a whole new world for the new year !


ive just been to the neurologist and he was not impressed by my EEG done on 22 so ive just been scheduled for a 5 day ambulatory EEG starting on the 3rd ..

ive now had to stop driving so trying to get use to that
im still awaiting a mri scan

the neurologist was discussing putting me on meds but hes holding off because im only 22 which i couldnt understand
but at the moment im havinig night seizures nearly every night now

im very scared and worried about everything ...driving , meds, and all the tests

nice way to start 2012

The tests are very routine, nothing to worry about. I think it's great that your neurologist is going slowly with regards to medication. Your age may be a factor either because your metabolism is still changing in ways that might affect your seizure threshold, and/or because your neurologist wants to avoid having you on meds for the long term. he may have other reasons -- when in doubt, just ask him! The more information you have, the better.

And have a Happy New Year! We're all in this rockin' boat together.
