Hi my name is Amanda. I had my first seizure this year (July 2020) at 39 years old. Start meds in October after a seizure while on the treadmill. I haven’t had a seizure since starting my meds (touching wood), only had funny moments in my head followed by nothing (thankfully). I am currently on sickness leave from job (administrator) and received a promotion earlier in the year; studied and passed exams but I now have no memory of the new role, so so tired all of the time, memory short and Long term not great, struggling reading long paragraphs of text and my handwriting is not as good as it was, I miss letters out of words and write letters the wrong way round at times. I have purchased a gratitude journal to help me along the way too. I know it’s me that needs to control the epilepsy and not the other way round but it difficult at times.
If anyone has experienced anything similar and any advice on when and what is best to do when returning to work I would be very grateful.
