Wink Aggrevated and clueless

I am 29 year old female and I'm currently seeing up to four doctors in Vanderbilt.
First I went to my normal doctor complaining of headaches and then seizures started being present. He had me have an mri done on my brain and he told me that it showed that I had changes in brain matter and something about ms. He seemed that it was important that I take my mri to vanderbilt to my neuroligist at vanderbilt that I see for my migraines. When I arrived she acted like it was stupid to even talk about ms, because changing of brain matter could mean anything. When I told her about my seizures, she recommended me to a seizure specialist there. I seen him and he thought my problems were right frontal lobe seizures. I did a 6 day video monitoring with an eeg and they said that since nothing showed up that it could be stress. He sent me to a Psyco-stomatic doctor that made sure I was off all my anti-cunvusant meds and said with his diet and meds (klonipin, adderall, and adivan( for when I have a seizure) that I should be better in 4-6 wks. In the meantime my seizure specialist had me go to a psychiatric hosptial for a test that took 5 hours. That doctor said that I was average in intelligence but my motor skills and concentration were poor and failing. He suggested that I see my seizure specialist again because he thought something was going on with the right side of my head. I am frustrated because my episodes(seizures?) have gotten a lot worse and my balance is horrible. I fall a lot and my eyes hurt a lot and sometimes they roll in different directions.
If anyone can help me figure out what to do next, it would be great.

Re: Aggrevated and clueless

I don't have the answers you are looking for... just a little advice.
Keep a diary of everything that you feel before, during, and after your seizures.
Keep track of what was going on in your life (stress, meals, general health, medications, etc.).
Take it to any doctors you go to.
Good luck!
