Epilepsy and chronic pain

Fri, 10/07/2016 - 12:03
I know for many of us epilepsy is only part of our health problems. For me I have endometriosis and Crohn's disease as well as epilepsy. I've noticed an increase in my pain levels when my seizure activity increases, just like I get more abdominal pain when my Crohn's disease flares. I am just wondering if anyone else suffers with severe pain after their seizures. I've been on a seizure streak of 17 days without seizure relief (predominately nocturnal seizures only Myoclonic during the waking hours) My pain level is severe and the only thing that's changed is the length and severity of my seizures. Just want to know if you notice more pain when seizures are more active

Ever feel like no one

Ever feel like no one understands whats going on with you? Everyone expects you to do something on a dime when you are fighting with your body to function to do a task that should be easy? On a good day it's not an issue and you can hustle like anyone else but on a bad day your body isn't cooperating?
