[epilepsy] Re: cold weather

 

Hi Wendy,

I live near Chicago, its cold here during the winter!!! I would be outside allot, waiting for buses, trains, having to then walk 15 minutes to and from work. I would be outside no matter what the temperature was. Even below 0 with strong winds I had to get to and from work. I would even go out for winter walks to reduce stress! The cold Chicago winters, being outside didn't increase my seizures at all. Come to think of it, I had few seizures outside during the winter as compared to spring summer and fall (smile). So, I wouldn't worry about the cold winter bringing on seizures. Take care, keep a smile on your face!

Bears win! Bears win! Bears win! Bears win! Bears win!

Neither on other friends who I know dealing with seizures. Stress can play a really big role in them though. I did send you a emaail, but let me know if you get it ok?? My complex has over 100 people here and only 7 are disabled people. The seniors get all the attention they want . When we ask for help or have something need to be fixed we are always put on hold. So it makes me stressed out and I do it myself lol! Also socializing with other people away from here keeps me active and relaxed.
