    Hey Lorrie, just read my message from you - my sense of humour is something that no-one's gonna take from me....it's my lifeblood, and glad I can share it with others.

    I hope you're doing well

    Hey Lorrie,

    Thanks for the prayer....it worked. I slept like a baby last night - out for the count, and slept aaallllll the way through to the alarm (which I haven't done for loooong time)....completely seizure free too <phew>

    Boy oh boy, how the world's a different place when you've had your kip

    Good to hear you've been doing well on the new meds Lorrie <thumbs up>.....unfortunately for me I've taken a turn for the worse since Sunday night. I was thinking too much about the new job, and couldn't get to sleep. So what happens when an epileptologist doesn't get enough sleep ?....yep, I had a seizure !..damn things....and so I had one on Monday night, one on Tuesday night. I just pray I can get some rest tonight...lol

    Im so happy Ive had no seizures this monthly crossing my fingers i also think the atkins diet is helping since ive been on it Ive felt better taking my tegretol before it made me sick! and now i can take my meds and feel just a lil tired but am not feeling ill like before WOOT! btw if i could i would bring you to the states I don't have my real estate license. I was doing the advertising for the office and worked with the realtors. I would love to study for my license its around $800. to spendy right now and right now i don't think anything would sell

    Glad to hear you're better now Lorrie. I didn't know you were into real estate though ?....get me a place over there - I'll be on the next flight...lol

    I'm doing okay at the moment. I haven't had a seizure for 2 weeks, although when I went to bed last night, I did feel palpitations when I was breathing, and was wondering if I was having a real tiny seizure, as things just didn't seem 'right' if you know what I mean....and Today I have been pretty tired all day, even though I still went to the gym - actually felt better when I got going on the weights and the bike.

    I'm feeling a little anxious at the moment, as I'm starting that new job Tomorrow. So it'll be like being the new kid at school again. I just hope they're a nice bunch of people....unlike the moron I was working for in my last place. The job is a bit further away than my last one, so I'll be sat in traffic for about 40 minutes each way, compared to the usual 10-15 mins I was driving in the past. But if it gets me happiness at the end of the journey I'd much rather do the extra miles

    So, fingers crossed for tomorrow, and an early nights sleep for me tonight.

    I hope things get better for you. It'll be great if you can get to the stage where you can go and get a job - my 2 weeks at home seemed like a lifetime to me.

    I never did start taking the herbs .. ended up in the ER they put me back on everything the klonopin helps relax the muscle spasms, and is a long acting anxiety med. So im ok now I would like to take the non genaric Tegretol its $88. at walmart. Im hoping to start looking for work soon. then ill switch i went to a wedding yesterday and all my real estate friends were there friends who i havent seen in about a year where there !! it was such fun to see them all again i miss them... Ive been thinking maybe getting my real estate license would be a good idea.. maybe it would be cheaper right now lol

    how are you doing this week?

    Hi Lorrie,

    I quit on that Herbal stuff as I think the only REAL difference it was making was a dent in my bank balance...lol

    I tend to get a bit nervy with all this herbal stuff too, as it's a bit like going on anti-depressants....are they working, or is it me BELIEVING they are working. So I came off it, and to be honest haven't noticed a difference.

    I'm still taking the Tegretol, and Frisium (at nights), plus a side-dose of Magnesium and Vitamin B-Complex to control the 'relaxation' side of things.

    Things are definitely looking up with this little 'cocktail' as although I'm still having the darn things, they only tend to occur in small batches, or even just single ones, maybe once every fortnight ?....so, it's definitely better than they used to be.

    How are you these days ?...drop me a PM if you ever need to talk
