hey everyone! I wonder if you could give me your thoughts on my current situation. I had a seizure a few weeks ago. I bumped my head, scraped my knee. I was sick sick when I came to. Crawled to toilet which was thankfully not too far away. Wretched like never before for a good while. Completely weak and sickly feeling. Coincidentally my niece came to my house while I was wretching and when I could get to my feet she helped to go get to my bed which is also fairly near (small apt).

I was loopy as heck the next day with a nice bump on forehead and cheekbone. The day after i still felt that way so I called neuro. They called back the next day. I am sure the residual confusion and emotional state I was in was due to a mild concussion. Neuro didn't want cat scan. So I called primary and he ordered one. I haven't heard yet what it showed. She put me on keppra and that stuff sent me through the roof.

[In the meantime, I get a letter from dmv. 3 months I guess until otherwise stated.]

I went completely manic/crazy and confused. It was the worse experience. I have never had anything like that happen before. And it lasted for days. So I called back, off Keppra. Days pass. I finally see neuro. She puts me on lamictal. I honestly thought all these "brain drugs" were making me insane.

However, in the meantime, my neuro had not seen me or spoken with me on phone. But her bimbo secretary did. We made apt for about a week later. by that time although I was still pretty manicky I was not confused, or woozy or anything. just a bit ticked off.

anyway, I would have appreciated at least speaking to her or waiting until my appointment for her to do that. I know its her license and liability. however, a direct conversation with me shouldn't have been too much to ask.

Obviously I am not dealing with this. I'm really ****** at them. I don't want to tell them a darn thing again. It will cost me more money in ins, transportation, etc. And my soc sec is under poverty level,. its high enough that I get denied for any of the "freebies" (no offense anyone) that are available to disabled people. And I'm broke. I don't even get through the month. I don't live much of a lifestyle. TV, grocery store, small errands. And now my world is even smaller. I realize there are many of you out there that are in worse situations, and I shouldn't complain. But sometimes we just have to have somewhere to share this kind of stuff. So I am thankful to you all (if by the time you've gotten this far into my post that your eyes haven't glazed over lol)

My life is diminishing...getting so much smaller and isolated. I am about to give up and just not care. Honestly, I went to this neuro with an open mind and willing to give her plan a try but so far I've had 3 meds that contradicted with my heart meds causing an apparent a seizure, and lost my DL. So far this place has done nothing but make my life worse. So in three months when she can sign the effing form to dmv. I'm done with them. Again. Done with "ms" drugs, and I'm done with being a human test tube.

Thanks for letting me rant.
