About Me
- About seizuregirl
- Seizure Background
- I thought that I've had epilepsy for about 6-7yrs, Only to look back with my father & realize that I've had them since early childhood, but went undiagnosed since all of the medical attention was on my Twin's Cerebral Palsy & Hydrocephaly.
I was working for 11 years with them and was diagnosed while working there, and kept on working. I had one at work & came out of it sitting in a puddle of my own urine, I quit 2 days later lol. I've never been aware that I've had one, unless I've loss control of my bladder. I've been on at least 10 different meds, in which not one has been able to stop them.
I had brain surgery to remove 3cm's from my hippo campus and 6cms from my right front temporal lobe to hopefully stop them, only to find out a few weeks later that it didn't work when I had a Grand Mal, and I've been having unnamed seizures along with 1 or 2 grand mal's here and there. And because of the surgery, I now have a severe loss of short-term memory - Treatments
- Lamotrigine 150mg twice a day, carbamazepine 300mgs twice a day
- Location
- Duluth, MN
- Interests
- I knit, sketch & love to read mysteries
