Getting started in the morning

Mon, 05/02/2016 - 18:43
Hello, I've noticed recently that I've been struggling a little it with getting my mornings going. I'm very forgetful and I can't tell if I'm having short seizures, or if it's just because my medicine hasn't kicked in yet. This all usually happens right after I wake up. It's becoming increasingly frustrating as its affecting my social interactions with people. Does this happen to anyone else? I feel as if my overall memory in the morning is terrible.

This usually happens to me

This usually happens to me about thirty minutes in the morning atleast until my medicines kick in.  Don't over do anything until you've taken your meds and definetly don't take hot showers immediately afterwards.
