TLE and weather changes

Tue, 10/08/2013 - 21:49
Hey does anyone have temporal lobe epilepsy and have trouble with seizures around certain times of the year. I havent been diagnosed with epilepsy for very long and recently have started having a significant amount of seizures and I wasnt sure if maybe this time of year just isnt good for me. Last year around this time of year was when things got really bad for me and months later I was diagnosed but have been told I have had epilepsy for many years. Just wanting other people opinions, Thanks!

Well, when all the seizures started I called my neuro and kept trying to get in and couldn't. They upped my medication 3 times in a month maybe 5 weeks and it did not help. I continued to have more and more seizures. I had my neuro appt a few days ago and explained everything to him and at this time I had thought this could have all been caused from a possible concussion. I had a ct scan and that came back normal. He did switch my meds so hopefully that will help. I was told when I was diagnosed that I had epilepsy for many years due to a subdural hematoma when I was 2. I am now 27. So I am still learning and trying to figure things out which I am sure is a never ending process.
