Hello to All

I just wanted to say hello and tell everyone how much I enjoy this forum. I have had simple partial seizures for about 1 1/2 years, just diagnosed 3 weeks ago. I have a history of encephalitis, two concusions and a skull fracture, which I think is the cause of all this. My neuro has not said what he thinks the cause is. I had a series of episodes 1 1/2 years ago and spent a week in the hospital. They could not find anything and marked it up to a migrain, since I have a hisory of those also. I never experienced another one until about a month ago. A week later I had another series and spent another week in the hospital. They didn't find any thing that time either. I finally had an abulatory EEG which was abnormal in the temporal area. I was started on Keppra at 500 mg twice a day. Then it was increased two weeks ago to 500 mg in the morning and 750 at night. I am now taking 750 mg twice a day. It was just increased this morning after having eight seizures yesterday. It is so odd not being able to move a muscle but knowing everything that is going on around you. The medication is causing me some very bad emotional turmoil. I get angry over the least little thing and the depression just about has me immobile. My poor husband is having to deal with all of this turmoil since I can no longer work or drive so it has put him under some financhial strain as well as emotional. It is all a big mess. Thanks for letting me vent.
