Do you know what triggers your seizures?

Do you know what triggers your seizures?

What triggers your seizures may be different than what triggers someone else's. Share your seizure trigger(s) with the community.

  1. No

  2. No

  3. I really don’t know

  4. Loud noises, strong odors, that I’m not used to or are really strong and will make me sick, being startled by someone or something that I wasn’t expecting. (I wear sound proof earphones at work to block out loud sounds.

    1. I’ve been doing pretty good. Work has been changing a lot since I’ve been back, we have had a lot of bosses come and go, a lot of jobs we did are no longer there, so it’s been hard for me to get my new boss to let me do the other jobs I know how to do. They think I can only do one certain job, but they are slowly realizing I know how to a lot of the other jobs.
      I just can’t handle the loud noise is all.
      Then Tuesday I had to come home early because of my head hurting and I almost went down because of a seizure, but I caught it before it went full blown, I didn’t chance it and going to work yesterday because it was still bothering me really bad. I have this issue where I will start smelling something burning and it gives me a really bad headache and it then turns into a full blown migraine and it can knock me into my seizures as well.

    2. I am glad your job has been realizing that you can handle other responsibilities as well. It sounds like Tuesday was a close call, I am happy to hear you caught it before it was full blown. I wish you didn't have the burning smelling sensation, but it sounds like it is a sign that lets you know before you have a seizure. Please keep us posted with how you are doing. Jill (Team Member)
