Happy Holidays!

It is that time of year once again!  It is hard to believe the holidays are upon us once again!  I hope you are enjoying yourselves with family and friends.  This should be a joyous time of celebration for all.

Seizure Triggers

Pardon my not having posted anything for over ten days.  I went on a family vacation in Hawaii for the past week and just returned a few days ago.

The vacation was very pleasant.  We did many special activities, including seeing an Ulalena show, a history of the Hawaiian people in song and dance.  We also went to a luau and tried out many restaurants, sampling traditional Hawaiian foods.

However, there was one major thing about the stay in Hawaii that was inconvenient at best, and unbearable at its worst.  The weather was nothing like I have experienced in a long time.  Not only was it hot, it was extremely humid!

The heat and humidity got so bad that, during lunch one day, it caused me to have a cluster of seizures.  This made me realize how careful I had to be and to try to keep cool and hydrated.  Obviously, heat is a seizure trigger for me.
