Hi, I'm Val, I'm new here. I was diagnosed with JME in junior high, around age 12. Currently age 27 and seizures are still not completely under control, although infrequent. For a long time (5+ years, around the time I was in high school/early years of college) they were under control. At that time I was taking a combo of Depakote and Lamictal which worked great but as we all know, not great for me to be taking if I decide I want to bear children in the future. Which is why my neurologist switched me to Keppra in January this year. The transition wasn't too rocky but I have had 3 TCs since the switch. I had one TC in February, then 2 unexpectedly last week. Trying to figure out what my triggers are, because they seem to be different with Keppra than when I was on the other cocktail. My current problem is that my desk buddy at work (I'm a dental office manager, do mostly administrative/customer service type work) is now paranoid that I'm going to have a seizure and is monitoring me much more closely than I feel she needs to. I mean, I appreciate the kind gesture but unless I'm flopping around on the floor, I would much prefer she disregard my epilepsy altogether. Her over-concern is causing me to have some anxiety about work. I've always been a really chill, laid-back person who tries not too worry too much about anything, but more and more I find myself in a mindset where I just don't want to be at work anymore when I could possibly be having seizures, plus it sucks even more now that my co-worker is hyper-aware of my epilepsy. I know I'm lucky that I have a job and am able to work, so trying not to complain too much about my J-O-B (I even have a wonderful husband who drives my butt to and from work every day), but can anyone relate and possibly offer up some advice on how to cope with epilepsy-related anxiety? Much thanks in advance.
