I'm so glad I found this resource.
The username I chose (and use for my blog, other sites, etc.) is 2nd Chances, because it's what I felt I've been given... until recently.
2 fever induced febrile seizures as a baby, meds till 5. At age 21, my seizures returned, often 5-10 (or more) per day, meds did nothing. Had a right temporal lobectomy about 2 years later, and was great... until this past May.
I used my 2nd Chance at life, to live. I stopped taking things for granted, I did more with my son, I started doing triathlons! Suddenly in May, 9 months after getting married, the seizures returned out of the blue, with a vengeance. (Thankfully I wasn't running, riding my bike, or swimming in the middle of the lake when they decided to come back!)
Here we go again. I'm having a much harder time dealing with my loss of independence this time, and while blessed to be able from work at home, I'm having a hard time functioning while taking Dilantin and Vimpat. Anyone else out there have the same/similar struggles?
I look forward to getting to know more people that understand.
Take care.
