There are great number and caring fellow members here to assist you. Our shouders are here for support in many ways. Sorry to hear about your situation. I have had epilepsy since I was 10 and it was hard to control. Mainly i was having petit-mals. At this time I am on keppra and lacmitcal but has you said the older I got the seizures got worst. I would suggest that you take B12 vitamin, it has helped me out through the years. Aviod bright flashing lights, like at a theater Iusually cover my eyes at that time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Again welcome, looking forward to seeing you around.

Darlene
Thanks Darlene,
I do take B12, My wife will beat me if I miss a dose. I have noticed that if I am in a room with florescent lights, I get that aura. I have to wear dark sunglasses in order to go to the VA hospital, folks probably think I'm just trying to be cool (I wish). I had to have cateract surgery done on both eyes back in 2009 and when they do that dialation, it gives me a fit. I have know idea what meds they will try next. I just know for sure the Levetiracetam ain't gona work.

Thanks for the welcome, I'll be around.
