Hi Bethanne. This is Blain. I have told my boss everything about me
and all my disability's. The medication I am taking, which has been
for 5-6 years now, has been working the best in controlling my
Epilepsy. Through out the years, I really have not been having
problems with memory like this. It jus started around 3 months ago.
At the last job I worked, around 6-7 months ago, I didn't have
really any problems with memory like this.
I had my second brain surgery in 2000. After the second one, my
doctor in Seattle put me on Keppra and it works the best for me. No
side-effects. Medications work different for everyone. Good luck
with your surgery. I'm sure everything will turn out great. Blain
