Hi Andrew, welcome to CWE!

You need to see a neurologist who can reevaluate your medications, and either adjust your dosages or suggest a different med to try that might work better. Do you have access to health care? Have you had an X-ray or MRI done to make sure you weren't severely injured when you hit your head on the rock?

Best,
Nakamova
 
i am seeing a neurologist and was in the hospital for a day after that had cat scan xray and mri all clear. the meds are only part of the problem i am more looking for any help finding some place to go cause being homeless with this is not safe
 
Hi Andrew! are you from the UK? citizens Advice, your local council housing department would be able to help you out. You need accommodation so you can sought the other issues out. Please ask about- we will be thinking about you.
Good Luck!

Andrew, where in Massachusetts are you? Depending on where you are located, there should be either city or state agencies to help you get stable housing and health care.
 
Welcome. Andrew.
So sorry to hear the rough situation you find yourself in.
I just want to point out something that I didn't know, when I started on this journey with my daughter. In our case, anti seizure meds increased my daughters seizures, if I had not kept a journal it would have been hard to prove.

Now after making nutritional changes she is currently in her 11th month seizure free. Perhaps there are ways to raise your seizure threshold
