One Year!

Today marks one year since my last generalized seizure. :)

I also haven't had any partials since Christmas day, which is a record at 11 weeks (knock on wood--whenever I say that, I start having them again...).

So that means my current med combination is working, as far as that goes.

That does NOT include the Lamotrigine, which is the one that was making me sick a couple of months ago, and which I stopped taking.

I do occasionally still have mild symptoms which are difficult to describe, but which I would call "waves" of activity in my brain which pass without materializing into a partial seizure. I can feel a weirdness or a familiarity or something else indescribable and then it passes without developing.

My biggest challenge right now is the stress in my life, which of course is not good for my health in general and can be a trigger for seizures in particular. I am working on a plan to change some things up and reduce my stress load. Also working on practicing more and better self care.

Still waiting on the new neuro referral, but I expect that to take at least 4-5 months, if not longer.
