I had two grand mal seizures last year in September following about a year of partial seizures which I didn't know were seizures at the time. Right now I'm taking 2500 mg of Keppra a day, and the Keppra has worked well with preventing seizures. I started out on only 500 a day, but increase if I have any issues with partial seizures.
Anyway, I've been having issues with extreme fatigue, weakness in legs, and periodic ringing in ears. The weakness in legs doesn't significantly impact the way I walk, but it does make it harder, and in my senior year of track I ran a second slower in the 100 than usual and the coach noticed I was running significantly off balance. With the fatique, I'm usually really tired after noon. This again doesn't prevent my daily functions, but it makes things harder.
I'm seeing a epilepsy specific neurologist who can answer this, but I want to see what people here think. I fear I may have MS, but my current neurologist says I would have had lesions on my MRI if I did. I think this because extreme fatique and weakness and legs are the most common MS symptoms, and seizures are an uncommon but possible symptom. Keppra also has these side effects, but I don't know the extremities or how common they are. The weakness in legs started after being in meds, but I've had issues with fatigue prior, although not as extreme.
