Hi Cresent Moon,
I've been on 10 or more AED's (sz. meds) only to find out I am drug
resistant to all AED's out on the market now. My Dr. did a DNA test on
me and matched up my body chemistry along with the enzymes in my liver
to find out I was drug resistant. The AED's that I'm taking now that have helped me the most is mysoline, Diamox, and Vimpat. I also take vitamin B12 once a day and that has really reduced my sz.

Before my brain surgery if I got to hot it would trigger a sz. for me especially when taking a shower but since that time I no longer have sz. do to the heat. The Dr. removed 75% of my right temporal lobe and all of my right hippocampus and this reduced my sz. 50-60% and now I have fewer complex partial and most of the time I just have absence or simple partial (aura) sz.

Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You,
Sue
