Smilegrl24,
Please feel free to tell us more about your symptoms. It will help us understand what your doctor is suggesting. The Lamictal sounds like a "Try this and see if it helps." It does not sound like it is based on any suggested uses. What are these focal seizures like ? What kind of doctor are you seeing ?

My seizures started out at feeling like I was having a stroke just the right side then I would freeze and shake for 2-3 mins. After being on the meds the stroke part went to just being numb around right side of face and some twitching then I would freeze and shake still 1-3 mins. Since off meds I'm told by my family that they can see it coming on my looking at my face as it changes and I get this far away look and I freeze with no shakes anymore. After each one I'm so tired I have to sit and rest and nap. But I haven't had one for a week and a half so I have hope there just going to go away. I see a good chiro 1-3 times a week and I've seen this neuro dr twice since my accident in May. I want to be refered to a dr in spokane or Seattle but L&I said no until I see there IME dr in November so until , I hope to find a good dr to see. So that pretty much sums it up. Sorry for this being so non intelligence but I can't seen to remember what things are called let alone how to spell them. As I tried writing back to you and I would lose it cuz it took to long to write. I can't even remember how to write a letter, I guess that's probally my biggest fear is I seem to have lost how to do simple things ![]() |

You say your chiro is good. Many chiros are too aggressive with neck adjustments. The "turn the head and pop the neck" adjustment can be too aggressive. Is L & I paying for the chiro ?
Oddly, I get the same amount of sleep at night regardless of the amount of naps I take during the day. If I need naps during the day, they are usually due to brain fatigue from activities during the day, too much reading, etc. btw, Sorry to hear you are stuck with Washington State L&I. They appear to get in the way.
