My life with epilepsy
Fri, 07/14/2017 - 23:18Topic: My Epilepsy Diary
I was born on October 21, 1979. I can't recall if I was diagnosed with hydrocephalus before or after birth, but I wasn't born with epilepsy. That occurred after my first seizure in June, 1981. Since then, my seizures were more or less well controlled, until last year. I experienced 4 seizures in the second half of the year, which is VERY unlike me. One on July 4th, one on October 13th, and two the day after Thanksgiving.

May I suggest talking to your doctor about a med called LaMICtal, If that dose not work, I went a whole year without arua or seizures taking a martial arts class. It was not so much what I learned, the over 100 jumping jack, stretching, working my body at least 5 days a week. You have heard it before," use it or lose it". Exercise make sense. As soon as I stopped everything came back with in a week. Good luck, life with out seizures can be amazing, always try new things don't let it win.
