Lost my brother last year due to drinking alcohol and having seizures..😢 we both were diagnosed at the same time...im having trouble keeping a job bc of being an electrician...really dont know what to do at this point. The meds work but sometimes they dont

Where were you when I was diagnosed 😢 I had so little resources. Thank you so much for this; it will help so many people.

Appreciate you taking time, Dr Danoun, to make this video for us lay people. So appreciate your compassion in sharing this latest info for patients everywhere. Very helpful and informative, and a great comfort.

I hope this video gave you clarity on epilepsy. Let's start the treatment journey here by the best 10 tips for seizure control in this video👇 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gM2FgtF72MXPo3k.html

Thank you so much for all your information. My son just received “diagnosis” after 1 seizure 2 years ago (took a friend’s Vyvanse prescription to study) 🤨 we thought that was the reason, then this year in October and November he had a seizure. We received all tests and started Keppra but now we cannot have follow up until March? Kinda feel like we are floating out here. It’s scary to just have to wait. And he is away in college. Keppra seems to be kinda agreeing so far. Your videos and information are invaluable. Neurologist did a quick briefing but by no means did I leave feeling I knew anything my 21 year old was diagnosed with. I can’t recall the word Epilepsy even being used. Thank you, I feel like I’m getting a better grasp on his condition.

Dr. Danoun, thank you for making all this information; I have been learning a lot from them.

So interesting and informative thanks Omar!

I have NSCLC, metastatic lung with 2 brain tumors that i had undergone cyberknife for & currently an untreated brain tumor, awaiting cyberknife therapy. I believe i have seizures. I fall asleep just about anywhere, including bathroom. For some i am partially aware & others that i have no memory of. . No identifiable reason precipitates them. I also fall out of bed & had to put a guard up. These usually happen at night. I have lost entire days with no memory if i am awake or asleep. What seems to be a good educated guess as to what may be happening. Before cancer, i did have 1 similar experience. I was thought to have sleep walked as a child. I believe it was seizures all along. I was thinking complex nocturnal seizures from my limited research & just a guess. If it is the cancer, i cannot receive immunotherapy.. i had a life threatening response to immune therapy for cancer. By the way, i just remembered that the first 2 tumors were bilateral parietal lobe small tumors. Now another is coming back on left parietal lobe. Please advise me as to a type of seizures these are. Thank you very much Doctor.

Thanks 🙏

Thank you Dr. Danoun. I thank you for your time and dedication. These videos are very helpful to me and my child as we try to have the best life possible.

Thank you 🙏🏼

I started getting a funny taste by my mouth and tingling finger tips when I was diagnosed, no family history I do have nf1 with a family history

Thank you Doctor May God bless you

Thanks a lot.

Thank you Doctor Hanging out in the EMU, I've watched most of your videos but am just waiting for an event. :) thanks for helping me understand what going on

my coworker's sister was finally able to carry a baby full term after taking omega III, =which stopped her seizures naturally.

Peace be upon you. You underwent an operation, thank God, and everything was fine, but Lamictal was not taken. I did not feel losing it. I used Trileptal and Keppra. Only the question is, will the new medicine Sinobamate stop seizures? Thank you.

My seizures began almost instantly when I tested positive for COVID it lasted every day that I had the virus then stopped for about 5-6 months before the seizures returned and have been happening for the last 6 months. The MRI has shown a small lesion in my right temporal lobe. And I'll be meeting the neurologist and neurosurgeon next week to likely get some answers, but it's the covid thing I can't get my head around what is it a coincidence? Did COVID cause it? Or was the lesion there before COVID and the virus simply activated something?

Can you please let me know why it is harder to treat for adults? It started as a child in my case, and I am still having them

I have no family history of epilepsy But I do have nf1 my mums side of the family, I started experiencing strange tastes and tingling finger tips before I was diagnosed was first prescribed lamotrogine then keppra then tegretol and clobozam now I’ve been given cenobamate

Inner ear infection as a baby,, and someone else died from focal and grandmal, Scar on Left temple,

The other thing is the question on sleep what can someone on seizure medicine take for sleep because I can be up all night and I get afraid of having a seizure then

I have a question about seizure medications and migraines. I increased my seizure medication (Lamictal) from 75mg to 100 mg and I started getting bad headaches. What causes this?

My son hasn't observed or been aware of a seizure or observed by a friend or family member..diagnosis is based on results of an MRI ..

I had a seizure and an abnormal EEG (generalized spikes, discharges) while still suffering inflammation effects from COVID. Does the COVID make diagnosis of epilepsy difficult?

Am from Kenya and been a victim for the last two years..how do I control

Hello, my friend’s son had a few seizures 2 years ago. Doctor said it was focal tonic clonic. The seizure was well controlled for 1 year after that he started kicking his leg during the night although they increased the medication it didn’t help. Finally after 2 years once when they forgot the medication the boy had a mild tonic clonic seizure. The question is if someone stay in medication for 4 years is it possible that child outgrow from seizure? He is 10 years old now.

I have 2 episode of seizure within 2 months,am on medication, i have done 2 types of tests,everything came back normal, am 47 years old, am very worried

My son has been diagnosed with “absent seizure”, he has been described euthoxsimide but he is having seziures (shakes ) every other week. Is this normal??

Is it safe to consume carbonated beverages , Mineral Water, soda , beer, ECT?

So if a seizure is brought on by an infection, why would they need long-term medicine? Could that not just be treated with antibiotics or is that the new brain structure happening?

Caligula also had epilepsy. I thought it was cured by now?
