Confused New here.

hi all I'm new here. I am a 35 year old female. I had 3 grand mals about a month a go and have had some small seizures in between. I started having these jerking movements also and stuttering. I'm on 100mg of dilantin 4x aday and xanax at night or if I feel one coming on. I am a stay at home mom and taking a class on line with a very supportive husband. I had been having the auras even before the big one hit. I had been on lexapro becaue my oldest had been in the hospital in Sep. and I had to have something to get thru. My doctor thought it was that med so she took me off of that and I was off of that for about a month and had those big ones. The day I had them I wasn't feeling good at all and I kept feeling like I was having the aura and I couldnt stay awake long and I was vomiting all day. My husband came home and found me on the couch I told himI didn't feel good then I guess I had one. I came around and he told me he was taking me to the doctor I went to the bathroom and he had to change me becaue I wet myself then I had another one on the toielet. I remember after that going to the doctor then waking up in the ambulance and then at the hospital. So my doc saw me have one in her office. I really dont really remember any of them. My auras feel like I am coming off of anestia starting in my stomach and then moving up and then I break out into a sweat. We havent been able to get an eeg or anything else, because we are waiting for insurance thru my husbands job. About 2 weeks before that I was diagnosed with mono, I do not recommend this as an adult it is HORRIBLE!! At the ER that night when I was diagnosed with that the doctor said it could be 1 of 2 things luekimia or mono. Lucky for me it was mono. My doctor has been questioning possible MS. Right now there is just so much going on and NO answers and so many questions.
I apologize for this being SO long. I tend to get carried away. I would appreciate any input. Thanks
