I still remember my first seizure. I was 9 or 10 yrs old, and I think in the 5th grade. I found out from my birth mom that epilepsy runs really bad in our family. My mom has it, my aunt molly has it. I take strong medication to control my seizures. So I haven't had one since I was probably 19 or 20 and Im 27 now. Because of how long I've gone without having a seizure, my neurologist has given me permission to drive a car.

My son started having seizures when he turned 21 years old....so unforgiving to watch him go thru ...the meds he takes are destroying his teeth....it has really changed him as he seems agitated often & depressed...he now lives with me ... everyone else in his life has walked away because they don't want to deal with his illness ...but I can't ...

Neurologists only test for and diagnose seizure and seizure-related disorders. Epileptologists are specialists that treat and diagnose epilepsy; I only know, because

my cousin has an epilepsy for more than a decade now...she do not feel when she will have an attack, it is so sudden and unpredictable that it's so scary to leave her without any companion but even though she have this sickness, she is a role mode because she strive to do her best and she already have her masters degree at a young age.

I actually have seizures! I never know or remember when I have them. I am on meds for it and it’s mostly under control ( I say mostly cause I’ll have one every once in a while)

Fortunately had brain surgery back in June of 2023 and since then haven’t had a seizure I know of. Still on meds though. I hope maybe your son can have surgery one day ❤️

Where's my fellow epileptics at? ✌️

my wife used to have nocturnal tonic clonic seizures, about one every 6 to 12 months.
During pregnancy/delivery her epidural her anesthesiologist punctured the Dura, leaving her with a Spinal Fluid (SPF leak). This led to some massive postural headaches. To repair, they gave her a blood patch (basically a second epidural).
First, the headaches instantaneously disappeared. Secondly, it's been > 2 1/2 years since her last seizure.
I wanted to share this as there has been a lot of research in the past few years around chronic/slow SPF leaks that, when treated with a blood patch, have led to complete turnarounds for patients with POTS syndrome and other ailments.
