How can I explain my condition to my three years old daughter?
Sometimes when I get back to normal after the
seizure
, I find her crying and I don't know the way that I can use to explain it to her.

Withdrawal from benzo still?
I ended up in detox (which i was trying to avoid) after a
seizure
. They couldn't do much for the benzo part of the withdrawal because i refused to go on a different benzo. I did welcome a low dose of suboxone to help with opiate part.

Help
But two weeks ago he had a
seizure
type episode in the night, it was dreadful to witness &I really thought he was dying. The paramedics were brilliant they didn’t want to take him into A&E because of the virus.

Hallucinations
Similar things started to happen again when I was aa going into a
seizure
and I wonder if the too where linked. Migraines too have led to me seeing moving shapes and colours. I feel all of these symptoms are linked to my TBI

Burn Survivor and Stuck in Chronic Depression
I was burned 12 years ago when I had my first
seizure
, ever since then I've been diagnosed as an epileptic. I was burned on 40-50% of my body at 17 y/o, I had flatlined, and my world turned upside down.

Feelings of Deja Vu
I had a
seizure
in 2011 and ever since I have experienced occasionally a strange feeling of Deja Vu. It seems to happen when I am tired, a bit stressed or when I would have been due a period.

Advice for recently diagnosed
I’m 20 so I’m still trying to get my head around the condition, my auntie died of a epileptic
seizure
so for me all I can think about is that! Thank you! ☺️

Post exercise twitching.....anyone else feel increased twitching/jerks/spasms after voluntary movements?
This isn't
seizure
level twitching but intense momentary jerks...sometimes the same jerk five or six times in a row. Other times it's a leg or an arm, maybe a combination of limbs....you never know. The twitching seems to amplify with the intensity of my exercise.

seizure while driving?
Last year, I had weird issue while driving.it was a 5 hour drive and it was fine but then, out of the blue, couldn't control my eyes and I kind of froze up. Was able to get to side of the road, but it was scary. Now I'm on gabapentin for migraines and take valium for vertigo . But yesterday, it happened

Daughter had sensory seizure yesterday
My daughter had her first daytime
seizure
. It was a bad smell accompanied eventually by headaches, twitching eyes, and tingling face. Our doctor is increasing the keppra to 4 mL twice a day. We're also going to try melatonin to get her sleep more on track.

Vimpat and side effects?
I have had epilepsy for fifty years, the mixture of Vimpat 400 mg and Briviact 125mg seems to work, one
seizure
since April 2018 [circa 400 + seizures in 50 years] even that one
seizure
was caused via outside factors?
