Sore body- calves like you're cramping up after 30 minutes of extra time. Neck and shoulders, and a badly bitten tongue making swallowing difficult. Mainly knackered, but quite pleased with how well I'm recovering. Couple of days and should be fine, except for driving of course. Whether it was due (at least in part) to stress etc, who knows. Stress and lack of sleep are known triggers for latent seizures so highly possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 12, 2023 Site Supporter Share Posted August 12, 2023 I was just about to post about this, and just seen yours. Tiredness definitely contributes, I know I felt utterly shite when the lad was new born and sleep was affected. Been more of a struggle to recover from this last one- may have caused some sort of nerve damage to my tongue, been more knackered and pressure/headaches. Improving slowly though. A kick in the teeth though having been fine since I've been settled on medication. Dunno if anyone has any info via friends or relatives as to whether diet can be used to help control them. Lost weight recently too which should help, but that's life I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the standard treatment by any means, but seems to suit me. Was sorted by Psychiatry dept. Tried epilim which was meh to say the least, then was put on topiramate, which was disastrous. Came off immediately. Pregabalin usually used for nerve pain and as a top up for epilepsy meds, but seems to work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a fair bit of research that shows the ketogenic diet to help but as the article says you should take advice from an epilepsy bod https://epilepsysociety.org.uk/about-epilepsy/treatment/ketogenic-diet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel wobbly/dizzy, tired and lethargic. Low mood in the morning, easing a bit as the day goes on. Tight shoulders and neck, with "pressure" on the bonce, and "bouncing" behind the eyes. Twitching muscles too. Does get better but it's a twat. Keep well clear of alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
