It's a catch 22 situation, dammed if u do~dammed if u don't. But at least I'm seizure free.

My manual dexterity in my hands and fingers is very poor as a result of the long term use of meds, IE: if I'm in the chat room, by the time I type my statement-everybody is on the next subject and I find it really hard to keep up. That's odd because I had a computer at my desk at work for several years.

I had to give up my music teaching 26yrs ago as a result of my poor dexterity and coordination, but my seizures are under control. It's a HUGE tradeoff.

Does anyone else have this prob??
BTW it took me 9 mins to type this.
