I went to my appointment this morning with the psych dr. Told her everything from the state of when I was dx with epilepsy, and what took place during my VEEG, etc.
After she asked questions about my life, like if I had any stresses with my daily life, or any mental illnesses, etc.
After telling her I live a pretty good life, not being full of any kind of bad stresses that I could see causing seizures, being a stay at home mom of three little boys, two of which are in full time school, one still stays home with me during the days. I have a ton of family supporting me, which she said is very good to have. I told her the dr was wanting me to have a grand mal seizure, which never occured, but still showed epilepsy on the VEEG. Thats why I was put back on the Keppra XR. The seizures i experienced were different from the complex partial seizures Ive had before. I did bring up that Ive heard that having simple partial seizures could be too deep within the brain to detect on a EEG. She said she has heard of that too.
She said I seem to be a overall balanced person who doesnt appear to have a stressful life in her eyes. She said if I ever have any stresses in my life that may affect me having seizures to call her.
I told her that ive gone with being slowly weaned off of them and being totally off my medications for 10 days before I had a seizure. this time, I was taken off cold turkey.
She really didnt have much to say after that.
