Hi folks,
New to the forum and recently had a spell of seizures creep back up again. In college, back in 06-08ish, I had a few seizures and was put on medication for about 5 years or so. I had EEG's and tests done and nothing showed up. I eventually came off the medication and have been for about 7-8 years with no signs of a seizure. Fast forward to January of this year and I got into a really bad car accident where I blacked out and broke my back and was in the hospital for a week. The doctors didn't know what caused the black out until one day in March I was walking home from work and I had a seizure on the side of the road and someone riding by called the EMT's. My neurologist has since has put me on 100mg Topiramate twice a day.
So I am just wondering do any of you live alone? How do you cope with having seizures?
Thanks
