My appt with my neuro went well :e: haven't had any sz's this month.
I only had 5 last none in July and 4 in June.
I see him again in January.:banana:It seems that since he's increased my Clonazepam by 1/2MG it's done the trick by helping my seizures decrease.
I won't get my hopes up about my seizures staying decreased .

Robin,
everytime I've gottne my hopes upabout my seizures decreasing or stating decreased.
Something happens to dash my hopes.
thats why I don't get my hopes up after more 40 years of it happening I've learned my lesson.

I've been on both brand and generics and
had seizure free periods for an extended
period of time; until my body developed a
resistance / tolerance to the medications I
was put on and then it all collapsed.

For a long time my team of Neurologists
couldn't understand why; but today my
Doctors do ~ it's because of my chemistry
and hematology and genetic.

Now I see it has got to be the most frustrating
part in the Neurology Department to work with
me with medications. While a few I have no side
effects or problems - but the issue remain is
"how long will this last?" One question that hovered
over my mind that I never did understand is why
they kept taking me off of something that was
working and putting me on something else that
would work for a short span or wouldn't work
and would almost always end up being right
smack back with Dilantin / Phenytoin with or
without Klonopin (Clonazepam). I always did take
whatever they laid out before me, and some of
them ... well, let's keep them buried (!) for I'll
never go to that cocktail mix again - ever!


PS: CONGRATS On your Seizures being reduced!
