Confused
Hi…I’m new here. I’m diagnosed with intractable epilepsy by MRI and symptoms. Lately my seizures have been getting worse. I am aware for all of them no matter which type I have. But lately it’s like someone flips a switch and I get completely disoriented. The aura comes first. Then I go into the stare for a minute or so. After that my whole body stiffens and I lean to the right. Then I start convulsing. I have an app to log my seizures but it’s just frustrating because I don’t know the name of the seizure to log! So I just put either convulsive or non convulsive. Does anyone know of an app that I can put in more details of the seizures? Thanks! 🧠👊💜
Thank you for the reply and the information! It was really helpful! I see my neurologist November 30th and plan on asking what type of seizure she thinks it is. I’m gonna download that app and try it. I just want to be able to keep track of all the different things that happen during the seizure. Thanks again 🧠💜
