I am a 52 year old stroke survivor. I had my stroke 2 years ago 2 days before I turned 50. Great birthday present
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I am taking Keppra for my seizures. I am up to 1000mgs a day. My doctor is trying to get these to stop. The seizures I have are focal seizures. I am aware of everything going on and aware of my surroundings. I haven't had a real bad seizure since that first bad one. I do not have insurance to cover this and it became clear to me that I will not be able to have a job. The one question bothering me is, "Am I eligible to apply for disability to cover my meds, my doctor appointments, my daily needs and everything?" I realize I have to talk to my doctor about this and get him to approve. My next appointment is in December and to get in now, I have to get on a waiting list. I don't know how much more my doctor can up my dosage. I already feel like a zombie half the time. I'm scared to drive. Already had a wreck due to a seizure. Thank God it was just a one vehicle wreck. I ran off the road and ended up beside train tracks. My guardian angel was with me that time. Any suggestions or advice is welcome. |
