So happy to hear you are off AEDs. I hate medicine as there are so many side effects. I know sometimes it is necessary, but still hate, and if there are other therapies that work, that is always better!
I know I’m hurting my heart by struggling with Bipap, but I honestly am trying. Just can’t sleep with the darned thing🥺
However, so good to hear that you are better and bless you dear lady!🌷

Thank you so much for your kind words. What I say to people still struggling with meds and their condition is "Do not give up"!
Learning and studying about epilepsy and exchanging experiences with others were key to getting better and exploring other treatment alternatives.
When will you be at the epilepsy center, I mean the dates?
While you are with Bipap, one thing that can help you is practicing Yoga Nidra. While I had severe insomnia, I practiced it more than once a day and it helped me a lot. I still continue to practice it daily after lunch as I believe it increases my seizure threshold. As I have mentioned in other posts, 30 minutes of yoga nidra can correspond to up to 3 hours of deep sleep. It is a practice, where you lay down on your back on your bed or yoga mat, listen and do this mental relaxation. Give it a try!
Wishing you a beautiful week and stay strong!
