I thought I was doing so well!!

I was diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy in August after suffering a grand mal seizure in late July.  For a year and a half I had been having simple and complex partial seizures each month (right around my period) but never had a clue it was actually seizures.  The symtoms were just so strange I never mentioned them to anyone.  I honestly thought I was just going crazy!  After the grand mal I came home and done some reading and realized what I had been suffering from all those months were actually seizures!

My neurologist started me on Keppra, 1,000 mg a day and since August I have been seizure free and have honestly felt like a new person.    This week, the seizures have made a comeback.  Not nearly as bad as they were before, no de-ja vu feelings, smells, tastes, just feelings of disorientation, sweating, etc.   I am to see my doctor again tomorrow.  Such a let down after I had been doing so well.  :o(
