(((((((((Hugs)))))))))))).

Seizures and meds can both do this. I have always had E and started on phenobarb at 6 mo. I also have hydrocephalus and two kids, including one with autism, so there's a lot to keep up with. Thank God, I'm not on a lot of med now, and since I take it at night, I'm not as affected as I used to be, but I have certainly been there. The worst was in my 20s, in college, when Tegretol nearly turned my brain to complete rot. It's been 16 1/2 years since graduation, and I still can't tell you how I got my degree.

I don't have a lot of wisdom to pass along to you, unfortunately. I just make a lot of lists, carry a planner (and have to remind myself to write in it ), and am thinking seriously of getting a digital voice recorder. I would use it like a dictaphone. Maybe that can help you.

Get a pill minder, too. They're dirt cheap, and you can get them at any drug store. Just put your day's doses into the slots. It can help immensely.


Good luck...
