Tbi

Hi community!

I never had seizures as a kid but in my late forties I started having them at work I thought it was stressed related but now fifty I had a seizure and hit the right side of my head which left me paralyzed on my left side and now I have a tonic clonic seizures and I have a TBI with therapy. I'm doing better but don't know why it happens I have no triggers doctors don't know why what to do???

  1. Hi there! So sorry to hear this. Please know, this epilepsy community is here for you. Our best recommendation would be for you to check with your doctor and/or seek a second opinion to further understand exactly what is happening. It isn't uncommon to be diagnosed with epilepsy later in life, actually one of our Patient Leaders was diagnosed at age 50. If you'd like to read her story for perspective and insight, you can visit this link: https://epilepsydisease.com/living/diagnosis-fear

    I hope this helps! Warmly, Kailah (Team Member)
