Re: [epilepsy] New here - have questions

 

HI, and Welcome ,

My name is Jewl I am 50years old and I am married�and we live in Texas�. I have had EP since 1996after catching a virus. I have been on many medications and combinations of. Now I take Vimpat and Lamictal. Not every drug is for everyone.

As for driving I have not driven in 17 years, I have been fortunate to live in towns that have an elderly and disabled bus service. Call your town hall and ask if they do. Mine is door to door and is five dollars round trip.

I know you will find a wealth of information and friends here.

If I can help in anyway just let me know, I am the Owner�of this
group.

Hi, our 30 yr. old son recently had his first ever tc. He had it at work and dislocated, and broke his shoulder. He lives alone and now isn't allowed to drive because of the seizure. The hospital ran all kinds of tests and couldn't find a reason for the seizure, except his EEG showed he is prone to generalized seizures. He is now on Keppra. I don't know much about seizures because no one in our whole family has had seizures, so we're all kinda puzzled. He has his first follow-up visit after his hospital stay with his Neurologist next week. I am going to drive him to his appt. and I'm trying to prepare some good questions for the Dr. Does anyone have any suggestions of some basic info. we should ask?
Oh yeah, and moms worried about him living alone :) Thank God he can work from home.
