I emailed the neurologist the other day, whining and complaining about the brain melting.
His curt answer, "Stop the meds."
I basically, said, "Yeah, but, WHAT THE FUCK?"
He said something to the effect of: "But, if the meds are making you that miserable and scared that you're going to have a seizure, stop them."
What if I have THE. BIG. ONE. in Los Angeles Airport, and, and? No. Not just yet. The Dopamax is 'working' if I have not had a grand mal seizure since I started taking it. SO WHAT IF I FEEL LIKE MY BRAIN IS MADE OF PURE OATMEAL, that happens to be ELECTRIFIED?
He then suggested that I quit taking it when I get back from California, and I go back to the neurology unit for a quick stay with the EEG helmet and we try alternative medication. Because? Because, I have had way too many of the mini-swooshes while on this drug to say that it's really working for me, unless they are not really seizure issues, but then again, who the hell knows what's wrong with me anyway. (The swooshes were my initial complaint when I went to the PCP in 2006.)
I can only hope that we see something on the EEG when I get hooked up again. (We saw nothing in January, no seizure activity, right after a real live fall on the floor seizure.)
