Hey, I'm an epileptic and I'm hoping hard that you're doing ok.

I know you probably know what's up with your brains (as much as we can know, lol), but please give yourself a break from shit if you can.

I used to snap back within a few hours after my tonic clonics, but realized after a while that I was prolonging my recovery period. If you got the time, I hope you sleep lots.

hi thank you for this, sometimes its hard to remember that there are other people out there who deal with it too. its so isolating

im still fairly new to having epilepsy, i was diagnosed at 18 after my first tonic clonic and my neurologist puts me on huge waitlists for everything so i havent learned a lot about whats going on outside of my own experiences. i feel blessed that i dont normally have seizures that cause me to go unconscious but theyre still equally debilitating because i lose parts of my vision, my hands and mouth go numb, and i get horrible migraines. sleeping and sometimes just laying down is really the only thing that makes that subside. do you mind if i ask you about how you cope with it? i wont publish it if you dont want me to and you want to stay on anon. i know nothing is universal but if you have anything that helps you get back to normal after you seize i would love to hear it. i do have medication for my seizures but i have had poor reactions to all the meds ive tried and so far im on the most bearable one, which gives me kidney and bladder infections, so obviously im not very pleased about taking it. ive been searching for anything else that might make my life a little bit easier
