Hi everyone
I am new here. I was diagnosed with partial complex seizures about six months ago. Since then it has been a bit of a rollercoaster getting the meds right and getting my life back. I am 46 and apparently I have been having seizures for the past 18 to 24 months. I had no idea what was going on. It took nearly everything from me. I was becoming ever more fatigued, forgetful, often confused and according to friends and family my entire personality had changed. When a diagnosis was finaly reached I was told that I was constantly sliding back into a post phase and that was why it was taking such a phisical tole. BY the end I had lost my job, put a lot of stress on my family, and many people thought I was angry at them. (I have spent a great deal of time repairing things)
I am now recovering and I thought I would feel better emotionally than I do. I can't seem to shake the feeling of impending doom, as if I am going to return to where I was at any time. I still have the occasional breakthrough, though not too often now. It just scares the heck out of me.
Anyway, I dont want to sound like a whiner. I just don't feel like anyone around me truly understands how I feel.
Thanks for listening
