Eclipse and seizures?
Tue, 08/22/2017 - 11:13Topic: Women With Epilepsy
Hi everyone, I'm completely new here...my 20year old daughter has just begun having seizures and her neurologist said it is likely a form of epilepsy. She had one last September, and another in July, which prompted testing from neurologist.
Her roommate at college called me in the middle of last night to say she had a pretty strong episode...I'm wondering if yesterday's eclipse could have had an effect on her seizure activity? Anyone else notice a link?
I'm just about to start reading all the information on this site - thankful for the knowledge and support!
