Well, it's a good thing I went in at 7am to my neuro appt. Keppra is now on my "VERY ALLERGIC TO" list. I have that icky rash, but being off the Keppra long enough that it's looking better.
My husband came into the appt so he could ask questions and help me remember stuff to ask. My EEG that was called "very very severely abnormal" is still bothering them so much that this Friday (Good Friday) I am having a healthcare company come over and hook me up to the 72 hour EEG. It's both electrode hookup and video (no audio, thankfully) and any "down" time I have has to be in front of the camera. Weird. Thankfully Medicare pays 100% of this. The dr. also switched me to Depakote. Will have to research around to see what everyone has to say about it. I appreciate you all and the wisdom you offer so kindly and so freely. |

Doc is exactly right. The itching is normal. A pain in the neck, but still normal. The rash is when it becomes a problem. Til you get used to the Keppra (it's a really great drug and I'd have like to continue but I got that rash), try take less hot showers and use hypoallergenic moisturizers (non-perfumed types).
