As you can probably guess from my nickname, I have been on the fibro area. That is bad enough, but last april I went to the er closest to us as I had been throwing up for several hrs and had chest pain. My husband dropped me off as we figured i would get an iv and be sent home and i would call him. I was fine with that. Big mistake. Apparently i fell asleep in the room and they could not wake me up. During the ct scan i had a TIA, a stroke and 2 seizures. They put me into icu and did not call hubby, he found out 6 hrs later. I had another stroke within 10 days. I was in hospital for 3 weeks including inpatient therapy at another hospital. I was put on keppra
Ok, fine then in Feb I had 2 grand mal seizures at home. Was in hospital for a week. Have now gotten a really nice neurology as opposed to the other one.
I am now on dilantin. But am scared this will happen again. I am 49 years old. I had a fever related seizure as a child then one in 2009 as a side effect of clarinex. Dr said with my background, i was more likely to have them.
sorry for long post. I have cabin fever as i now have no job since april, and can not drive for 6 months (again)
Any thoughts or help appreciated.
