Had my neurologist appointment today and he diagnosed temporal lobe epilepsy. My dad bought a video of one of my seizures and apparently it was pretty 'classic' in presentation, I'm waiting for EEG and MRI appointments.
I'm feeling a lot of conflicting emotions, happy to know what's going on and at how minor it is considering many others' experiences, angry that I have to go through this at all, a bit sad (though i think that will go). I felt like I knew he was going to say epilepsy but at the same time I'm still a bit stunned, it's all quite sudden.
I've been put on Lactimal to start with, starting tomorrow. How is this medication in terms of side effects?
