Living, Working, and Dating with Adult Onset Epilepsy

This month on Seizing Life®, Kelly speaks with fellow podcaster Landis Wiedner about her journey with adult onset epilepsy after being diagnosed at the age of thirty-two. Landis Wiedner’s first two seizures led to the discovery of a brain tumor and a subsequent surgery to remove it. Weeks later, while recovering and undergoing radiation, Landis experienced another seizure and was ultimately diagnosed with epilepsy, likely due to scar tissue from her surgery. On this episode of Seizing Life®, Landis shares her epilepsy journey, describes how the condition impacted her busy life, and explains how a stay in an epilepsy monitoring unit led to a life-changing medication change. Landis also shares her experiences dating with epilepsy, and details with humor the various strategies she tried before determining that honesty was the best approach. She explains how a lack of resources for adult onset epilepsy, combined with a relative’s challenges with epilepsy, and her own personal experiences led her to create the What The Ef podcast and its recent IRL offshoot The Otherside Lounge, a pop up community concept for people living with epilepsy. Finally, Landis offers her advice for others living with adult onset epilepsy. ABOUT CURE EPILEPSY CURE Epilepsy is the leading, non-governmental funder of epilepsy research.
