I am 53 years old and recently had an abnormal MRI (chronic infarct, according to the radiologist) and an abnormal EEG due to some "odd episodes" I have been having. As I think back about it, I have been having odd episodes since my 20's that I always attibuted to something else. I am now awaiting an appointment with a neurologist who I feel like will likely diagnose me with epilepsy based on the two abnormal tests and my symptoms. I'm scared as I am required to drive to appointments with my job and I am only 4 years away from retirement. I am worried too about adjusting to the medication they will likely give me as I am so medication sensitive. For those of you that worked at the time of your diagnosis, did you take time off work to adjust to the medication? I think that I mostly just need encouragement as I'm scared to death.
