Tim,
Thanks for your input. I won't even try it without talking to my
epileptologist. In fact, last night I had a simple partial, even though
it only lasted a few seconds. Also, I don't drive. I have decided I
won't be driving ever again, in part because of the seizures, and in
part because my concentration is so bad. Simply put, I know I wouldn't
be safe! We have actually gone to being a one car family because it was
foolish to keep two.
