Re: [epilepsy] more then one topic

 

My doctor made a mistake in writing my prescription. He told me that I can't take allergy meds that contain an antihistimine, but wrote out the prescription for one that contained it. Luckily I noticed it, although his handwriting is horrible. I asked the pharmacist and she called my doctor who confirmed that it was a mistake. The more we know about our illness and the meds we take, the better off we are advocating for ourselves. Mistakes can happen at any time.

First maybe it is not the pharmacy but the Dr.who wrote the prescription
that made the error and the pharmacist just gave you what he wrote (the Dr.).
Second topic is I have a VNS and hate it. I have had it for a year now and it is so painful when used that the only time it is used is when I have a seizure. It does not get primed everyday anymore. It seems the closer my Neur.appt. is the more it hurts then he adjusts it and for about two weeks it does not seem to bother me I have been taken off Dilantin and put on Trileptal
which I do believe is better for me and I haved fewer seizures I think.
That leaves me on 4 meds. unstead of 5. I talk very softly now not that I shouted. I thought my husband was loosing his hearing but everyone says (what?) to me a lot. Maybe it is the new med. (Trileptal)
Third topic I am going to Church today with no husband or dog that really scares me.
