63 and NO diagnosis of aNY kind.
Sun, 08/09/2015 - 20:22I had my first grand Mal seizure 02/12/2012. Since then I have had 39 in 40 months. I lost my great job 30 days after the first one. I have had MRI, CT, Xrays, EEGS, and any other test in Nuerology you can name. Nothing has ever been identified as THE cause. I have been on Dilantin 300-400 MG with 40 MG Klonipin every since. I go monthly to my neurologist but other than stress or maybe low blood sugar has ever been discussed.
I went from a executive power woman working 50 hours + every week; an entertainer of my friends with gourmet meals and movie nights; a grandmother of two beautiful girls who played for hours in my pool with them to an isolated, unemployed, drugged women who can not even walk to the bathroom without holding on to the walls. The drugs make me sleep 10 to 12 hours a day, groggy, can't the hold a cup of hot coffee without dribbling it on myself. I have seized up and fallen down my basement twice so far.
I can't find another elderly woman with no history of epilepsy nor seizures or any serious head injuries similar. Is there any e here?
