Hello I have visited your forum before , finally decided that I needed to talk to someone about whether I have E and what I can do about it -So many questions-
Background 10 yrs ago I had an auto accident -I was pretty shook up and almost shocky but made it home driving a car that was barely able to move.
I don't have any memory of Where the Accident Occurred other than a general
idea .I thought I was just stiff and sore opting to go to chiro instead.The first event was 4 days and I was 1 block from home and became lost-couldn't go anywhere parked the car and while disoriented found my way home and had my teenage son help get the car back. After having a Grandmal and being taken to the hospital -I ended up in a Neuro office I was placed on Depakote although
that was absolutely awful- I became very depressed, paranoid unable to function. I had to move -emergency family issue- And somehow along the line-became convinced That If I just were to work harder ,mind over ,matter, I could beat it on my own.I stopped seeing any Dr's and as they all said I was just depressed and had panic and anxiety disorder because all the EEG's came back negative.My memory has been so bad at times on meds that I don't know what day it is and time passes quickly.Too date I continue to have problems have tried many meds Can't seem to find any that work- Yet I never got an Epilepsy DX. I gotten some relief for a period of time then I sink back again.I'm now headed down again and with No health insurance and a new Dr (old guy retired) who doesn't want to help at all but refer to a shrink which I also have no $$ for. I don't know who to turn to for a moral support other than to those who know the most what I'm feeling.
