Hi @kim721
It sounds like stress and poor sleep may well have played a role in last Sunday's seizure.
I can share from my own experience: once I became more attentive to my triggers and learned to respect my body's limits, I was able to reduce my seizure frequency without needing to increase my medication.
If I understood your message correctly, you haven't yet seen a neurologist — is that right? My strong advice would be to seek care from a neurologist with extensive experience in epilepsy, or ideally an epileptologist — it can help you find answers and a treatment plan that actually works best for you!
Wishing you all the best with your upcoming appointment — and please do keep me posted.
Chris
