Thought I posted in here already but I’m currently on Keppra ER rite now for a diagnosis. My first known episode was on my first day at a new job just a couple months before this was made.
Had a recent episode early December and my med levels were low
Didn’t know Kepprage is a thing but I may have been dealing w/ it all along. Punched a hole in my door out of frustration when my sleep was cut short TWICE the other morning.
The fatigue is real but I fight it whenever possible. I think I should be taking advantage of some benefits but haven’t begun to look into it.
10 years, to me, sounds encouraging since I’ve been told this a lifelong battle. Gotta stay fully dosed everyday and I don’t even drink these days. Never giving up the tree cuz that is my other medicine for it too.
Thanks for sharing OP
Soo ur a bionicyeah man that Keppra could be the worst thing for some. soon as i talked to my dr and mentioned what was going on he changed my meds immediately. put me on mood stabilizer which really has been the best outta everything, Lamotrigine is the name of it. i honestly haven't had one since last june and been overall feeling like they've gone away for good. i know the likelihood of them being gone is a stretch but i've been sleeping 8 hrs, sorta changed my diet and tried to do some exercise when i'm not too tired from work. all that and the DBS surgery has calmed everything pretty good so far. if anyone is interested in DBS surgery it's 2 electric prods planted in your brain in which the dr can control electric volts to calm your brain's activity. they locate where the seizures are most active and tune the machine to send electricity to calm your brain down. look it up more on google, they'll be able to explain it better. these are the pics of the surgery and where everything is planted.
the top shows the prods that go into my brain and the bottom shows where they're connected to a battery in my chest ( sorry if the pics are huge ).
like i said my particular case was extreme at the time i did this but it has gotten alot better. if u feel yours is as bad definitely do some research and maybe even mention it to your dr.
as always my NT fam, all the best ....
