Hi Bethanne. I was seizure free since May, but yesterday, all of a
sudden, I had 3 seizures. I've been on every medication. I'm on
Keppra and Depekote. I've been on Tegretol XR before but I just
became immune to it, just like I did with other medications. Blain

Blain,

Oregon for 11and a half years. I love it where I am as far as being
in the country here in Cottage Grove,OR. I lived in WA for 14 years.
then I got married, had 2 wonderful kids . then I divorced when I
found out my 1st husband was dangerous. then I moved to a safer
place that had a timed gate at the Kenmore Estates. Then I raised my
kids there til the end of 2nd and 4th grades. Then we 3 moved to OR
and stayed there til my kids were almost raised. I met my present
Hubby-Russell and married him 1 year later. We got engaged on 12-21-
02. We were married on 4-08-03. We have been going stronge ever
since.
> As for the drug Depakote, I have taken it in the past and it only
made me depressed. So I told my doc and within a few mos. I was on
something else. Now I am only on Tegretol XR and am decreasing each
mos with it. I am also on 1250mgs of Keppra. Now it seems to be
working some but the docs dont want to do anymore w/ it til after
the possible surgery coming up.

The place where I live at the nursing home has so many neat things
to do during this season. I really love it there now. I just hope I
can move to a low income place once the surgery and therapy is
complete there some time next year in Jan.

yours. Must go now. Bethanne
