		<description><![CDATA[Answer by Nicholas Poolos, MD If you are asking this because you&#8217;re actually getting strenuous exercise on a regular basis… then good for you! Getting your heart rate up with vigorous physical activity is an important part of being healthy, and having epilepsy shouldn&#8217;t be a limitation to exercise.

		<description><![CDATA[Answer by Nicholas Poolos, MD Whether or not a physician is required by law to report a patient with uncontrolled seizures to the motor vehicle bureau varies by state. Only six states at present are &#8220;reporting&#8221; states. Oregon is one of them, but Washington State is not. In both Oregon and Washington, anyone who has had a loss of consciousness [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Answer by John W. Miller, MD, PhD Although many people with epilepsy find that their seizures are affected by sleep, different individuals have very different patterns. Some only have seizures during sleep; some only have them when they are awake. It’s also not unusual for seizures to be stronger if they happen during sleep. People with some types of epilepsy [...]]]></description>

Vossler, M.D. Here are just some of the way for you and your healthcare provider to help you save money on antiepileptic medications (AEDs): Use the largest pill size available – multiple small pills cost lots more than one large pill Get a pill cutter at your pharmacy and cut large pills in half (if that [...]]]></description>

DTP immunizations have a 2 &#8211; 3 fold increase in seizures on the day of immunization and MMR has a slight increase in seizures 1 &#8211; 2 weeks after immunization. It is the recommendation that all patients with [...]]]></description>
