I am 66 and have had tonic clonic Epilepsy since the age of 15. I know exactly how you feel. At first, I absolutely hated having Epilepsy. I just wanted to be normal like my friends at that time who were learning to drive. I have never driven since my Seizures have popped up over the years. Besides having Seizures, I live a pretty normal life. I thank God for the gift of my 2 children who are in their early 30s. I just live with my Epilepsy and take my medications. God Bless You. 🙏♥️
May you continue to touch the lives of many, bringing healing and hope to those who need it most. You are a true hero in the medical field, and I feel truly blessed to have had the opportunity to be your patient.Thanks for curing my epilepsy permanently ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for all you do and the research all of you are involved in. If you haven’t discussed it or found out already can you find out and explain why small seizures cause such an emotional imbalance afterwards? The seizure itself is scary but not I’m struggling more with how to stay calm after it’s gone when my emotions feel like I have no control almost worse than a panic attack. I am so thankful for people out there like you. Words can’t describe how much of a difference you make. It’s hard enough but people like you are our light in this dark tunnel helping us.
Hey there! You might be able to find some information if you do some research about the postictal state! I experience a lot of anxiety/depression afterward and can be quite rude/ angry for some reason after. Definitely harder than the seizure in a lot of ways for me.
In the year 2019 I had a brain surgery due clotting, on the left side of my head and it was bore hole, and now recently on December 2023 I had a sezure and again it happened on the 2nd of January of 2024
I am currently on the generic version of Keppra and it’s working OK for me so far my last seizure was three years ago and I live in Charlotte North Carolina near my family. I have had epilepsy since I was a baby. I have my first episode of Ceasers when I was a baby like six months old.
My 32 year old son has has epilepsy since he was 11, the down side is the unknown diagnosis for this disease. That root cause would be helpful. What intervention is needed for long term medication on anti epileptic meds. Keto is expensive to maintain. We both don't work. Meds are very expensive, thankful for God's provisions. Thank you
So glad to hear new things are happening for epilepsy, I have drug resistant genetic generalized epilepsy and your videos are always so informative and useful, thank you and love and light your way from Canada ✌️💜🇨🇦
Hi Dr Omar your videos are very informative. its my niece who had viral encephatalitis at the age of 13 and now suffering from generalized epilepsy. Iam from Mauritius the medicines she iwas taking were lacosamide tegretal lamotrigine phenobarbital levetas and rivotril the seizures continued since no appropriate treatment was available she went to a hospital in India only Rivotril has been replaced by Frisium the seizures have stopped by 95% the only problem is she has to take medicine to pass stool. would be grateful to have your views since she also got dropfoot after the viral ancephatalitis.Hoping Insha Allah to hear from you
I'm have been suffering from this issue since 2008 still I'm taking medication... Total I got 6 seizures since 2008 till now but when I wanted to stop medicine but I can't due to sudden unwanted illness of my body ... when I don't take medicine that time all of sudden I can't able to see in lights, sunlights or can't even hear notices or can't even watch movies ... don't know why it happens
I have been diagnosed with simple complex siezures. Ive tooken all medications and they dont work. Im been taking a new medication xcopri for 4 years now. Its helped a little. I have like 2 to 3 siezures a month. I have a vns implant as well. But it really dosnt help either. I feel the aura before i go into the siezure. I believe ive had the vns implant is in me more than 6 years now. Ive recently had a surgery to replace my battery 2 years ago .
My husband is 84; he and his sister are both on Keppra. He takes 1000 milligrams every 12 hours; she takes 500 milligrams at bedtime. Everything I've seen so far is about young people. I need info about elderly.
I'm 70 and have had epilepsy for 65 years now. My younger sister had it as a child, and a worse case than me. Somehow she "grew out" of it. No more seizures or need for meds. Then one day out of the blue when she was 56 I heard a sound from her room that sounded like someone having a seizure. I ran in, and she was having one. They put her in the hospital for a few days of testing. Nancy went back on seizure meds. She was taking a lower dose of Keppra. I take Keppra, lamotragine, and zonisimide. Keppra is the main one. I don't know what changed, but summer of last year I went from being well controlled to having very frequent myoclonic seizures, or at least the auras that would stop before going into the myoclonic jerks. We almost doubled my Keppra dosage. I am now up to 1,750mg twice a day along with the other two meds. This level seems to be working pretty well. I don't know if your husband and his sister have the horrible mood side effects with Keppra with anger, rage, hostility, agitation, irritability, etc. It has that effect on me. The bad part is that I can't always recognize when it is presenting itself. I almost lost a job years ago when I started it because of the way I was treating my coworkers. I couldn't see that anything was happening. I had to start taking an antidepressant. I have been through several different ones over the years. When my doctor had to double my dose, I was afraid I would be a raging monster and not know it. I took a couple months off work to get stabilized. When I went back to work I asked my work partner to call me out if she observed any behavioral changes. I told her not to be afraid of hurting my feelings or anything. If I change I need to know so my doctor can increase my antidepressant. She was such a sweetheart to always support me through all of this. But yeah....there are plenty of us old ducks out here with it and taking Keppra, too. I hope both do well. He is blessed to have a sweet, loving, supportive wife like you 💜💜💜💜
As someone thats doing testing to have brain surgery for epilepsy i appreciate your videos. I will be having a stero EEG in a month or so to get more information.

