I saw the neurologist today and he thinks we're headed in the right direction. I did get better before I moved and I'm starting to recover again 15 days after the move, save one TC, and here I am, typing fine without gibberish, so something's certainly going well. My clients are paying me bonuses over their agreed upon fees, so that is a good sign too. So we are moving up slowly from 1200 to 3600mg Neurontin. It sounds crazy--1200mg three times daily. But there you go. He says that after six months we might be able to try eliminating the Epilim and Phenytoin, and stay on Neurontin as monotherapy. I told him that I was concerned about that because Neurontin doesn't treat tonic clonics. He said no, it does. Now I don't know, but everywhere I've read it says Neurontin is indicated only for partials and absence seizures. It's largely taken care of my tonic seizures, and no med has ever been able to do that ever, so would it follow that Neurontin will take care of my tonic clonics? He says the neurontin is doing it's job, but it's not at a good dose yet. I'll be moving up from tomorrow.
That's my update. I've been feeling happy living in my new home because I've been in touch with old friends every single day. It's been great. And the people here are so much more open, and more my scene--my old suburb was Snob Central. This morning I went to the station and landed up in an hour long conversation with two strangers who had also just met each other there. Then today I was standing on my balcony and I looked around and, on the balcony neighbouring my neighbour, was an old friend from a town I moved away from five years ago! She lives almost next door to me, so I actually have a friend right in my block. How excellent is that?
