I have been having a tingling sensation in
my hands and sometimes my feet for the
past several days. I take depakote and
dilantin for my seizures and had to go off
of my dilantin for about 4 days last week.
During that time is when it started.
May be nothing, but just very curious and
always concerned.

Have you talked to the neuro about this
happening? While tingling can be a part
of some simple partial seizures, it can be
many other things also.
I am really concerned that you missed 4
days of dilantin last week....I guess it
could be related to that or that would
lower your threshold to have seizures
too...
I would ask the doctor. When there are
new things going on. (i do not have
epilepsy, my kids do. I do have tingling
in hands and occasionally legs from
scoliosis, at time....)
it is aggravating.
I hope you get it figured out soon.

Thanks for e-mailing me. I have talked
to several people in the medical
profession and they have said that it is
anxiety. They said that you get anxiety
and you won't even know it; thank goodness
it has gotten better and almost
completely gone.
I did start taking my dilantin again last
week but had another seizure friday and
haven't gotten the blood level results
back yet. You said your kids have
epilepsy...I am so sorry. My child saw
me have a seizure for the first time last
week and I think it hurt me more just
because she was there and saw it.
Thanks again and I will be praying for you
and your family.

Hi have faith!
Thanks for the prayers. It has been
a challenge having one child with
epilepsy. It really tested my faith when
my older child was diagnosed! We do know
that all things do work together for good
and have persevered.
I am sure it was hard knowing your
kids saw your seizure. They will be
strong through it all. Kids are amazingly
resilliant and do learn compassion when
their parents have health issues. Mine
have seen me through mine.
Hoping that the dilantin is a big
help for you. I hope the tingling eases
up!
