Lupus and Epilepsy
Sun, 12/17/2006 - 15:24Topic: Women With Epilepsy
Hi! :)
Does anyone out there have both Epilepsy and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (S.L.E.)?
I was diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy and Right Frontal Lobe Epilepsy approximately three months ago and have now been diagnosed with Lupus.
I was just wondering if anybody out there has both and if so, how their Lupus affects their Epilepsy?
Thanks!

What meds are you taking for your epilepsy. I was taking Dilantin witch gives a false postitive on the ANA test, Ask you Dr to change your meds or ask them if you have Medication Induces Lupus. Try to get Lupus off you med records if you can. Because soon as they see you have it . You will be tested for everything. You will become a human guinea pig. Good Luck.
