Be sure to describe what the sz. are like, find out what area of your husbands brain is triggering the sz. and if needed ask the neuro to do a veeg
(video e.e.g.) so they can watch your husband on camera to see what his sz. are like and whatever you do don't let the neuro push a lot of sz. meds on your husband because often they will do this to make money for themselves. I wish you and your husband the best of luck and May God Bless You Both!

So we went to the Nuerologist today for the first time. I don't know I guess it went ok. They are going to schedule a sleep study with EEG, and started him on Lamictal as they wean him off the keppra. He was unable to walk foot in front of one another almost fell, and then was also unable to stand feet close together hands up and eyes closed. Also nerves in legs not responding as they should so also scheduling a nerve conduction test That's new So I guess we're still confused on if he is having the seizures or not. Still feels terrible, but I guess we have to start somewhere
