assignments. It helped me to keep on track with my studies as well as being able to keep up with my responsibilities outside of school. School is stressful, so try to find ways to reduce stress. Exercise, meditating, yoga, painting, and reading are some of my favorite things to do to relieve stress.

[@Cam-SB]

Stress, lack of sleep(which causes my body stress), and missed meds(which causes my brain to freak out and stress out.) So basically stress is all my triggers for my seizures.

[@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation]

For me, it's missed medication, stress, and sleep deprivation. When I was younger, when the barometric pressure would drop and we would get a bad thunderstorm that would cause me to have a seizure.

[@Cam-SB]

@@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation I'm sorry to hear that. :(

[@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation]

@@Cam-SB thank you. I've been very lucky, I haven't lost consciousness in years. At times I still have simple partial seizures, but I have come so far compared to when I was younger.

[@Cam-SB]

@@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation my neuro is trying to get me onto one drug and off another. As I was weaning off one, I started having seizures again. I had to go back onto 2 anticonvulsants... :/ it sucks. I just want to be on this one new med and off this other.

[@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation]

@@Cam-SB I'm so sorry that you are dealing with that. I have to be on two anticonvulsants as well to control my seizures. Then I take another one for my fibromyalgia. I can more than understand why you would want to make the changes you do. I hope that the doctor finds the right medication or the right combination soon. It took years for them to finally get it right for me so I know the feeling can be overwhelming.

[@Player838Edits]

I usually miss pills but i never got a seizure. God bless everyone and me.

Hey!! Please don’t miss the pills and complete your course. It all gets worst aftr you start missing the meds

You may feel fine but a seizure can trigger any time, please NEVER miss your meds till the course which has been dictated by your doctor.

[@Hunter_Shane]

I have seizures with no answers other than CAT SCANS😡! I’m on my way to DEMAND further testing on my brain such as a 24 Hour EEG! Pray that I get answers or atleast make progress! ILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU 🫵🏼🙏🏼

[@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation]

I would request one. You can have your doctor request a 72 hour ambulatory EEG. What they do is put the wires on your head and plug them into a device that looks like a box. You go home with it and it records everything. I had one years ago, and It was happy that I was able to be home while it was done. If that is not possible, I would ask to go to the EMU (epilepsy monitoring unit) to have it done.

Sadly it's true. So many of us do not deal with stress properly, affecting our overall health.

[@Drelexonthebeat]

Lack of sleep for sure, alcohol for sure !!!

[@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation]

Lack of sleep, stress, and changes in the barometric pressure are all triggers for me.

[@krishanicolegoarguelles3549]

Being on my period triggers my seizure. It’s like double suffering

[@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation]

Having catamenial epilepsy is very stressful. I had really bad cycles and finally had a hysterectomy for some relief. Besides medication, has your OB/GYN or neurologist looked into a hysterectomy? My friend had one and her seizures have greatly decreased.

[@elisanchez6526]

My seizure triggers and aura is like crying for no reason maybe anxiety or stress idk?

[@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation]

That sounds like a dacrystic seizure. Here is the link for our video on dacrystic seizures: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6m5o6ZjmJWtfZYsi=Bb-nWC-lLz-Gw7wK

[@Makenzy-xq8ek]

[@gowonclasp7249]

And also certain smell , excitement , noise and playing in to much water especially sea water those are what triggers my seizures

[@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation]

Stress and bad weather trigger mine.

[@weskal5490]

I think I had my first micro-seizure while watching YT a few hours ago. I was watching the court-case of the girl who killed her mother just recently and toward the end there's a round emblem on the court wall which says "The Great Seal Of The State Of Mississippi. In God We Trust". I found it very hypnotic and the next thing I know it was like a light bulb went off in my head and my vision experienced a wobbly, whirly persistence of vision of just the bird's feet holding the olive branch. If I closed my eyes it was etched in a bright light in my mind and if I had my eyes open it was transparent very similar to the transparent camouflage of the alien in the movie Predator, and it really screwed up my trying to see without being distracted by this wobbly POV. It stayed with me for about 10 minutes.

[@RajGangadhar-um9ep]

does epilepsy goawaya , because i got my first seizure 6 years ago due to clotting of blood near brain , and i followed two years medication And i thought it had gone away, but again after 6 years i got seizure yesterday, i got that due to stress. Is there any chance of getting anotherone . Does it go away??

[@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation]

Sadly epilepsy does not go away. Seizures can be controlled for a long time and then something can trigger them. I didn't have a seizure for years and then about two years ago, I started having simple partial seizures. It's been over a year since my last one, but I will have them the rest of my life. Please make sure to talk to your doctor about what happened and make sure to follow your treatment plan.

[@RajGangadhar-um9ep]

@@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation yaa consulted doctor and he said I'm out of danger , all I need to do is not to overthink and not to take any stress .But what is simple partial seizure?

[@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation]

@@RajGangadhar-um9ep a simple partial seizure is also known as an aura. Some people get confused, scared, hear sounds that are not there, blurry vision, and there are a few other symptoms. I either get scared or I have a surreal feeling like I am detaching from my body. It lasts for about 30 seconds for me.