I was told years ago that I have a scar on my left temple lobe. A dr told me about the Lazer Brain surgery, but I was to scared.. it's just scary thinking about it.
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ Dr.I'm epilepsy patient last 10 years and I had seizure 3 or 4 times daily, I regularly used anti epileptic medicines but no result so far, I want to have surgery but i can't afford surgery cost.
Hi I'm watching you from Texas and thank you for the information. My daughter is epileptic and has two babies, she started with epilepsy when she got pregnant. Well she started getting the seizures, I think that she's had it since she was a child but it was silent. She had episodes instead of seizures.
Yes she was diagnosed with "frontal lobe" and when she gets a seizure she moves her head to one side before she drops. I pray that all this stops, praying for you as well @@kaylawallon9651
I live in Idaho. I'm 69 yrs old. I've never had a seizure until the pandemic. The stress I believe triggered it. I'm on the 4th med and none have helped. I'm also very sensitive to pharmaceutical drugs. It's been a night mare. I'm thinking of trying acupuncture. Do you recommend it? Thank you
Im 34 got epilepsy last year had 3 tonic clonic and now i only have absence seizures thank god for that. I have tried 4 meds too but still have seizures 🇸🇪
VNS has been done on me, but it doesn't TOTALLY control the seizures. When I have a seizure it is very short. Doesn't even last more than one minute. Usually around 10 to 15 seconds only. I still have to take medications: Briviact and Vimpat. It has caused vocal cord paraylaze. (spelling?) I can still talk just fine, so it is not bad. Just have to watch closely for years to see if I will need to end up having surgery on my vocal cords.
India - I had back hit after falling from motorcycle, but my tonic clonic seizures after having a full body massage (a two decades ago)😢.. medicines are helpful. ❤
Hi there. My Grandson age three had his first seizure in November. He has been diagnosed with Doose syndrome. He has just come out of hospital after six weeks and was on a medically managed Ketogenic diet. It didn't work!! Can you throw any light on why it doesn't work for some? His meds have all been changed up with this new diagnosis and he has been seizure free for nearly a week. You name the seizure type and he was having them. I'm watching you from Ireland.

