Hey all,
I hope everybody is well.
My name's Elena I'm 23 and I was very recently diagnosed with Epilepsy (Begging of feb)
After having two prolonged seizures around 2-3 days apart I was quickly prescribed Lamotrigine and Clobazam -When I upped my lamotrigine dosage I had a really crappy allergic reaction in the form of a rash all over my neck and arms. The Clobazam caused horrible nightmares and really disturbed sleep!
My neurologist took me off both and has now put me Levetiracetam/ Keppra.
My bodies dealing much better with Keppra although at first I was still having quite vivid auras, once my dosage was upped they have stopped all together!
I'm just curious about whether other people have experienced night time teeth gurning/ inflamed gums. Additionally I seem to be having a lot of problems with my sinuses which is causing a lot of unnecessary headaches!
I'm pretty sure I have read somewhere that anti convulsive medications can play a bit part in blocking your sinuses?
Thank you all
I just want to know whether this is all occurring in my head aha and I'm unnecessarily placing blame on my meds when its something unrelated :bigsmile:
