Hello. I was just discharged on Feb. 22. Not much happened. The doctor forgot to order my Paxil. So I spent most of Thursday afternoon and evening throwing up. Needless to say, that didn't help. Although it did sleep-deprive me. When I woke up after a couple hours of sleep, I noticed that my heart rate had the monitor going crazy -- a fast beat and a strange rhythm. I asked the desk folks about it and they said there were EEG and EKG changes. Others I asked weren't so sure. So we will see. We didn't get anything really beyond an eye-blinking episode that even I didn't think was a seizure. I was stopped cold turkey on my medicine (both Dilantin and Keppra). I also have to get hooked up for a 72-hour ambulatory EEG starting March 3. And on Monday night I had another seizure out of the hospital. It must have been pretty bad because my lower back is killing me and I was really, really sore all day and really tired. My doctor said to push on with the transition to Keppra. So as soon as I find out anything I will let you know. It's possible that I may have to go back for another video-EEG stint for Phase I because I didn't have enough seizures. ... Thanks.
I forgot to add that the California DMV has suspended my license until a hearing is completed. ...
Of course, I told the insurance company for my vehicle and they reduced my coverage considering that the car won't be going anywhere.
