Ready for a Medical Emergency?
A brain scan revealed a tumor on the brain which caused a
seizure
leading to his fall in the bathroom. Determination for surgery has not yet been made. Living alone, I'd earlier prepared a folder "For Emergency" and have it on credenza by front door. It contains: 1.

Loneliness
I end up hiding my condition from most people, lying about whether a bump on my head is really from a
seizure
. I am not sure what the consequences of being more open about it.

Every day seizures
Last year she got a very high dose of tramadol at the emergency room because of the pain. 2 hours later, started to
seizure
. Since then she has been admitted at ICU 6 times under epileptic status . But ...in the last 4 times there's no evidence of epilepsy in the EEG.

Keppra side effects- does reducing the dose cause seizures?
Hi, I have been on Keppra 1000mg bd for the last 3 years which hasnt changed my grand mal
seizure
frequency, only the absence seizures. I developed side effects which I have ignored as I was too scared of another
seizure
to risk reducing it back down to 750mg bd.

Sepsis & alcohol withdrawal. Father won’t respond as doctors would like coming off sedation
He did has a
seizure
Saturday night. It wasn’t a full lockdown and lasted about two minutes. They said that was likely due to the AWD. They did a CT scan to make sure his brain looked ok and everything came back normal. As I said, he’s been on and off the sedation.

ALWAYS get a second opinion
Haldol works wonders for some people, yet it gave me a
seizure
like side effect and allergic reaction that I basically had to be stabbed with cogentin. If you aren't making progress, or are having bad side effects, research, talk to your current doctor, and get to know your pharmacist.

Pregnancy and Epilepsy
I know that the third trimester is usually considered the most dangerous time especially if the seizures increase or are worse, but I can’t find much consensus on
seizure
activity in the early stages.

Wolf Parkinson White - should I have an ablation?
A stressful time, not knowing whether another
seizure
could happen at any point, I really admire those people living with epilepsy.

Why are benzos so vilified and how do I bring this up with a new doctor without sounding like a drug seeker?
Result: Complete body dystonia, a swollen tongue,
seizure
like eps where I needed to be stabbed with cogentin to calm my body that was the equivalent of a scene from the exorcism of Emily Rose. Gabapentin caused dizziness, drowsiness and confusion.

Newly diagnosed with generalized seizures
I was just recently diagnosed with epilepsy, I had my First tonic clonic
seizure
at the end of May. I recently had an EEG done and my doctor diagnosed me with generalized seizures. Over the past year I’ve had a mixture of absence and myoclonic seizures.
