Default Another newbie

Hello everyone...just saying hello. Not sure where I should look first so here I am I am a 40 y/o female in sunny FL dx'd with neuropathy, 'seizures' and currently flaring up so feeling rather frustrated.

No clue what the neuropathy is from, EMG showed it in all 4 limbs, and we were trying to find the cause for some autonomic symptoms (elevated HR and BP episodes w/sweating and chills/shaking)...long long story short I was eventually found to have 'abnormal spikes on both sides of the brain' via EEG (both 20 min and 3 day) so neuro says he thinks the spells are seizures.

Currently taking Keppra which seems to work, at least for nerve pains/tingles, and time will tell about the other weirdness

Right now my knees are tingling, my hands are shocking me every time I grab something, my neck feels like it won't hold my head up anymore and my one eye keeps watering so I'm gonna grab a cup of coffee and browse what you all have got here.

Thanks for being here!
