I saw the epileptomologist yesterday and he is very confident in saying my seizures are Tonic Clonic. I had the first one December 20 and the next February 26. Both happened during the night and in both case I lost bladder control. I woke up with my chest drenched in sweat but I wasn't hot.
I am of the age where waking up hot at night is not unusual but this swaet is different. It's like someone has poured a bucket of water on me. Both times I wake up at this point and then realize that I have also wet myself. My arms are achy and all I want to do is sleep.
The next day is a right off as I sleep off and on all day. Despite sleeping so much during the day I can still sleep well at night. Day 2 has been better and I feel more energetic.
Beginning tonight I am to increase the medication I am on already. I have Trigeminal Neuralgia and take Carbamazepine, Baclofen and Nortryptiline. I find it so discouraging that after all the rest of my neurological issues the past 5 yrs I now also have E.
Tonight I increase the Carbamazepine fromm 400 mg CR am and pm to 500 mg CR am and pm. I am so nervous as I have SIADH and this medication is partially responsible for that. Could someone please tell it's going to be ok and that the increase will not cause any problem?
I would appreciate hearing your E stories in brief ie how you were diagnosed and how you have responded to meds.
