I Can Drive!!! Woot!!

well, kinda my neurologist today told me i can drive as long as hubby is in the car with me for three months then we will go from there!!!!! & yes I had the lecture... which i totally agree with if i dont feel right dont drive

because my seizures are mostly around my ms im not to drive around that time If I'm feeling auras and have to up my keppra 250mg until my monthly is over......

I haven't driven yet though because I've been tired.... he told me to take little baby steps..... thats fine with me ....... ALSO! wants me to take magnesium up to 1000mg is that right Robin? he just told me to start taking it not really how much... and he wants me to up my multi vit intake to two pills ...

I'm happy!!!!!

Now that is great news Angel. I am so excited for you. What a breath of fresh air for the new year.
As with anything the magnesium should be brought up slowly. There are very evident ways to tell if you are overdoing it. I suspect your doctor told you what to watch for.

no he didn't? I took 400mg tonight he actually told me that he doesn't think you can overdose on magnesium that he wasn't sure in other words i should do some research myself... at the time the office was really busy! he and I were discussing driving, & safety etc, and ways to help my energy level... were talking about my dystonia & menstrual cycle epilepsy a lot hair falling out depression... I hit him with a few questions...

CONGRATS!

Just remember this advice!
Pay close heed to those vehicles
that have bumper stickers that says
"IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY I
DRIVE - STAY OFF THE SIDEWALK!"
