My note to doctor about my seizures
Mon, 10/03/2016 - 17:07I wanted to get another opinion about my seizures. Just a little background. I have had complex partial where I would lose conscious. Now the "spells or seizures" only last a few seconds. I get this sick feeling and a little dizzy. I can still function. Sometimes I have to go lay down. This is the message I sent to my doctor. Just looking on others experience and suggestions. I will always follow my doctors advice but just curious....
The last time I was in for a visit, you said that the spells I was having were seizures, even though I did not lose conscious. I am still having these seizures. They only last a few seconds but seem to be a little stronger. I have also noticed that my hands shake more. It could be stress related or lack of sleep. I have also wondered if drinking diet cokes and working on the computer a lot would effect these seizures. I am taking 1250 mg of levetiracetam extended release 2X a day and 200 mg of Lamotrigine 2X a day.
I never sent a note to mine.
