I was diagnosed this week with epilepsy, I think their final decision is temporal lobe but in all honesty it was so much to take in and so much discussed that I'm not 100% sure. I had a second seizure at work and it looks like I've had at least 5 in the last 6 weeks - I thought I'd just been a bit stressed.
I'm absolutely terrified, how do I manage my new condition (I have several other 'issues')? I'm honestly scared to go to sleep right now in case I don't wake up, I know this probably seems extreme. I'm scared being home alone with my preschooler in case something happens while he's with me.
I've been started on Keppra, 500mg to start with increasing to 1000mg next week.
I'm probably going to keep coming back to this to ramble on, but I'd really appreciate some support from anyone else living with this condition.
