I was born will epilepsy mother noticed me steering into space at 18 months old. As I got older the seizures continued to get worse. At age 40 I had brain surgery. Few years before the surgery I notice the seizures was happening more in October and April when the atmosphere pressure change. I been good since the surgery except for two 1 I somehow became over dehydrated and 2 I broke a leg and pain caused a seizure. I have stopped my meds been find until this Month October. My head feels clearer since I stopped the meds but now I am feeling strange again. I want off the drugs but at the same time I dont want seizures. I dont see my Doctor until next month but worry there is something really wrong what should I do.
