I've been medicated since July. I haven't lost consciousness since I went on medication. That's a win I suppose (although I likely wouldn't anyways since I only do in the summers). I'm still having partials like always, no change there and have felt a couple (literally) times that I was going to have a TC but didn't. It stopped and went away. I haven't told my neuro.
I have a habit of calling my partial seizures just that.. Partial.
Like they aren't actual seizures. But the doctors say they are, that when I have an aura and feel like I'm about to have a TC, but it goes away instead, that it was a seizure.
That when I space out in that funny head foggy pressurized way it's a seizure. When the walls breathe and the road flows like water that I'm having a seizure.
But for some reason if I stay conscious I shrug it off as a "minisode" and move on. It doesn't leave the headache, the muscle ache, the vomiting or confusion so it's even forgotten about when I see the doctor.
My medication(Tegredol) is making me so fuzzy. I got a promotion in January and I'm terrible at my job. My once sharp mind is in such a haze. My bosses can tell and I think my job is on the line right now. I don't want it to get worse by increasing my dosage.
Do you worry about your minisodes, when you are medicated are all episodes, mini and major, supposed to go away? Are mini really as mini as they feel or are they also as significant as a generalized seizure?
I retain consciousness just not fully. I am aware just not in tune if that makes sense.
ugh
