I am epileptic and from Australia
Fri, 10/15/2004 - 22:38I am 46 yrs old, and I started to have epileptic seizures at the age of 19. I overwent the operation but it didn't work properly. I am taking Keppra, Rivotril and Lamictal. I do have few memory problems but I always try to overcome the problem the best I can. It seems that Keppra is working properly as well as Rivotril. I only have a tiny problem which bothers me. Sometimes I am physically aware that a person is talking with me but I don't understand what the person is saying and I have difficulties to speak, to talk for few minutes. If I am lestining to a person, his/her voice seem to be like an unpleasant echo which slowly flies far away. Does anybody have this kind of problem? What about pins and needles or similar problem which happens to me on my legs and my back?
