can epilepsy get worse around the equinoxes and solstices?

Question

is there any anecdotal evidence, or studies to support this? Or your personal experience?

Answer 1

No.

Answer 2

There is no reputable study to support any physiological or psychological phenomena with the equinoxes or solstices.

There have been, of course, many studies that associate phenomena with the seasons ("seasonal affective disorder," risk factors for schizophrenia, flu season, etc). There was even a few studies on the association between the phases of the moon and the number of ER visitors (the results have been equivocal). None, however, have been related to those specific four days of the year.

Answer 3

those transformations are very heavily a sinusoidal progression, the position the sunlight's glaring action variations fastest at the same time as crossing the equator (on the time of the equinoxes), and variations slowest on the cases of the peaks of the progression, the position the action contained in the north-south route actual stops and reverses. this is purely one in all many stuff in nature which follows that form of progression. Your statement is nice, although.

Answer 4

Whereas an epileptic's seizure-ratio can
be due to their surroundings, there is no
solid evidence to suggest that equinoxes,
solar eclipses, full moons or the changing
of seasons--such as summer solstice--
can trigger (or worsen) seizures.

Best of health & good luck.

Answer 5

There is no proof to that, but it is possible.

There are a lot of things that we do not know about seizure. For example, some dogs can warn you 5-10 minutes before a seizure.

Answer 6

Your question is CAN it. --- Yes it can. It doesn't have to however.

Epilepsy is tied to neural paths and chemical imbalances in the brain. --- Neither of those two things is affected by the position of the stars and planets...

Answer 7

No, there is no reason for this to happen. But anxiety about the possibility of more attacks certainly won't help.
