Tattoo and Waves! How have the both of you been!! Well, the only reason he put me on Vimpat was he was going to try and wing me off the Tegretol since I've been taking that for many, many, years. See I haven't had just one surgery but 3 to help stop seizures. The surgeries have reduced my seizures greatly and I only have a couple a month now. I was told before my surgeries that I may never be seizure free. I was going to have a fourth surgery but surgeons decided it was to risky. As for getting a second opinion, I wouldn't change my Epi for the life of me, I trust him with my life.(compared to many other Epi's I've dealt with) I've been with him for over 15 years now and he is very, very, experienced in his field. As for my headaches, they aren't just caused by my AED's, also from other medications and the main reason is because of my surgeries. :-) Thanks for the info! I hope all is well with you both! God Bless!
