hello - Epilepsy Message Board

Hi, Just thought I would introduce myself.
I am Dan, I live in australia.
My diagnosis is still being fine tuned but so far I'm down as having complex partial seizures.
I take epilim, which is in the depakote family.
Oh and I'm also schizophrenic so anyone who visits that board too may have read my intro twice (and it also means you can't always expect my posts to make sense).

Dan

Welcome- dad just got back from a trip down under- and loved it. I've got CPS as well, and have for at least 20 years. Am on Tegretol and Klonopin, but they still happen, so, I"m off work, which I hate- I miss co-workers since I have no friends here (moved here a few years ago to help with a sick mom, who unexpectedly died), so love the message boards.

Hey Ozdan

Welcome to the boards! On these boards you'll find loads of different people, with loads of different stories. So it's a great place to find advice, and give it too. I'm 24, from Scotland and have Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy which is reasonably well, but not fully controlled. I first came to the boards in 2004 when I was looking for ideas on how to cope with my lack of appetite, which I got on Topirimate. I got a lot of help, not just through advice about minimising weight loss, but also with my state of mind about my epilepsy. But the boards are also a good place to vent (about things big and small), with many people experiencing/having experienced what you're going through. But don't get stressed if nobody replies to a thread you've created. It just means that the people on the boards at that time haven't got anything to contribute to that particular subject.

Again, welcome to the boards, and I hope you find good help here!
