Hi Patrick, intense light can cause photosensivity (sp?). That is why you became dizzy. You cannot take bright lights.

Sorry, that happened.

When I came on this morning, Phylis, it has my email address and my user name. WordPress knows who I am. I can see that will not be a problem.

How do I change my gravatar? It has down the one I have now. I pressed on it to change my picture and nothing happened. I would love to change it. How did you put your picture in. I am sure it will be the same way. I hope that I am not complainping.

Skip the Facebook, etc. stuff on the bottom. I think you just have to give your name, write in epilepytalk.com and say yes, you want to subscribe. at the bottom of your reply. Or just go to the home page to the bottom where it says “manage your your subscriptions.” If you fill that out, I believe you’ll be an active subscriber.

Candi, is that what you did?

P.S. A Gravatar is a picture…like you have on the other sites.

I have a common one nowadays. Below, where it says leave a reply, it wants me to log in. I have no memory of my password or username.

It also has Gravatar below that. Phylis, what is a Gravatar. What is WordPress doing to us now? When I finished it gave me my username and email address. I do not remember what my password is, if I have to log in.

Ok Patrick, now stop bragging!

I had a friend who once sent me a card (which I still have hanging over my desk) saying: “No one has to tell you when it’s right!”

Obviously, you got it right. 10 cups of coffee and all!!!

Excellent.

Hope the rest of you who are still kissing frogs, trying to find your magic med mix, are as lucky…

Carbatrol has been a perfect med for me: I had two seizures seven years ago, related to working late and inadequate sleep, but none since starting Carbatrol.

In two other instances, related to intense light, I became dizzy and disoriented, but stepped away from the glare, leaned against support with eyes shut, breathing deeply and recovered without dropping into seizure.

BTW, I’ve been drinking 10 cups of dark roast coffee a day for decades with no noticeable effects.

The bottom line is, LESS STRESS!

Adrenaline is a central nervous system neurotransmitter that is released by neurons. The release of adrenaline can be linked with seizures. And during seizures a lot of adrenaline is released.

While individuals in forums on sites such as Epilepsy.com raise questions about adrenaline as a cause of seizures, the Mayo Clinic’s site does not list adrenaline specifically as a known cause. However, health sites, like Epilepsy Action, state stress can trigger a seizure, which then can result in large amounts of adrenaline releasing into the body.

SLOW DOWN KARA!
