Epilepsy Tracker
Track your epilepsy symptoms, identify personal triggers, and gain AI-powered insights to better manage your condition.
Understanding Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a neurological condition that causes recurrent seizures - sudden bursts of electrical activity in the brain that can affect how you act, move, or feel. About 1 in 26 people will develop epilepsy at some point in their lives, making it one of the most common neurological disorders.
But here's the thing - epilepsy isn't just about the seizures themselves. You're probably dealing with medication side effects, sleep disruption, mood changes, and the constant worry about when the next seizure might hit. And while your neurologist focuses on seizure control, you might be noticing patterns they're missing. Maybe your seizures happen more when you're stressed, or after certain foods, or when your sleep gets messed up. That's where tracking comes in - it helps you identify your personal triggers so you can work with your doctor to get better control.
Common Symptoms to Track
Common symptoms to track (and their severity matters for spotting patterns):
- Seizures (focal, generalized, absence - track type, duration, triggers)
- Auras or warning signs before seizures
- Post-seizure confusion or fatigue
- Memory problems or brain fog
- Mood changes (depression, anxiety, irritability)
- Sleep disturbances
- Headaches
- Medication side effects (dizziness, nausea, weight changes)
- Fatigue or low energy
- Concentration difficulties
How to Track Epilepsy
Seizure logging is crucial - note the type, duration, what you were doing beforehand, and how you felt after. Mouth To Gut's voice logging is perfect for this since you can quickly record details right after a seizure when writing might be difficult.
Track your sleep religiously - sleep deprivation is a major seizure trigger for most people. Log your bedtime, wake time, sleep quality, and any disruptions. The app's sleep tracking helps you see if there's a pattern between poor sleep and seizure frequency.
Monitor stress levels daily - stress is another huge trigger. Rate your stress from 1-10 and note what's causing it. You might discover that work deadlines or family conflicts consistently spike your seizures.
Log medications precisely - track when you take them, if you miss doses, and any side effects. This is especially important if you're adjusting dosages or trying new meds. Upload your EEG results and bloodwork to track how your levels change over time.
Food and drink matter too - some people find certain foods or alcohol can trigger seizures. The photo logging feature makes it easy to snap your meals and spot dietary patterns.
Don't forget the basics - track your mood, energy levels, and any hormonal changes (especially if you menstruate, as hormones can affect seizure patterns).
Mouth To Gut makes it easy to log all of this in one place - and the AI finds patterns you'd never spot on your own. It might discover that your seizures happen 70% more often when you get less than 6 hours of sleep AND your stress is above a 7.
