How are you and Poppy doing @MellowYellow ?
Thank you for asking, I am doing much better, and fingers crossed Poppy seems much, much better too! No more seizures, no more shaky anxious episodes - and she has started coming back into the living room to be with us in the evenings too! I think this is probably down to the increased medication, but I am also aware that for the last several years she has had a bad spell at the end of December / beginning of January, which then improves over weeks. Why it should be that she has this at this time of year I don't know - the turn of the year, or heightened anxieties around Christmas and New Year maybe? At any rate, long may it last and we are very happy for Poppy and enjoying our evening cuddles with her again.

@MellowYellow , Karen , I was told that seizures are worse when air pressure is either very low or very high . It kind of makes sense to me as Nelly`s recent bad episode was when the air pressure was extremely low, just a thought xxx
That is indeed a thought Kate, I'll keep a track of that in future. Also the phase of the moon (seriously, apparently that can also affect seizures!).

That's interesting.
@MellowYellow , pleased to hear both you and Poppy have seen some improvement.
I wouldn't doubt this at all.

It certainly makes my tinnitus worse at these times.That's interesting.

Poppy had two seizures yesterday evening, the first in seven months. It's been a busy and stressful time with travel to the UK and my daughter, her husband, and our little granddaughter visiting at present (lovely, of course, but still tiring!), and her seizures came just as a big thunderstorm was nearing... She seems ok again now. Fingers crossed she has got it out of her system, she will be undergoing a big operation on her elbow next Wednesday, seizures after that would not be good at all.

Poor Poppy, hope that's it for now and you all have some quiet time 
I’m so sorry @MellowYellow . I hope that’s it for now. Thunder storms are often a trigger aren’t they, I know they used to set off my friend’s dog that has epilepsy.

Jake was epileptic and had to have a hip replacement, he did have a fit when recuperating, but other than that he coped with an op, so I am hopeful for you that Poppy will be fine with her op.

Oh no, my heart sank as soon as I saw this thread pop up at the top of my "new posts" list.

Sorry to read Poppy has had more seizures, and hope all goes smoothly with the op.
