hello friends,
Yesterday was a rough day,
neuro's nurse thought i had another tia, was nothing like the last one so I blew them off. (plus last time I went in the told it was memory issues)
My wife just found a lighter under a ice pack from me (dont remember putting it there) she drilled the kids as did the grandparents concluded they didnt put it there, so somehow I did, dont know when or how but it was in the last 2 days.
last night however I could give a 3 turn direction without confusion took 6-8 mins to think of how to get there, took over 10 min to think of one word, and had an absence seizure and my fingers wrote a word during the time frame when i was out of it and when i came to during a chat i freaked out and start apoligizing even though it fit with the coversation, when i didnt mean to put it in the coversation.
1st time on over a year my left side of my face went numb, my arms (both of em and they burned at the same time) had blurry vision.
And they told me that in no way was it the upped dose of keppra since it was only my 1st set of 1000mg but (if they would take a few extra mins to listen) I have a quicker reaction to meds than most people when most people take up to 3-5 days to notice how a drug will affect them I can tell in 1-3 days or less any food I eat run right through me its sad, and (docs word again) it's all in my head.
And yes I did have a seizure last night with a migraine and urination this morning i forgot to add that part.
and a new aura smell as well not my normal fruity candy smell I had i was kinda sad not I had a herbal root kinda smell.
so now my keppra has been doubled and next week my topamax will be reduced from 75mg 3x daily to 50mg 3x daily i'm at with keppra 1000mg 2x daily now.
I love what keppra did for me and how it reduced my seizures from daily to every 3-4 days and hope with this increase it will be more spread out. I've been having SPS type seizures everyother day but not to often as well.
Thoughts, ideas?
Thanks everyone!
Mike
sorry this was so long had to get this off my chest
