Re: [epilepsy] Triggers

 

Hi Jennifer,

Temperature changes can trigger seizures. That is why seizures often happen during showers. Wearing rubber gloves or changing the water temperature may help. Take care.

Hi Jennifer, That is different at least one I have not heard of. I guess
this dishwashing is shortly after eating? Do you keep a food chart to cross
reference with your seizure chart?

On another note; Is the water HOT, if so maybe Chlorine vapors? Wonder if
gloves might work? So many variables. We notice our daughter has more SZ'z
when she swims and when bathing. Now we fill the tub hot and make her wait a
few minutes before jumping in so as the water cools some of the chlorine
dissipates before she is allowed into the bathroom. I'd like to hear more or
updates from you as you seek to control this and what may help.

My son is 13 and has mixed seizures. He seems to have more seizures when he
is washing the dishes. Is this a trigger? Is this common?

Thanks.
