Today, I had every major stress thrown at me. I had to run a global employee meeting for the CEO and Chief Financial Officer with an audience of 10,000 employees (both in person audience and live webcast to three continents), and if anything went wrong, it was on my head (I run every aspect of the logistics). I have barely slept in 5 days, was stressed to the hilt, and had to immediately work toward a major deadline right afterwards, no food, blood sugar crash. Not even the faintest hint of a seizure!!! I had to drop down on Lamictal from 300 to 200 over the weekend but increased Topamax from 150 to 200. I feel virtually insane from the Topamax increase but really seizure stable too. I finally called my old neuro who I haven't exactly told he is fired yet just so my med change wasn't done in a medical vaccuum. Maybe a higher dose of Topamax is the trick for me. Anyway it's easy to come on here and talk about all the problems but I just wanted to share one good success. Back to work :-)
 
Andrew my job is a stress factory. It's going to be the death of me :-) I'm thinking of getting a job as a floral arranger or zen garden raker!!
 
GREAT TO HEAR GOOD NEWS!! Good job!!!!! :clap::woot:
 
Yea! Congrats! Best thing first is relax, have some comfort food, watch a sunset (or rise, or both) and then on with it!
 
Congrats! I'm glad it went well, hope things have gotten a little less stressful since. :)