Hi doctor i had my first seizures at the age of 21 and doctor had told me to go through egc,mri but couldn't find the cause and instead i told doctor how the seizures happened.Then doctor prescribed me ZEPTOL CR 300.Till now I'm having the medicine moring onetablet and bedtime 2tablets.
Hi Dr , I also have epilepsy & I have been through two temporal lobectomies & I also been through 4 vagel nurve stimulator surgeries the VNS had to be shut down because the left side of my face would swell up my left eye would swell shut, my left ear would ring it got to the point I couldn't handle it no more. I asked to have it shut down. I'm 51 years old & my seizures got so bad I had a seizure at work on February 4 of this year I had a small stroke prior to going into the heavy seizure the Dr had to put me into a coma for about 4 days because the seizure was so strong I have been on every medicine on the market the Dr I'm seeing now started me on the newest med clobazam 10 mg & kept me on lamictal 150 mg my wife , mother & my boss had to use Nayzilam nasal spray on me multiple times ever sense the bad one in February i get the Oras quite often lately before the seizure .I lived with epilepsy sense 3 months old is there any other surgeries to bring the seizures to a stop . Thank you for your help and time . Dave .P
i have taken many seizure medications without success and my doctor has told me that epileptic surgery is only successful in a very very small percentage of patients. i have been forced to live with super painful and disabling grand mal seizures for 30 years, about 2-3/month. by the time i finally get over having a seizure i have another. a lot of times they result in injuries but not every time. trying to go to the er for the pain or inability to walk/move is pointless, most times they give me a 800mg ibuprofen (like trying to knock down a building by throwing a paper wad at it) and tell me to go home. this is not something i would wish on ANYONE WHATSOEVER (not my worst enemy or even satan himself) and i hope/pray NOONE EVER EVER HAS TO GO THROUGH THIS!!!!!!
Hi.I have had epilepsy since I was 18 years old.And now I am 39 years old already. In fact, my last seizure happened last April 1st this year. I have generalized epilepsy and still taking my maintenance lamitor 50mg. I am so worried about my memory. My brain is not that sharp as before.😢
@@DrOmarDanoun I was diagnosed with Catamenial epilepsy in 2009, however I think I had epilepsy since my hormones began because I had small periods of seizures that I was unaware of etc . I did have endometriosis and PCOS for 10 yrs however it took ten years to have one child and going through pregnancy Ana breastfeeding for 20 months I had absolutely no epilepsy . But I did have a seizure during childbirth. I had an epidural and giving Birth I was having a seizure. No one was aware of that except me.
Hello I'm from Philippines I hve a seizure disorder or epilepsy for more than 25 years. I want to be epilepsy free because i want to live a normal life unlike a seizure attack sometimes and they don't understand what ive felt or especially if im not feeling well because of the seizure
Hello Dr. Danoun! your videos are very helpful . I had a brain tumor at 17 years old . They did operation. Then 2007 the second surgery was successful then started to go down hill from there . I have been interested in laser ablation surgery not sure if anything other options of available. Thank you for your time and consideration!
Hello Dr. Danoun . My name is miche leo. I have been living with seizures since I was born . I am now 31 years old . All the MRI’s and CT Scans my doctors done were unable to show where the seizures are coming from . I wound like to know would I be a good candidate for laser abrasion surgery. Because I want to be seizure free and I have Vern looking for answers that could help I hope
My son 23 he was epilepsy during birth when he was one year he is well but when he is going five years he has again epilepsy. After that he took medication he is good 15 years. After 15 years he again attacks of seizer.
God bless you doctor, are you available in India we want a appointment with you or can you please suggest a best hospital in India in your touch to get the patient treated . Please help/suggest.
I’m on a medication and the Keto diet. I am seizure free now. Sometimes for a week or two I do the carnivore diet and notice that my other health issues are much better controlled. I have read that people with epilepsy have said that carnivore gives them better seizure control than Keto. Can you find any research on it or look into it? BTW my doctor in Phoenix area has met you several times and said you are a really nice guy.
Hi doctor, my name is nethaji 4yrs ago underwent Creniotomy surgery done. I'm taking tab brivanext 100mg per day, regularly but why some time thinking about convulsions will start, I don't know about like this sir please explain the details.
I have general epilepsy with a small spic and I am taking lamactol i feel fatigue and now is affecting my study and I don’t know what to do. I fall twice after starting taking the medication especially I think the medication is high dose for me 600mg but still the doctor wants me to have additional perampanel, so what else can you advise
My doctor has diagnosed me with partial complex seizures even though my 6 EEG tests have all come normal. He claims that I have abnormal electrical activity in the deep brain regions, although I am skeptical due to the clear testing. I have episodes of restlessness, anxiety and twitching of my facial muscles for 6-7hours every once in 3 days. Do you think that I should be on anti elliptic drugs? Should I trust my doctors treatment?
Hello Dr I had few major epilepsy stroke 5yrs back and I am using two type of medicin that is Kepra500 and epival 500 .I have a problem .I met 2 acidents while driving and the reason was that for few seconds I was mently off while driving with open eyes and feel like vomiting .what to do for this
My son is 23 and continues to have a full onset seizure about once every 45 days. His only treatment has been Keppra. He has been diagnosed with JM eat in the past and now it has turned to progressive. Watt particular treatment that you mentioned should we be following? By the way, I can’t thank you enough for such an informative video you gave us parents hope!
I have JME and diet and sleep is VERY important. I just found out i have a gene variation that causes me to be sensitive to glutamates. I increased salts and decrease my glutamates by limiting high glutamate foods like aged cheese and processed foods. You can't avoid glutamates altogether, but you can lower your intake of particularly high foods. Due to my particular gene i also have to add lots of salt to my diet, but always check with your dr before trying that. Keppra did not help me tho i cant remember if it was ineffective or had bad side effects. My dr has me on a very low dose of clobazam. Appearantly JME gets easier to treat as you age tho doesnt go away completely. My pharmacy sends my meds in dose paks to help me be diligent in taking my doses on time. I also found GABA related medications can aggravate my seizures. This includes gabapentin and magnolia bark. If your son is on a GABA med you should talk to your dr about the possibility it could be triggering seizures and consider changing meds. I hope these tips help! My 20s were rough but now im 43 and havent had a seizure in over a year. Keep trying! It can get better i promise!
Hi Doctor I am from India. My son is diagnosed with infatile spasms since 3rd month of his birth. Now he is 5yrs old ,still the spams occurs . There is a global development delay.
Hi . I have done with all the scans Pet sacn , Mri , video eeg. The report of MRI and pet scan were normal but still I am suffering with seizures. Dr. Tells us that moment was on both side of the brain and it can be also because of that I'm a pre mature child. Is it the reason?
Your enthusiasm for improving the quality of life for those with epilepsy, including PNES, is inspiring Doctor. I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico where we have a teaching hospital at the University of New Mexico. And their neurology department is terrible, in all honesty. They never provided the results of my EEG results to my neurologist following a suspected hemiplegic migraine which included a seizure. The EEG was in 2022!! I am planning to make an appointment with you as you are in my insurance network and I am absolutely thrilled to see a medical professional so enthusiastic in helping his patients. Your help can potentially change my life and getting to Detroit to consult with you will be worth every penny.

