Since being diagnosed with epilepsy, I’ve read that stress will trigger epileptic seizures in some people. Has this been true for a lot of you? I ignorantly assumed that if stress was the trigger, it was probably a non-epileptic seizure rather than an epileptic one. I guess I was wrong?
Just started Keppra last week. I felt fine for the first three days, but now I’m a mess of anxiety, low motivation, hopeless thoughts, and fatigue. Does this get better for most people if they wait it out?
I recently got diagnosed with epilepsy after years of thinking I was crazy, and it’s honestly a huge relief. I love understanding why I’m always so tired, why I wake up in weird episodes of nausea and sweating, and why my memory is so terrible haha. I know epilepsy is often a discouraging diagnosis for people, but how many of you were relieved? What about your diagnosis made you most grateful?
Let me know if you have ideas for where I should put it!
