Sleepless nights. Exhausted afternoons. Confusion. Memory loss. Trouble with concentration, mood swings and of course, seizures.
Which may increase in frequency or severity. Or may even contribute to intractable seizures. It seems like an endless cycle.
For people with epilepsy, sleep problems are a double-edged sword; epilepsy disturbs sleep and sleep deprivation aggravates epilepsy.
The fear, the anxiety, the anticipation of another seizure.
Coupled with the dread that you won’t be able to tell. When it’s coming. IF it’s coming.
The triggers, the reasons, the causes.
Peace of mind is difficult to come by for — you and for your loved ones.
It’s worry all the time. Every day. Does it always have to be this way?
