I'm Donna Beeler and live in the great state of Alabama. I started having seizures out of the blue when I was 35. May 6th 1995 to be exact. I am now 49....so I've had them for quite a few years. I've taken Tegretal, Zonegran, Kepra, Dilantin, Depakote and probably more I don't even remember. I am presently on 700MG of Lamactal. I still have seizures but not as severe when on my meds. My seizures occur about every 30 to 45 days and all in one day. I can have up to 10 blackouts...that's what I call them...and grad mal seizures all within a 24 hour period, then I'm good for another 30 to 45 days. I spent time on the epilepsy monitoring unit several years ago. They have never found the cause. My health in the last year is on a downward spiral and I am curious about rather I've developed a thyroid problem or rather that could be the cause all along but was undiagnosed. That's me plain and simple. I'm glad I joined the forum so I feel there are people out there just like me.
