RE: [epilepsy] Re: Triggers



Hi Mylmy

The problem is it's nice to do things you like and suffer
the consequences afterwards, I like a drop of beer but my
doctor told me that alcohol can trigger a sz so it's down to
common sense. You just try and avoid the triggers if
possible.

Steve,

I don't understand why you continued to play tennis if you
knew that breathing hard would bring on a sz.
