Hopefully, it's a new start.

This morning I went and saw a neurologist. I figured today would be the same as the past visit, and I get a contorted answer with nothing more than "we'll have to run some tests.."


I guess today was just different.


I was diagnosed with Epilepsy today. A diagnoses! Horray!


It's a huge weight off my shoulders and scary at the same time. I'll be on anti-convulsants for the rest of my life, unless I'm a candidate for brain surgery. I have an MRI December 11 to find that out.


After tonight, I'm not allowed to drive for a month or so. I need to let my body become adjusted to the meds I'm taking, and it's just safer that I don't. I'm not happy but whatever. The Doctor said to play it by ear, but he has to tell the DMV about my diagnosis. He also said chances of my license being taken away is slim to none, thank God. I love driving, so this is not going to go well for me.


I guess we'll see how these meds work. I'm praying for a miracle. Hopefully the meds reduce the number of seizures I have, or kicks them completely. I'd much have the latter, but even if it came down to a few seizures a year, that's okay with me.


I'm hoping =]
