I have gran mal seizures and take Dilatins before bed.
So far Ive had about 10 seizures a month. Does anyone know how many you have to have before you'll get accepted for social security? Ive tried for a good 8yrs, even w/a lawyer, and was told that I dont have enough seizures. Is that true?

If you are on Dilantin and having that many Grand Mal seizures - find another lawyer and also another Doctor - obviously they do not have you on the right dosage. I know two people who have seizures - one of whom is on Social Security Disability - because with the Medicine she still has Petit Mal Seizures (smaller ones). Also from the seizures she originally had a head trauma and does not concentrate or make as much sense when she talks as she used to ( she is slower and sometimes starts talking in the middle of a thought). The other person has major Grand Mal seizures lasting over 20 min's and then he is in the hospital for days recovering when his meds are stopped or changed etc... But he is not eligible for Disability because his seizures are controlled if he stays on the meds.
Get another Doctor to look at you also since your seizures are not being controlled by your medicines. Something has to be adjusted obviously.

If you are still having that many seizures, you don't have your medication or dosages right yet. My husband has Epilepsy, seizure disorder. He takes two anti-seizure meds. three times a day, every day. He might have one seizure a month some times he doesn't have a seizure for months. You can only get SSDI if you cannot work. If you can even with the disorder you can't get SSDI at all. My husband has a good job, I drive him where he needs to go. He does not have a dr. lic. never has had one.

If the dogs fell off the sink, then had the seizure, it really is an illustration of a head damage. in the journey that your dogs is weak to seizures, for heaven's sake take her to the vet. they could do an rather ordinary blood attempt to be certain if she is epilectic or no longer, and if she is they could prescribe medicine for her. maximum seizure meds are fantastically a lot low-priced, so for you to not have a huge invoice. And foaming on the mouth is amazingly elementary with seizures. even as she's doing that, ascertain she is on her area or upright so as that she does no longer have the froth or saliva aspirated into her lungs.

it all depends on your state/country you live in. also, if it interfers with daily livings such as work or school or childcare- they you may qualify. talk to your doctor regarding this. he or she may know a few ways around the social security laws. good luck.
