How have you taken charge?
Wed, 10/18/2006 - 08:42Topic: Corner Booth
andym's entry over here: "What do you think?" got me thinking.
What do you do to take control of your epilepsy? How do you reduce the things that trigger your seizures?
For me, we know stress triggers my seizures more than anything else. I know there are other things, but I don't know what they are.
To reduce the stress, I've started going to the gym and I've started a belly dance class. It's a blast!
Anyone else?

I take my medication of course, in addition I also pray, bicycle a lot and spend time writting.

Eat right and get plenty of rest. I'm a lousy eater and have trouble sleeping at night.

Well the first thing I did to take control was accept that, I am what I am, and to stop trying far too hard to prove my worth, it was society that had the problem not me. This relieved a lot of my stress and I combined this with meditation and breathing exercises and little things like taking pleasure in the simple things in life. I cycle a lot and walk in the local countryside so that's combining exercise and the joys of nature that bring me so much pleasure. It may all sound very simple but it's worked wonders for me.
