Sorry you have to deal with Epilepsy. I am learning how to deal with it but the worst is the medication 💊. Put me in the hospital a few weeks ago. This is my 5th medication.
Oh geez, it’s probably going to be a lot harder for you adjusting. I’m not even 30 yet. I can’t imagine someone my parents age adjusting to this. Well, buckle up buttercup! Yeah the med adjustment is a bitch, finding one that doesn’t make u fat, crazy, or seize more is gonna be a ride. Be very careful and don’t let them simply throw pills at you. Remember you’re allowed to say NO. And always say if it doesn’t make you feel right even if it sounds like whining. I just lost a dear sister in law who didn’t like to complain. She might still be alive if she did.
LOL! reminds me of this quote by Hunter S. Thompson "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, Wow! What a Ride!"
I am the kind of person that gets the side effects from most medications, so yes, i tell my Neurologist when the meds mess with me. The last one, Aptiom was bad enough it put me in the hospital.
Sorry to hear about your sister. I am the only one in my family with Epilepsy.
