 Is it possible?
On November 1st of 1993 around 7 am I had my first seizure. I was 10 years old and it was thought to be an "overdose on sugar" from Halloween night. It was snowing and there was ice on the road. The ambulatory service didnt want to come out because they didnt feel it was severe enough to be called. When they finally arrived, I was into my 3rd seizure. My mother had no clue what was going on.
They diagnosed me later with Epilepsy. Grand mal seizures. They never thought I would "grow out" of it. Instead, I took every drug on the market for Epilepsy but found only one that worked. Amzingly it was Carbamazepine (Tegretol).
My last seizure (that i know of) was in May of 1995. That was due to stress, death of a loved one, and through all of it, forgetting to take my medication.
I stopped taking Tegretol soon there after. (I believe it was in Sept. or October) They told me that I had "grown out" of my seizures.
Now, I am 20 years old and married. I still have these severe dizzy spells and pass out rather often. I am concerned that it might be remnants of my previous Epilepsy. Is it possible? I am afraid to go to the doctor, because I am afraid he would laugh in my face for such an odd concern, but I am just wondering if maybe I do still have the Epilepsy. Maybe it never left, but was just dormant. Is it possible?
