Epilepsy day

The ol' brain is shorting out again today, so I'm keeping things pretty low key. I tried to sleep in as long as I could. That will frequently help the seizures to go away, but it did nothing for me today

Yeah, I've considered that too, that I'm only remembering dreams that I'd forgotten. But too often they're so specific to something I'm currently seeing, it would be too much a coincidence (too often) that I actually had been dreaming it recently.

Is there medication you can take to help reduce the seizures? I know there was something someone else took for his seizures but his weren't related to epilepsy.

Actually, there are meds that can pretty much keep them from ever happening, but I would have to take them every day and from what I've read, the body grows to depend on them, so if I miss a day, I would probably have my spells. As it is, I get them 5-10 times a year and usually they aren't even as bad as they were the other day. So changing my life so much as to have to take meds a couple times a day every day just doesn't seem worth it to me. If the szs increase in frequency or severity, I would gladly get on them. but for now, they're just an occasional irritation to me. When I'm not having them, I generally forget they are a part of my life. If I were on meds, it would be with me always.
