Hey, I'm new here and have been really glad I found this place to share stories and try to understand more what's got ahold of me. Thanks for having me.
June 14 I had my first and last seizures. Three in one day. I was extremely exhausted from work and play, I think exhaustion had a huge impact on this. Maybe more than the Keppra?
Saw a neurologist a few months ago. He's got me on 2K mg of Keppra alone per day. He did an EEG on me, looked it at and said he wouldn't like to see me for 6 six months. I assume it's good news. I really think Im baffling him, and he doesn't want to admit it or stop seeing me or my insurance check.
Here in Texas, it takes 6 months without a seizure to get back to driving again. Living alone and having no DL as a 28 year old man has been horrible, don't wish it on my worst enemy. No public transport is available for me so I've been walking or meekly accepting rides when offered. Huge change in lifestyle, hating it. Really glad I work from home or I'd be ruined.
What concerns me is that I have two choices right now. Either continue on my Keppra for life at a cost of $500 a year or try to ramp the drugs down and risk another seizure and 6 months of no driving. Neither seems acceptable to me. Any suggestions for me?
Also, how do I upload a photo album?
I feel a lot better, very cathartic. Thanks for reading. :e:
