Hi everyone,
I have had a reasoably good run since last December. Whilst I have had aggressive tonic-clonic siezures over the last 5 years, I have only had simple partialls since going on medication 4 years ago. And not many since December.
I have a very full on job, and after a very tiring year I took long service leave to take the family to Vietman. I got back home a week ago, and still have a week before I go back to work.
Yesterday, and particilarly last night I had 10 simple partials that felt very similar to the way a tonic-clonic would come on. I suspect the medication kicked in, but it really threw me. I had 8, every 15 minutes in bed last night.
I have missed a lot of sleep during the past few weeks, and have struggled to sleep since I got back home. I am also very dehydrated even though I am drinking water constantly. Lack of sleep, dehydration and stress are my triggers.
Any tips to improve my sleep and get some rehydration?
I expect my Nuerologist will put my medication up further, which I want to avoid, as Keppra tends to impact my mood.
