Re: [epilepsy] EMU Study

 

Hi and a big welcome to the group
I have epilepsy for centuries it seems, had a daughter with epilepsy, her son and also been caregiver for
those who many of them have seizures from some type of condition. Mine were generalized grand mal (which
means they didn't have any specific home area they originated from (smile) Yes it can be very confusing and
you learn more and more every day. You say you are also a diabetic. Any of my doctors have also asked that
question 'have you ever been tested for diabetes's.
I would make sure all you doctors/specialists/family doctors know what the other is giving you, as one med
could lower or just the opposite the results of other medications you are on for something else. Also make
sure they know you could be pregnant. You don't want anyone to hurt that little one. Some drugs are not so
good to take and possibly others can be put in their place.

Subject: [epilepsy] EMU Study

I have new onset seizures that have begun August 2008. Since then I have had 4 more seizures. The last being
very baffling to my nuerologist because of the lamitiacal level I had. Now he has ordered me to go have video
24 hour monitoring for 5 days. The kicker is that the EMU Nuerologist doe NOT want me to wein off my
medication. How am I going to solve this if I don't have seizure? I am also a diabetic I take insulin and
glucophage, have depression (on prozac)and I have sleep apnea and sleep with a CPAP machine. All of this at
the age of 32. Single and no kids-yet. There is a possibility that I could be pregnant as well. I have not
gotten my cycle yet. About four days late. Please help!
