Hi. I was recently diagnosed with Mesial Temporal Sclerosis. Today actually, the MRI was reviewed with the neurologist. For more than 30yrs I was having bouts of absence seizures. I had an eeg when I was a kid but it was inconclusive and nothing more was properly done about it. The last 5 years I have had some serious fatigue issues, increasing short term memory loss and more frequent “blanks.” I finally dumped my physician who was telling me it was my imagination. I Went to a quick care clinic and the situation unfolded to where I am now. I have a question however. It is clear that the MRI shows MTS. And it was discussed in depth with the neurologist the symptoms I experience. Yet I was prescribed Carbamazepine … which is NOT for absence seizures at all. Can anyone understand this logic from the neurologist. Have you had a similar experience. Being prescribed something for symptoms you don’t have? An anticonvulsant for absence seizures?
