Hello everyone

I do hope that everyone had a Happy & Safe New Year.

For me it was not a good one. I have 2 grandmal seizures Thursday night and
spent New Year eve in the hospital. I just can not believe this happened. I
was feeling so good that day. It happened around 7:30 pm. The only thing I
remembered was when the complex seizure started. I became very scared, confused
and my right side was in so much pain. My fiance gave be two diastates before
the EMS (it took them about 30 minutes) came. When I awoke I was in a room
waiting to get a personal hospital room. I did not get one till around 2:00 am.
I was also unable to speak.
The next day I was unable to speak & think correctly and my right side was very
weak. The neuro. (Zuckemen) that my Neurologist in New Orleans (Fisch) spoke
with agreed on raising my lamictal - so now I take 750mg. aday when it was 325mg
before.
Since all this happened I am still having so many problems. My right side is
weak, I can not speak and think correctly, I am also hearing thins that are not
there. I also am having small auras and samll seizures dailing. So my doctor
has me taking ativan every time this happens. So for it has not happened today.
With me hear things happening to me after the really serious seizure in April of
2003, my doctor in New Orleans had me taking medication for it. He had put me
back on it.

I am still having a hard time believing this happened. I could understand if I
had been feeling bad that day. I wasn't.

Let me go for now. I am waiting for another phone call.

Take care







Ashley
