Have not posted in a while. Saw my neuro on 9/4. Still seizure free. I do not have to return till September 2025. I learned something new to me from my neuro in regard to driving laws in AZ. That is where I see him. I am in NM. In AZ if you drive and your dose of AED is being reduced and you have a seizure you can be charged with a DUI. Yes. You are under the influence. You cannot drive in AZ for 3 months if your dose is lowered. My dose of lamotrigine remains the same. 100mg twice daily. My neuro has gone to court for his patients charged with this offense with EEGs MRIs.He said he is not always successful. I take losartan for hypertension. I am having a lot of fatigue lightheadedness. Needing more sleep. Dies anyone know anything about this? I looked it up on drugs.com. I stopped the losartan for now beginning today till I can see my pcp. I could be hyperthyroid too so I will have that checked. Any comments appreciated.
 
Glad to hear you’re seizure free. Those laws are brutal. Sorry you have to deal with that. I did have my thyroid removed. I’ve changed levothyroxine dosages a few times depending on blood work.
Sometimes I kinda joke to myself that my thyroid Dr is jealous of my neurologist. The thyroid doctor knows I would consult my neurologist before anyone else if I have an issue.
Best of luck 🍀
