Hi Robert,

 

Welcome to our group.  I've had EP for  50 years. I then had 3 daughters 2,4, and 6 and a

husband who is now an ex.  I have been on Dilantin and Phenabarb for over 20 years.  My

last sz was a year ago but I had been sz free for 5 years.  My girls say my brain gets scrambled

when I have a sz.  I don't pass out anymore.  Because I hadn't taken my meds for about 3 days,

the Dr. kept me on those meds.  I'm very fortunate to not have many szs.

 

I have a 3 room plus bath apartment in a Retirement Center.  In Nov it will be 17 years that I have

been here..  The Manor I live in has 150 apts.  I love it here.  There are 1,200 residents on campus.

 

Glad you joined us.

 

Millie

Subject: [epilepsy] Hello

 

Hi all,

Just joined. I didn't know there was another group run by Jewl (where I have been a member for several years). I am in UK and take Tegretol, Mysoline and Clonazepam (also take extra of this to try to try to arrest cluster seizures). I went through a whole succession of AEDs trying to regain the full control I had for 12 years until 1992. Newest AED I tried during thid time was Keppra then Trileptal. I know there are now new ones out there, and these have been discussed with the neuro Prof recently. We decided I was probably best to stick with the current regime, unless things take a dive.

I should add my epilepsy started life as nocturnal only TC szrs. When control (on Phenytoin) was lost they came back as daytime CPs. These have changed several times over 20 years.

Best wishes
Robert
