Update on neuro visit

[CQ:)]

I went to the epilepsy clinic Monday for a follow up appt which went well.

At my last appt which was in September the neuro increased my Zonegran, since then my seizures had dropped to 1 a month and 0 in January. Apart from February which was a rough month with 2 seizures (both at my work but no one witnessed them) and a couple of strange 'events' in the middle of the night.

The neuro thinks the 'events' I had in middle of night last month were in fact seizures and not sleep walking and most likely due to the heat as it was still summer here in Australia and has been warm. I also mentioned to him how I'm not getting the sound auras I used to get & instead I just feel a little strange for a second then space out.
I will still hear the voices/ have the dream like visions but not be alert when it happens.
He confirmed I am having complex partials without auras (well he used the new terminology focal Seizures & explained in detaled what it was but I prefer to use what I know which is simple/complex partial lol).

I also saw the epilepsy nurse and neuropsych for a chat.

So all in all it went well, no change in meds and go back in 6 months

Good thing summer is almost over where you are. Has heat been a trigger for you before?

Yeah we're in Autumn now so it's starting to get cooler more overnight which is great.
Dont think heats ever been a trigger but I dont like the summer, didnt mind it when i was younger but started hating it more when i got older lmao.

My neuro asked me about if I have air conditioning, I dont have great air conditioning. In my bedroom I use a stick fan which is a tall slim fan and it does me. He said no its not good enough lol.

All I have in this place is an old air con which I dont like & it doesnt work really well so i dont bother using it so i use what I have and it works for me. My friend thinks I should invest in a portable air con for my bedroom.
