and just came home frustrated
The missing chunks of time which I had hoped were just a med side-effect or maybe dozing off (reaching maybe) are little seizures. She also noticed a stammer/stutter starting to leak back into my speech which I thought was just the aphasia thing with the Topomax but she thinks THAT might be little seizures too!?!?! :crying: I guess it has something to do with where my scar tissue is? SHe hadn't gotten the results back from my ambulatury eeg yet so don't know what went down with that. While she was checking my reflexes she says my right side is lagging and I got a tremor going on and then she noticed petechiae all over my arms and asked if I had them on my stomach, I told her I didn't know so she checked and I did so that led to her ordering a blood panel to see if my platelets were working right. I'm just sitting in my chair pretty much dumbfounded and trying to absorb crap and trying not to get angry (my Mom was running her mouth too and that wasn't helping).
She ended up increasing my lamictal again by another 50mg...I told her I wasn't liking that because of the moodiness issue. She said if I had that issue again then she would ramp me down off it and on to Depakote. She is also taking me off the trileptal (Yeehaw!!).
I'm not letting my mom go in the room with me anymore, she keeps bring up stuff and saying "I thought you knew"....grrrrr. This time it was some stupid tremor/twitch in my cheek I supposedly get frequently and have gotten for a long time. That distracted me so much that I completely forgot the other questions I wanted to ask the doctor.
Ugh.
