I haven't seen this good friend since January. He's kinda costly without insurance. I figured I can't put it off anymore since I last saw him I've started 2 new meds and have been the hospital. I also see blood work in my future since I haven't had any blood work done this year! I am also going to tell him how much I really love Keppra! not! Since its not doing anything to cut the number of seizures well neither is the Lomotrigine for that matter so. I see a med change in my future also. That will really stink as I worked so hard with the drug companies red tape to get a 6 month supply of both for free.. Oh well life will go on and will do it again with a new med if he decides to go that route.

I also had my hearing with the unemployment office yesterday. It went ok. They asked me if I had applied for a job close to my home in the last 7 days and of course with the holiday I didn't The whole thing lasted about 10 minutes and a decision will be made in about 7-10 day. I was given the opportunity for the last commit. I told the officer that I feel I'm being discriminated against by the very people who enact laws that are supposed to protect me!:soap:

Oh well stay tuned we'll see what happens! :pop:
 
I hope your friend will be able to recommend a different drug to help with seizure control.
 
Well he's gonna back off the Keppra and up the Lamictal. He wants to do another VEEG and then discuss VNS. I think it was a good visit with my friend!
 
Excellent! It's nice to feel like a doctor is actually paying attention to you.
 
PITA-
Good to hear your appt went well.
Hope you will be able to get the unemployment benefit soon.
