Following flights to San Fransisco in May 2009 and then Philly in May 2010 from Heathrow, London I had single Grand Mal seizures triggered by the flights . I have have considerable memory loss since these last two. Seems very strange what memories are gone. Very haphazard. Short term is not good but reasonable considering my age of 76. I am now on 200mg of Phenytoin/day. Sleep badly and lots of headaches from the drug. Any suggestions?
