Epilepsy and Dyspraxia

Post by loulou »

Does anybody else have epilepsy and dyspraxia? Im not formally diagnosed as dyspraxic yet but am looking into it and seem pretty certain i have it.

I just wondered what other peoples experiences were with having both conditions and if they found one effected the other. I started with the seizures (not convulsions) in my teens and it seemed to make things worse with the dyspraxia type symptoms I have. My doctors blamed the seizures for my problems with stairs and walking etc as they said because I was having the seizures I was just worried about having them all the time and my problems were psychological. They ignored me when I constantly told them I had problems long before the epilepsy and that I physiacally couldn't do soem activities but then thats doctors for you ](*,) .

If anyone has experience with this or even just know anything about how the two problems mix I'd love to hear about it.
