Seizures & The Effects of Season Change & Daylight Savings Time
Wed, 09/06/2006 - 08:27Topic: Parents & Caregivers
My son was diagnosed two years ago with epilepsy. He is now 8 years old. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the seizures to be brought on by change of season or with daylight savings time. My son has had two grand mal seizures of which the first one occured in October of 2004, with that, he was placed on meds and sure enough in October 2005 another grand mal. I am very worried as October is rapidly approaching us. Has anyone else out there experienced this? I certainly do not feel that it is coincidental.
Hope to hear from you!
Thanks and make it a great one!

I just opened this website this morning to see if I was the only one with this problem. In a way, I wish I was because I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I dread the change every year because I know I will have this problem.

That's exactly how I feel! I don't know how often I have to tell people, "Sorry, my brain is not firing on all cylinders today." It's embarrassing to ask people to repeat the same thing over and over, and it's frustrating for me to have to read something over and over, only to forget what I just read.
