About Me
- About vorpalsword60
- Seizure Background
- Left temporal concussion, untreated, at 5 y/o, not long after, occasional classic temporal auras, with increasing incidence as I aged. Without understanding the cause, as a child, I did not know that this did not happen to other children, but in later childhood I learned not to discuss it with other children because it made me different, as a teenager I thought I was "special" and kept it to myself, later helping my sister-in-law with her medical school studies, began to understand. Working as an ambulance EMT, I understood the symptoms, but I thought they were seldom and mild enough to ignore. I my late 40's, due to DAILY, protracted episodes of aura symptoms, I finally got myself treated by a neurologist. I have never had grand-mal that I know of. I am diagnosed as having an "uncomplicated temporal seizure disorder" and am currently taking Keppra 500mg BID.