Last week, I missed a dose of Zonisamide one night and had a seizure the next day, which happens every time I do. 2 days ago, I looked at a high refresh rate monitor, which I thought would be good for me, but instead I had a seizure the next morning. I don’t know if it’s because of daily coffee, looking at the monitor for 30 minutes the night before, or stressed about war in Israel. Maybe all?
My son was given that medication, he is developing seizures he was okay since he was born till 3months ago that's when he got this seizures.hope that medication will help him.he is 8yrs now

I haven't been told that I am drug resistant, but I consider myself to be that. Recently, my neurologist recommended DBS and RNS. I have tried to learn about these treatments but have found most sources to be repetitive and uninformative. My Dr didn't give me much information to refer to. Please direct me. Thank you. I appreciate your feedback.

What intervention is needed for long term medication on anti epileptic meds. Keto is expensive to maintain. We both don't work. Meds are very expensive, thankful for God's provisions. Thank you
my Gf has on average 1 a year and doesnt take medication because she claims the medications make them more frequent.
True
So glad to hear new things are happening for epilepsy, I have drug resistant genetic generalized epilepsy and your videos are always so informative and useful, thank you and love and light your way from Canada ✌️💜🇨🇦
Glad to hear that! Thank you
Hello am Felix really satisfied with how you have explained seizer dieseas to me. Could I have a specific daiet that can reduce epilepsy.
Hi Dr Omar your videos are very informative. its my niece who had viral encephatalitis at the age of 13 and now suffering from generalized epilepsy. Iam from Mauritius the medicines she iwas taking were lacosamide tegretal lamotrigine phenobarbital levetas and rivotril the seizures continued since no appropriate treatment was available she went to a hospital in India only Rivotril has been replaced by Frisium the seizures have stopped by 95% the only problem is she has to take medicine to pass stool. would be grateful to have your views since she also got dropfoot after the viral ancephatalitis.Hoping Insha Allah to hear from you
I'm have been suffering from this issue since 2008 still I'm taking medication... Total I got 6 seizures since 2008 till now but when I wanted to stop medicine but I can't due to sudden unwanted illness of my body ... when I don't take medicine that time all of sudden I can't able to see in lights, sunlights or can't even hear notices or can't even watch movies ... don't know why it happens

