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. I fall out of bed, hitting my head. I eat less food to try to keep in shape, I have very stressful situations in my job. I exert high energy lifting heavy weights, plus all other sports.

  2. Stress, heat, poor air flow, changes in air pressure, poor hydration, not eating enough, disturbed steep, anxiety, depression.

    1. Good morning. I retired 1 year ago. This has significantly reduced my stress level. I continue to monitor and balance my triggers. I've found that walking and enjoying nature bring the most peace. I'm also fortunate to have a few close friends who know the challenges I've faced that provide support. I'm looking into whether I would benefit from RNS surgery. I wish you well.

    2. retirement sounds good on you! I also love nature and being outside. I am happy you have support from your friends; that is so important. Please keep us posted on what you decide and how you are doing. Jill (Team Member)

  3. Stress, lack of sleep
