Hello everyone I am new here and live with CP my whole life

Hi I'm Meg I also have a seizure disorder and CP, but I have been seizure free for a long time. I don't mean to be nosy but are you on any medication for your seizures?

Hi Meg yes I am on Keppra for my sezures. Take one twice a day and you

@Leah58 Depakote 3 tablets a day. It sounds like you should talk to your doctor because if you’re still having seizures the medication is not doing what it should be doing hang in there.

Meg I still have them now and then and used to be on Depakote before Keppra. They are not as often as they once were.I have gran mall sezures and smaller ones at times. I am glad that yours are under control. Did they tell you why you have yours,? They never fully understood why I have mine. Deannie

@Leah58 Seizure disorders are not uncommon in people like you and me I’m surprised they didn’t know that.

Hi Meg. They have suggested that it may be due to my having CP. I often get asked when taken to the hospital after a sezure do I have epilepsy. Deannie

Welcome to the group. I'm sorry to hear that. I have a seizure disorder. I have Complex Partial Seizures. I have had Epilepsy for twenty two years. I wonder how often do you have seizures? Usually when you have two unprovoked seizures, the doctors diagnose you with Epilepsy.

@staringinthestars I don’t have them as often as I used to. The last one was couple of months ago so my medication is working pretty good so far. Deannie