Thanks doctor to showing the path
Hello Dr Omar,
Thanks for this good news. I'm watching from Cameroon in central Africa.
Xcopri 250mg along with a couple other epilepsy meds. But the xcopri is definitely helpful
I have been diagnosed with simple complex siezures. Ive tooken all medications and they dont work. Im been taking a new medication xcopri for 4 years now. Its helped a little. I have like 2 to 3 siezures a month. I have a vns implant as well. But it really dosnt help either. I feel the aura before i go into the siezure. I believe ive had the vns implant is in me more than 6 years now. Ive recently had a surgery to replace my battery 2 years ago .
Prayers for a successful surgery and speedy healing.🙏🙂
I love your information I, suffering of epilepsy Dr Omar 👍
Thank you
My husband is 84; he and his sister are both on Keppra. He takes 1000 milligrams every 12 hours; she takes 500 milligrams at bedtime. Everything I've seen so far is about young people. I need info about elderly.
I'm 70 and have had epilepsy for 65 years now. My younger sister had it as a child, and a worse case than me. Somehow she "grew out" of it. No more seizures or need for meds. Then one day out of the blue when she was 56 I heard a sound from her room that sounded like someone having a seizure. I ran in, and she was having one. They put her in the hospital for a few days of testing. Nancy went back on seizure meds. She was taking a lower dose of Keppra. I take Keppra, lamotragine, and zonisimide. Keppra is the main one. I don't know what changed, but summer of last year I went from being well controlled to having very frequent myoclonic seizures, or at least the auras that would stop before going into the myoclonic jerks. We almost doubled my Keppra dosage. I am now up to 1,750mg twice a day along with the other two meds. This level seems to be working pretty well.
I don't know if your husband and his sister have the horrible mood side effects with Keppra with anger, rage, hostility, agitation, irritability, etc. It has that effect on me. The bad part is that I can't always recognize when it is presenting itself. I almost lost a job years ago when I started it because of the way I was treating my coworkers. I couldn't see that anything was happening. I had to start taking an antidepressant. I have been through several different ones over the years. When my doctor had to double my dose, I was afraid I would be a raging monster and not know it. I took a couple months off work to get stabilized. When I went back to work I asked my work partner to call me out if she observed any behavioral changes. I told her not to be afraid of hurting my feelings or anything. If I change I need to know so my doctor can increase my antidepressant. She was such a sweetheart to always support me through all of this.
But yeah....there are plenty of us old ducks out here with it and taking Keppra, too. I hope both do well. He is blessed to have a sweet, loving, supportive wife like you 💜💜💜💜
Its a relieve to see these video,my daughter have epilepsy, and am looking forward for these technicd. I am watching from Afrca Namibia.

How are you doing do you still have seizures
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ
Dr.I'm epilepsy patient last 10 years and I had seizure 3 or 4 times daily, I regularly used anti epileptic medicines but no result so far, I want to have surgery but i can't afford surgery cost.
Hi I'm watching you from Texas and thank you for the information. My daughter is epileptic and has two babies, she started with epilepsy when she got pregnant. Well she started getting the seizures, I think that she's had it since she was a child but it was silent. She had episodes instead of seizures.

