Is my epilepsy gone?

Thu, 10/13/2016 - 19:25
I started having Grand Mal seizures at the age of 21 out of the blue and I was put on doses of 500mg until I went into the hospital 2 years later for long term monitoring to either change medication or stop so I could get pregnant. They stopped my medication and now it's been a month without seizures and zero medication. My EKG was also normal. I was monitored for a week. Could it be gone? And I'd still very much like to get pregnant, so how much time has to pass until we can start trying? I also have had Hashimotos thyroiditis since I was 12, and was diagnosed with Lyme disease. Could the underlying cause be gone and have anything to do with these two diseases?
