Just in need of moral support
I was diagnosed with epilepsy after having my son 3 years ago. I had eclampsia with my son and had a seizure during labour. I then had another seizure 7 weeks later and was put into Epilim. I was then changed from that due to side effects to Keppra. I was steady on that for a year and then in January

Side effects of epilepsy medication
My husband is taking Keppra, Phenytoin and Clobazam. he suffers from stomach ache and burping particularly after sleeping in the afternoon. He takes the Phenytoin at lunchtime. Has anybody suffered the same effects and could it be linked to any of the medication?

Is this as good as it gets?
Hello all, thank you for allowing me to join your little group. I've been reading past posts and I'm wondering if you all can give me some insight. Although I have had positive blood work for ACL since 2012, I was just diagnosed with APS following a TIA in April. Prior to that, I had only had non-diagnostic

Should we try and adjust meds?
My 3 year old is on keppra. Has been for 4 months. His seizures are under control which is great. We has some lousy side effects for 2 months. Now he gets tired, needs a buggy more than normal and feels a bit off a few times a week. But most people would never notice these things. occasionally he says

Ketogenic Diet
Hi everyone, I’ve got temporal lobe epilepsy, which started a couple of years ago. I have been recommended by a friend that a low-card/sugar and high in fat diet (Ketogenic) and potentially some homeopathic remedies (Vertigoheel) could help me control my seizures. Has anyone had any experience of this

Rattling
Pharyngitis. I'd never heard of it until yesterday. But now I've got it, with inflamed tonsils. Deep joy. My voice is now nothing more than a strained whisper and I'm not leaving my bed today. Soooo... I'm now taking 8 penicillin tablets a day to attack my throat like a unit of green berets on a mission

NEWLY DIAGNOSED BUT NOW MYSTIFIED
I was in hospital recently for a serious bowel operation and whilst 'incarcerated' was told I have epilepsy. Several years ago I started to have moments when I jerked unexpectedly (and usually managed to knock something over in the process), which my then doctor diagnosed as tardive diskenesia. At

Hello I've had epilepsy since I was about 12 years old and it was controlled with Lamictal not lamotrigne. However 4 months ago I had a twenty/thirty minute absence so went to see a neurologist. Initially we increased lamictal but I ended up poisoning myself so had to reduce the dosage back to the original
