Hi,
So many of us have different seizures. I have had epilepsy
for 51 years now and I am still on drugs. Presently I take
Lamictal. 13 years ago I had the brain surgery, left temporal,
and all my day seizures completely stopped however nocturnal
ones began and I still get these at least twice a month.
Often my husband gives me another drug when this happens
since often seizures repeat one after another. I am glad
I did the surgery though, since I was able to get my
driving license back since I have to be asleep to have a
seizure. I lost my license when I was 17 post an accident
caused by my first seizure.
I hope you can work out the tremors and find satisfaction
in any change needed to do this. Take care.