@@younidaeenergic work?
Glad I'm not alone. My epilepsy came about once I got pregnant as well and have had it since. Was she diagnosed with frontal lobe epilepsy?
Yes she was diagnosed with "frontal lobe" and when she gets a seizure she moves her head to one side before she drops. I pray that all this stops, praying for you as well @@kaylawallon9651
Watching from South Africa. My daughter got admitted into hospital for Neurological scans. Wish you could form part of the team ❤
I live in Idaho. I'm 69 yrs old. I've never had a seizure until the pandemic. The stress I believe triggered it. I'm on the 4th med and none have helped. I'm also very sensitive to pharmaceutical drugs. It's been a night mare. I'm thinking of trying acupuncture. Do you recommend it? Thank you
Im 34 got epilepsy last year had 3 tonic clonic and now i only have absence seizures thank god for that. I have tried 4 meds too but still have seizures 🇸🇪
Mine began after Covid too 😢
VNS has been done on me, but it doesn't TOTALLY control the seizures. When I have a seizure it is very short. Doesn't even last more than one minute. Usually around 10 to 15 seconds only. I still have to take medications: Briviact and Vimpat. It has caused vocal cord paraylaze. (spelling?) I can still talk just fine, so it is not bad. Just have to watch closely for years to see if I will need to end up having surgery on my vocal cords.
India - I had back hit after falling from motorcycle, but my tonic clonic seizures after having a full body massage (a two decades ago)😢.. medicines are helpful. ❤
Hi there. My Grandson age three had his first seizure in November. He has been diagnosed with Doose syndrome. He has just come out of hospital after six weeks and was on a medically managed Ketogenic diet. It didn't work!! Can you throw any light on why it doesn't work for some? His meds have all been changed up with this new diagnosis and he has been seizure free for nearly a week. You name the seizure type and he was having them. I'm watching you from Ireland.

Hi Dr , I also have epilepsy & I have been through two temporal lobectomies & I also been through 4 vagel nurve stimulator surgeries the VNS had to be shut down because the left side of my face would swell up my left eye would swell shut, my left ear would ring it got to the point I couldn't handle it no more. I asked to have it shut down. I'm 51 years old & my seizures got so bad I had a seizure at work on February 4 of this year I had a small stroke prior to going into the heavy seizure the Dr had to put me into a coma for about 4 days because the seizure was so strong I have been on every medicine on the market the Dr I'm seeing now started me on the newest med clobazam 10 mg & kept me on lamictal 150 mg my wife , mother & my boss had to use Nayzilam nasal spray on me multiple times ever sense the bad one in February i get the Oras quite often lately before the seizure .I lived with epilepsy sense 3 months old is there any other surgeries to bring the seizures to a stop . Thank you for your help and time . Dave .P
Memory loss and movement disorder. Medication free now and it resolved without medication. Partial left abnormal on mRI
i have taken many seizure medications without success and my doctor has told me that epileptic surgery is only successful in a very very small percentage of patients. i have been forced to live with super painful and disabling grand mal seizures for 30 years, about 2-3/month. by the time i finally get over having a seizure i have another. a lot of times they result in injuries but not every time. trying to go to the er for the pain or inability to walk/move is pointless, most times they give me a 800mg ibuprofen (like trying to knock down a building by throwing a paper wad at it) and tell me to go home. this is not something i would wish on ANYONE WHATSOEVER (not my worst enemy or even satan himself) and i hope/pray NOONE EVER EVER HAS TO GO THROUGH THIS!!!!!!
About a third of epilepsy patients can do surgery so it is not rare
. Best to see an Epilepsy center for full evaluation and treatment

Hello doc I'm watching with you from Philippines
God bless you doctor, are you available in India we want a appointment with you or can you please suggest a best hospital in India in your touch to get the patient treated .
Please help/suggest.
I’m on a medication and the Keto diet. I am seizure free now. Sometimes for a week or two I do the carnivore diet and notice that my other health issues are much better controlled. I have read that people with epilepsy have said that carnivore gives them better seizure control than Keto. Can you find any research on it or look into it? BTW my doctor in Phoenix area has met you several times and said you are a really nice guy.
Glad to hear that... I am not sure if we have solid studies. Who is your doctor?
@@DrOmarDanoun Dr Yazzan Al Hasan.
Yes, Dr. Al Hassan is a great doctor. We did meet and work together. You are in good hands.
@@DrOmarDanoun I’m very happy with him. Thank you.
What are really keto diet???
How does one implement a keto diet while on seizure meds, what's the steps, and maybe getting of seizure meds all together
Hi doctor, my name is nethaji 4yrs ago underwent Creniotomy surgery done. I'm taking tab brivanext 100mg per day, regularly but why some time thinking about convulsions will start, I don't know about like this sir please explain the details.

