A member asked:

Some nights u go to sleep halfway during the night my legs go stiff and i can not feel them how can i fix it what is wrong with me?

Leg stiffness: I see you suffer from seizures, you did not mention what meds you take, this can be a side effect or recurrent seizures, this needs to be evaluated by your neurologist.
