I have had two grand mal seizures, one in 2002, the 2nd in 2009. Both times I dislocated my left shoulder. My EEG's have all come back normal. Last year, after the seizure, I was dx'ed as having epilepsy as a component of MS.

Currently I am taking Keppra because my neuro says it focuses more on controlling seizures then other meds. Previously I'd been on Trileptal and Dilantin for seizures. Trileptal was also able to give me a bit of releif for sensory sx in my hands, I miss that.

daisy.girl I'm sorry you are having to deal with the seizures, as if, MS isn't enough of a challenge. Be sure and find a good doctor and get yourself on the anti-seizure that is best for you. Good luck to you.