I have general epilepsy with a small spic and I am taking lamactol i feel fatigue and now is affecting my study and I don’t know what to do. I fall twice after starting taking the medication especially I think the medication is high dose for me 600mg but still the doctor wants me to have additional perampanel, so what else can you advise
My doctor has diagnosed me with partial complex seizures even though my 6 EEG tests have all come normal. He claims that I have abnormal electrical activity in the deep brain regions, although I am skeptical due to the clear testing. I have episodes of restlessness, anxiety and twitching of my facial muscles for 6-7hours every once in 3 days. Do you think that I should be on anti elliptic drugs? Should I trust my doctors treatment?
Hello Dr I had few major epilepsy stroke 5yrs back and I am using two type of medicin that is Kepra500 and epival 500 .I have a problem .I met 2 acidents while driving and the reason was that for few seconds I was mently off while driving with open eyes and feel like vomiting .what to do for this
My son is 23 and continues to have a full onset seizure about once every 45 days. His only treatment has been Keppra. He has been diagnosed with JM eat in the past and now it has turned to progressive. Watt particular treatment that you mentioned should we be following? By the way, I can’t thank you enough for such an informative video you gave us parents hope!
I have JME and diet and sleep is VERY important. I just found out i have a gene variation that causes me to be sensitive to glutamates. I increased salts and decrease my glutamates by limiting high glutamate foods like aged cheese and processed foods. You can't avoid glutamates altogether, but you can lower your intake of particularly high foods. Due to my particular gene i also have to add lots of salt to my diet, but always check with your dr before trying that.
Keppra did not help me tho i cant remember if it was ineffective or had bad side effects. My dr has me on a very low dose of clobazam. Appearantly JME gets easier to treat as you age tho doesnt go away completely. My pharmacy sends my meds in dose paks to help me be diligent in taking my doses on time.
I also found GABA related medications can aggravate my seizures. This includes gabapentin and magnolia bark. If your son is on a GABA med you should talk to your dr about the possibility it could be triggering seizures and consider changing meds.
I hope these tips help! My 20s were rough but now im 43 and havent had a seizure in over a year. Keep trying! It can get better i promise!
I’m allergic to several ant-epilepsy medications. My seizures worsened from Keppra.
Does Fasting good or bad while taking Anti Epileptic drugs?
thank you
Hi Doctor I am from India. My son is diagnosed with infatile spasms since 3rd month of his birth. Now he is 5yrs old ,still the spams occurs . There is a global development delay.
Hi . I have done with all the scans Pet sacn , Mri , video eeg. The report of MRI and pet scan were normal but still I am suffering with seizures. Dr. Tells us that moment was on both side of the brain and it can be also because of that I'm a pre mature child. Is it the reason?
Your enthusiasm for improving the quality of life for those with epilepsy, including PNES, is inspiring Doctor.
I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico where we have a teaching hospital at the University of New Mexico. And their neurology department is terrible, in all honesty.
They never provided the results of my EEG results to my neurologist following a suspected hemiplegic migraine which included a seizure. The EEG was in 2022!!
I am planning to make an appointment with you as you are in my insurance network and I am absolutely thrilled to see a medical professional so enthusiastic in helping his patients. Your help can potentially change my life and getting to Detroit to consult with you will be worth every penny.
You are welcome and I will be happy to help

Last week, I missed a dose of Zonisamide one night and had a seizure the next day, which happens every time I do. 2 days ago, I looked at a high refresh rate monitor, which I thought would be good for me, but instead I had a seizure the next morning. I don’t know if it’s because of daily coffee, looking at the monitor for 30 minutes the night before, or stressed about war in Israel. Maybe all?
Thanks the info doc..my baby also hve epelipsy here maintenance is phenobarbital

My name is Rachel in Arizona. I have temporal lobe epilepsy, and have focal seizures, usually. I have had multiple kinds of seizures for 30+ years, having taken many medications, as well. I haven't been told that I am drug resistant, but I consider myself to be that. Recently, my neurologist recommended DBS and RNS. I have tried to learn about these treatments but have found most sources to be repetitive and uninformative. My Dr didn't give me much information to refer to. Please direct me. Thank you. I appreciate your feedback.
