Ugh...here I go again - Epilepsy Message Board

Well, I spent the last 2 months saving money for a car, 6 months *high-risk* insurance, and a re-instatement fee for a driver's license. After FIVE years of almost being able to drive and then not, the doc told me 2 months ago to "go for it." I have a car, I have insurance, and I have an appointment for a driver's test! Last week...3 seizures! Today...one. So, Ugh, here I go again! ANOTHER 6 months! The doc claims it's in correlation with a cyst I have near a nerve directly under my left shoulder bone. ??!! I have to go next week for trigger injections and the week after to join a seizure study where he might possibly switch my meds! If it's in correlation with my cyst why change my meds? When the cyst is gone...I should be fine! I swear he's conspiring with the Drug Reps! Grrr!

Okay! I vented...I'm good now.

That really bites Kimba! I am so sorry to hear about this set back. Well, that is not a set back is horrible. I can only imagine how upset you must be. I would like to know how a cyst on your shoulder could cause seizures though. That will be interesting to find out! Hang in there & keep me posted.
Big hugs to you!
Kim
