Post Tracheostomy and intubation
My mum (43) was in an induced coma for 2 weeks at the start of January due to a prolonged
seizure
that was out of the blue. She was in hospital for a further two weeks as she had a tracheostomy in to help her wake with ease from the induced coma.

Personality change after SAH
I had a SAH in April 2017 no warning had a
seizure
and son found me luckily. Sent to JR in Oxford where I was operated on the next day. I had coils inserted and all seems to be going well. Headaches reduced greatly and I am back at work full time.

Can absence seizures cause long term memory loss?
When I was younger I had absence seizures (most mornings I would have one or two) I wasn’t fully diagnosed with them until I had a tonic clonic
seizure
in 2010. (I’m 23 years old now) And I’ve noticed that I can’t remember loads of things from when I was younger.

Foods after a seizure
Had a sleep
seizure
last night. Just in the final steps of recovering but does anyone have any advice on foods to eat after a
seizure
? I don’t know if it’s the same with others but still feel like vomiting/nausea but I know I have to eat. Any tips?

Take two seizure medications?
Are there people out there who take two
seizure
medications? I am on 1000 mg of keppra in the morning, and in the evening. ALSO I take 200 mg of dilantin in the morning, and at night also. I have had no side effects.

Uber et al
The alternative is to allow epilepsy to dictate how I live my life; sure, I might have a
seizure
in the middle of Menlyn Mall (and with my luck, that might just happen! But what's the alternative?

Focal seizures
Hello results of my husband's scan came back saying he's got Focal
Seizure
. He is recovering from Ataxia Brain Injury. He will have shakes/jerks, they come and go. Might be ok for a long period but then it'll come again so I insisted on a brain scan.

MBC Help for Lymphodema and Cellulits
Researching Gabapentin alarmed me especially because it is listed primarily as a
seizure
med and my friend was on
seizure
meds for several yrs ago because of seizures. I also read that it has serious side effects and is not to be stopped suddenly. None of this was told my friend.

Partial seizures at work
luckily for me i only really suffer with sleep and partial seizures, i have not had a full day
seizure
in over 7 years. problem is that at work i have had a few partials and ignored them at first, as i only had a few blank moments when working, just dropping things etc.

Epilepsy Medication
She is currently switching from Keppra to Trileptal as doctors think her Epilepsy symptoms are more Focal onset however, her last
seizure
was generalised tonic-clinic
seizure
so now we stopped reducing the keppra dosage until next EEG scan.

Verge of a seizure sensation?
Sometimes I get the feeling that I’m on the verge of having a
seizure
, I’ve never had one and don’t even know what they feel like, but it’s the first thought that comes to mind

I think I may have figured out the cause of my episodes
I think I figured out whatbus causing my
seizure

Scary day yesterday
People will probably not have much sympathy for me but while at work yesterday I felt fine all day then the next thing I remember is having a really bad headache and my left arm and leg were really aching which I'm assuming was from a
seizure
as I have a total blank of about 10 mins.

Medication questions
It’s been 3 years since I suffered my first full tonic-clinic
seizure
at the age of 41 (nearly 42). It’s taken me all this time to share my thoughts and feeling with other people who understand. My thanks to all those who responded to my first posting.
