Hi Louis,
I'm sorry to hear you had another seizure yesterday, which again seemed to be a focal seizure. Thankfully, the new medication appears to be working better, and it's wonderful to see you in such a positive mindset!
Your instinct about prolonged iPad use is worth taking seriously and discussing with your doctor. I'm sharing here two documents that might be helpful:
Can Too Much Screen Time Cause Seizures? - My Epilepsy Team

Photosensitivity and Seizures - Epilepsy Foundation
https://www.epilepsy.com/what-is-epilepsy/seizure-triggers/photosensitivity
Have you ever noted screen time as a recurring pattern in your seizure diary? And have you experienced this kind of focal seizure before this new treatment?
Wishing you many restful breaks and lots of laughter!
Chris

Hi Chris!

Thank you so much for the links! I’m sure screen time does play a part but I don’t know how much. I do not have a diary for screen time at the moment. Maybe I should keep one too😄 This seizure is slightly different in a sense it’s milder but still out of the blue. And people may barely notice unless I collapse while standing. I seriously dunno what to make of it. It’s less serious for sure though.

Cheers,
Louis
