A couple other possibile reasons for my brain issues
I have had focal aware seizures all my life, and in December, I got COVID again. I have had 3 different types of COVID since this all began. It turns out that COVID can cause new-onset seizure activity or worsen existing seizure activity...No, I am not vaccinated. I have autoimmune disorders that make vaccinations more dangerous for me.
I won't be able to know for sure until I am 65 years old and get insurance, but it is a little hopeful to think this could be caused by something else besides dementia. 🤷♀
I guess I may have jumped to a conclusion, thinking it was dementia (I may not have too), because I am older. Still, I am only going to be 60 years old this month, and my grandfatehr that got dementia was in his 70's when he got it.🤷♀
In any event, many of the things I am doing to possibly slow down dementia will also help with seizure activity, and since I would probably develop dementia anyway, starting now with the steps I am taking to help with that is a good idea, I think.🤔
Just some random thoughts I had on this..

When I had covid it triggered a siezure for me as well. When I was younger I had petite mals that could last days, but sort of grew out of them over the years to the point I didn't need meds anymore. The seizure lasted for days and all i could do was try to sleep it off. Eventually did. No seizures since. Was not prepared with how much stress covid would levy on me to trigger that.
@JessmariOh, I am really really sorry you went through that.😔 This stuff is so strange, and it seems like people have so many different reactions to this. I am glad you were able to sleep through it and that you have not had a seizure since then. I am finally feeling a bit better myself. I hope both of us are through the worst of it.🤗
