I forgot about this forum for a while. I just remembered it as I just had another neurologist appointment. I've been free from tonic clonic seizures for 13 to almost 14 months and finally he declared me with ability to legally drive now. Now finally I go every 6 months instead of 3! Now if only those seizures stays under control! :woot:

I have been going to sleep within almost asleep I wake up to feeling a small jerk in my foot. I mentioned it to my neurologist, and he said that is quite common and as it's only once or twice a month there is no need to increase dosage on medication or anything. It 'could' be juvenile myoclonic seizures is what he said. But, it is still legal for me to drive.

Plus after exhausting exercise, and diet I lost almost 17lbs. I was wondering why I struggled, and I found out my synthroid dosage was too low so they increased it by 25mg now it's not as hard.

Anyway! That's just good news for me I guess still struggling with getting around though, and no ged or job yet but I'm working on GED. The newer one with common core is a lot harder than it looks.

Hi Notime,

Congrats on your months being seizure free.

On your GED. I don't know where you live but your librarian may be able to help you locate a program to get some tutoring for it, possibly through a literacy program. Good luck on it! I remember sweating over getting mine, many years ago.
 
@Zoe many years ago? yours probably didn't have common core and where you had to come up with a conclusion on a lot of answers on the test (doesn't count on math though)
 
A GED is a degree that is equivalent to a high school diploma. When, for whatever reason including health issues, someone hasn't finished high school, they can go back and get a GED and then be prepared to apply to a college or university if they choose to.

Congrats to notime! Seems like things are getting back on track.

I may be a little biased about this having been a professor for many years but, notime, I really hope you persevere and get your GED. My father always told me, education is one thing that, once it is yours, nobody can ever take it away from you. It's not easy but it's well worth the effort.
 
Not me, I'm so glad to see you and even more glad to hear your wonderful update. May things continue to go well for you. :)
