anyone here with epilepsy?

Question

I've been trying to have a baby for awhile & about a year ago I had a miscarriage, my first child I had to pull the plug on and he was basically living off of life support . it was pretty hard because he was also born on my b-day

Answer

I started having seizures after I was on the depo shot. I was diagnosed with pseudo tumor cerebri...basically now my CSF fluid doesn't drain correctly. I was feeling really sick foe the past week I started throwing up which then caused me to have one witnessed seziure at home and two in the ER. They ran a bunch of tests collected a urine sample. it came back positive for pregnancy. I am so scared and terrified. They listed me as a high risk pregnancy and I now habe two OBs and a internist doctor watching me through this whole pregnancy. on one hand I'm so happy I'm 28 first time ever tested positive but on the other I'm afraid my heart medication and seizure medication might do something to the baby

Answer

I have epilepsy. Was diagnosed as a teenager. Luckily my seizures aren’t severe but I do have frequent memory lapses which are very frustrating. Being tired is a major trigger for me which makes my job hard as I work shift/on call work and don’t get to sleep through the night most of the time.

Answer

Iv got epilepsy

Answer

I also have epilepsy, been diagnosed  since I was 10 but as I gotten order they have gotten better. I am 26 now with 3kids. I have been seizure free going on 2years(no surgery involved). My middle child has it but he has been seizure free going 3 years. My weight played a bug role in seizures. I have the gran mal and petite mal but they rarely come unless I am stressed.

Answer

I got diagnosed when I was 18 but my parents noticed differences when I was about 16/17. I had grand mals while sleeping( 1 every other week on average) and petite mals during the day (20- 30). At 23 I went in for brain surgery and went seizure free about 5 years and then they came back but different, I would have at least 2 grand mal seizures a week during the day starting off as a petite mal and then go into a grand mal, coherent during the whole process as in could hear what was said around me and to me but couldn’t respond besides saying “yup” and could feel myself choking as I convulsed. My petites were still 20-30 a day. 
   As of now I’m on Briviact and tegratol, have gone 3 years without a gran mal and a petite mal comes maybe 3x a month if that. I’m also 30 weeks pregnant and so far everything is going great with it. No issues
