I think the most frustrating thing about this whole affair with the seizures is the matter of the medication because taking the Topamax doesn't really SOLVE anything, it really only addresses the "what" instead of the "why". A really close second is the trying to figure why the seizures are happening the first place. The whole procss smacks of taking your car to the mechanic and saying "My car stalls when I idle at red lights" and your mechanic, an arguably smart man looks at you says "Alright, tell me, have you recently hit any deer?" "No." "Hmmm, that's important. Good good. Okay. Have you recently driven to Denver?" "Uhm, no." Excellent. Now, if I take out your keys, will your car still run?" "Uhm...No?" "Good! What I want you to do is put this diagnostic fuel in for three weeks and drive around for a while, and then come back and tell me if you notice anything different."
It's really like throwing darts in the dark. I give all credit and respect to my neurologist, but at this point, I'm ready to start going to a therapist and accupuncturist. I think I'm going to get more mileage and more help from them.
