I am a 62 year old male with no previous epilepsy history and no known family history. In 2019 I was diagnosed with exertional syncope after 2 seizure episodes brought on by being unable to breathe after exerting myself, at the time I was diagnosed with COPD and Asthma. Then nothing until early 2021 when I started getting dejevu episodes and then had a seizure after being exposed to gas. I then contracted COVID and had another seizure around March 21. Since then in 2022/23 I have had 3 unprovoked seizures the last being on Tuesday past 26/9/23. These seizures are getting closer together they have no obvious triggers. They are putting me on to Lamotrigine, I would prefer to remain drug free, I already do a Keto diet leaning towards carnivore, any advice help etc. would be appreciated…🙏🙏🙏thank you
i was diagnosed with PNES and FND seizures due to my brain not being able to process stress the same after trauma by a neurologist. my neuropsychologist said they caught misfiring in my nervous system but not enough to create an epileptic seizure as a whole. some of my seizure symptoms include turning my head to the side, fast blinking, and mouth twitches that appears like a tonic-clonic while going unconscious. i am getting a 2nd opinion for focal epilepsy. do you think this could still be PNES? everybody else say my seizures do not appear non-epileptic
I was diagnosed w focal seizures + put on keppra. But EEGs/MRIs found nothing. So i tried an experiment of going off meds + after 6 days, my wife video recorded a seizure when i was asleep. Now i am convinced of the seizure + back on keppra 😂
Benvida And I take lamictal medication. It causes distraction and concentration disorder while studying. What should I do for this? Thank you for your reply 🙏❤️

Hello Doc, my brother had his first seizure at 30yrs old, with no known cause and his back hurts. Xray shows a mild dextroscoliosis. EEG is clear and waiting MRI result. Any advice?
My daughter have generalized she is taking. Keppra , ethosesimide , clonazepam, lacosemide not helping her at all more depressed, sizeure is happen often being a college student it’s very hard missing classes she is nineteen please please help
My daughter (7yo) has had a first seizure incident, followed by an EEG which shown spikes in activity in the right temporal part of brain (not center, so can't exactly say its benign, as per our consulting doctor) - Brain MRI was normal. The diagnosis suggests introducing ASM to prevent future seizures as she is now considered in the higher risk category :(. We are a little worried to introduce medication at a young age itself. (given the side effects) @@DrOmarDanoun
All the reading on BRE or SeLECTS mostly suggest partial seizures as being common, hence my earlier question to you. That said, still torn on whether introducing medication is the apt thing to do (wondering)
I am epileptic patient at age of 9 years but at age of 18 I am facing absence seizure and I am using lacolep 50mg levtriacetam750mg oxcarbazepine 300mg.. Using this dose 3 times in a day.. I think this is to much.. but by using this 😢 absence seizure not stop.. Now what should I do

If i want book a appointment with you in person how long beforehand did so
i was diagnosed with PNES and FND seizures due to my brain not being able to process stress the same after trauma by a neurologist. my neuropsychologist said they caught misfiring in my nervous system but not enough to create an epileptic seizure as a whole. some of my seizure symptoms include turning my head to the side, fast blinking, and mouth twitches that appears like a tonic-clonic while going unconscious. i am getting a 2nd opinion for focal epilepsy. do you think this could still be PNES? everybody else say my seizures do not appear non-epileptic
Best to review the PNES series and apply what we say in diagnosis and do that test

What are the usual aftereffects of surgery? (do meds get lowered until seizures happen then they get slightly raised to a therapeutic dose)
Explained in the video on drug resistant epilepsy and Epilepsy surgery

Hello Doc, my brother had his first seizure at 30yrs old, with no known cause and his back hurts. Xray shows a mild dextroscoliosis. EEG is clear and waiting MRI result. Any advice?
Yes. There are many high quality videos on epilepsy in the RUclips channel. Please review them to learn a lot and discuss with your neurologist
Is that possible to take anestesia during EEG test
Yes but better to avoid it because anesthesia will make the EEG suppressed
