Most everyone who has seizures knows…memory loss can be a brutal side effect from both the seizures themselves and the anti-epileptic medications.

The Portuguese actress in the UK who was attempting an epileptic seizure as art, failed in her attempt. Now the failure is attracting about as much attention as the attempt itself.

I had a miserable weekend. I think I had a total of 16 seizures this weekend, after not having a single episode for probably six or seven weeks. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t fooling myself. I didn’t exactly think I was ‘cured’…but up until Saturday morning when this onslaught of seizures began, I was feeling pretty good!

All of the anti-seizure medications don’t work for you, surgery has not been successful…you are still not seizure-free. How do you continue to live a happy life?

Clemson sophomore football player Stanley Hunter is a great example of someone who realized that despite his epilepsy, he could continue to participate in other ways in the sport he loves.

Without a doubt, it’s one of the most difficult issues to deal with as an adult with epilepsy: the inability to drive. But there are options for those who live with the condition. But you must put forth the effort.
