I am happy to finally have a diagnosis of epilepsy.
Fri, 09/25/2015 - 11:40Hello!
I am a 50 year old man that has been recently diagnosed with epilepsy and yes I am happy, why? Because in the last 5 years I have been told many things! I started with olphactory allucinations then they escalated to cp seizures and after having them every month since Feb last year they apparently finally escalated to TC . I went to the ER with seizures many times they were witnesses by many Md's I had an eps study and a cardiac loop inseted looking for Near Syncope, i was also told I had severe anxyiety but it took the usual with a TC to get the oppps from the Dr.s I am now in Keppra. This has been a real lesson and eye opener for me, I was never able to feel anything in my heart or any "anxyety" but like one Md said once that I was bias and I needed to trust the professionals!
I put part of the blame on my self, maybe I needed to explained better! But I went to the ER several times to show them but apprently they are only trained to detect TC's! Any way thats the past I am now diagnosed and I am ok with it. Hopefully the Keppra will work!
