Well I went to the epileptologist for the first time yesterday.I really liked her,so that's a good thing!Since all my tests came back normal she wants to repeat the VEEG and also have the heart monitor on me.She will stop my Tegretol to bring a seizure on,which really doesn't need to be done since I still have 2 seizures a day.My heart has been racing with the seizures.Plus I fell again.OUCH! I'll be in for a week or two.The appointment has not been made yet I am waiting for the office to call me.They know that they are seizures but now they are not sure if it is epilepsy.So please pray for me that all goes well..I'm sure it will but is nice to know that there are other people praying for you.Thank you and God bless all.
