Hi i’m kendra and I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 15 years old. I’m 20 now and I guess I downloaded this app is to find people who have gone through similar issues I have since finding out I have epilepsy.

@signature_sauce Do you know what type of epilepsy you have?
@kennys25 how are you doing with it now and do you have any issues with your meds?
Have you thought about switching meds to see if it works?
Keppra does the same thing to me but when i tried switching i had a seizure on the trial meds they put me on so I switched back. It is really frustrating not always being able to remember things or forgetting things that i’ve just discussed with someone, but it works so I just kind of deal with it haha. Plus i’ve been too scared to try & switch again just because I might have a seizure.
Keppra has been helping, but its also been severely affecting my short term memory and focus. I don't know why I was taken off meds because I was too young to really remember
I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 4, and my seizures have recently started flaring up again
@LunaLover How long were they under control before they started flaring up again?
@kennys25 honestly, they kind of just randomly stopped with no meds. It was kind of weird. Then last year they flared up again about ten days after I got my second covid shot and after that I was put on Keppra
