Yeah I hear you. The hardest part for me has been coping with the fact I may have this the rest of my life and it may be uncontrollable. Many neuros have told me it is controllable but a doctor at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville said once you are on 3 meds and have seizures on all 3 then their is a less than 10% chance any med would control them. That is what I fear most. I also fear just the effects of the meds--they seem to really change people and I worry if I ever do get off I will not "be the same".
