Drumnut Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Two more yesterday, they started about 6:00 in the evening and I slept them off until about 10:00 this morning. I really need to talk to my Dr about switching meds. Lamictal isn't working for me, it's not really even for the type of seizures I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumnut Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Today was good as far as my Epilepsy. Other than that, a few other things sucked today. A day without a seizure is a good day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumnut Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 Good day today so far... Going out to see the Las Vegas Wranglers vs the Utah Grizzlies @ the Orleans Arena tonight, ya' gotta' love it, Hockey in the desert! A frozen playing surface is the closest to ice I ever want to get again! The Wranglers are the local minor league Hockey team, they're actually part of the East Coast Hockey League. (I don't get it either, we're about as far west as you can get) I don't care, drop the puck!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumnut Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Another couple of good days, I'm trying to take better care of myself and stay positive. The favorable decision coming down in my disability case is definitely positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks MM, after all these years of seizures, taking different drugs, MRI's, blood tests, ambulance rides to the hospital, and stays in the hospital, I'm willing to try just about anything. I don't know if I'm a candidate for surgery yet, that's why they're doing the video EEG. They are going to do a CT scan, and an MRI, and the video EEG one after the other so all results are current, those are painless. If I'm not a candidate, at least I'll know I've explored all options. Now that I'm on disability, medicare picks up the cost so there's no pain there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can move on about 4 hours of sleep (give or take). So, they tried 5 hours & I warned them that this may not cause that issue. So, the neuroligist had nothing else & told me to tell my PCP whom I told in the first place which how I got the referral. It is very possible that this is true. Problem is this & trying to get more answers to what I think is Post-concussive Syndrome, is impossible with my doctor's office. My sister hit the back of her head & went into a seizure like convulsion. I was scared as hell. I can't imagine having that on a recurring basis.
