Had epilepsy since three years old
Thu, 11/19/2015 - 08:29My name is Regina Irvin I had registered along time ago but I haven't been on it for a while.
I had epilepsy since I was three years old I am now 52 December 28 I will be turning 53,
I have a daughter that is 25 years old living in Carolina.
I live in Grand Junction, CO for 41/2 years I was living in New York all of my life I always wanted to live here in Colorado. Out here in Colorado its very quiet in New York I couldn't stand the people, trains, and the fast life.
When I had my daughter in July 1990 my seizures had gotten so out of control I had two brains surgeries in 1996 I am still on medication I am now taking Lamical. I had my medications changed seven times because the medications I was taking didn't work anymore. I had to change the medications because I had went into seizures right now my hands shake and I get mirgrains headaches.
Yesterday I had fell and split my chin open I had to get four stitches in it. I was walking to my Neurolgist I was just glad I was going to the office to see him yesterday.
