went to the neurologist on thursday - said what i'd figured he would, that the seizure i'd had on sunday was probably due to my being sick - infections will lower my seizure threshold and since i had more than one going on at the same time, along with the vomiting et al, it was bound to happen. doc hasn't changed my Rx, but did mention the possibility of new meds - Keppra or Topamax. we'll see. he also gave me some info on the Vagus Nerve Stimulator, though i think we both agree that my seizures don't warrant it at this point - 3 or 4 tonic-clonic seizures a year is still too many, but it could be a hell of a lot worse.

magic 8 ball!
Pop, soda, or coke? I tend to call it pop, but coke's probably a close second...

oh sheesh - EPILEPTIC TOLD: PAY £3500 TO WOMAN WHO SAW YOU HAVE A SEIZURE - glad i'm not in the UK...in US dollars, that's $5,445.87. rather ironic finding this article this weekend, after i had a seizure and spent an evening in the emergency room. just having a seizure wouldn't be enough to hit the ER, but since i've had a urinary tract infection and upper respiratory infection as well, it was necessary to make sure something horrible wasn't going on - nope, no West Nile virus or anything, it just happened that i got slammed by a variety of stuff all at once. still not 100% - it's very obvious that the seizures are fucking with my brain more and more - having verbal problems still, tho it's relatively minor compared to the seizure i had in june.
