Lora,
hi, welcome to the site. I to have be
haveing seizures almost all my life. So
i'll try to ease your mind. I know with
myself its common for me to go through
cycles of them getting worse/more often.
Its the wonderful roller coaster we live
on. And after this happens (having
several in a day) your ability to remember
things, such as how to use the phone will
be hard.
There has been times when i've had
clusters of seizures and forgot how to
swallow when drinking milk, I got it in my
mouth and it just fell right out the sides
because I didn't know what to do with it.
I could give you many more exsamples....
Doing a new mri usually is only needed if
the doc things there is changes or if its
been a long time since the last one. Try
to convince the doc to try one of the
newer meds. There are so many now....
And the side effects are not as bad as the
older ones. For more infor on them go to
www.Epilepsy.Com
this is a relly good site for anything you
need/want to know.
Status epilepsy is when you have repeated
sezures one right after the other and
don't stop. Usually a drug such as ativan
has to be give to make the seizures stop,
and this can be life threatening.
I hope I anwered some of your questions, I
know dealing with this is not easy, good
luck!!!! You can reach me at
