Default Starting Vimpat

Hi Folks,

I just saw my new Epi today and I was very pleased with her my former Epi retired. I've been taking keppra for a yr. now and it has stopped the clonic and complex partial sz. but it increased my absence sz. to over 100 more than last yr. so my new Epi has put me on vimpat and has taken me off the keppra.
I'm also looking into having more brain surgery done. I had a veeg done this past April and now they have found 3 different areas that are triggering sz. for me so the only type of surgery that might work in reducing or stopping my sz. is a neuropace device that will stop the sz. in 2 areas of my brain. I have to see my neurosurgeon and get things going and hopefully I will be able to have surgery soon. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

Sue
