Hi All,
I've had epilepsy for well over 20 years and my doctor claims it to be controlled through Carbomaizapine.When I excercise I've had seizures and for some reason the baseline numbers slip giving a reading that should actually be higher. This is disturbing and my husband strongly believes the seizures actually do cause my level to drop significantly. My doctor then turns around and tells me I'm non-compliant.
Excercizing is a significant means of avoiding depression and staying focussed for me, I would rather take a stronger dose than give it up. Any thoughts or similar experiences?

cactus,
doctors say that is how they think i may have gotten mine too (encephalitis). Do you suffer from any memory issues? how are your aura issues? how often? just curious? i lost many years of memory, and continue too lose short term with each aura episode.
thx,
