Finally...a Perfectly Normal EEG!

I received the results today from the EEG I took this past Tuesday.  For the first time since I had the initial EEG - when they were still figuring out what was wrong with me - the results for this latest EEG were finally normal!  Yippee!  That was the last hurdle to normal functioning and health.

I will still have to be on the anti-seizure medications, but the dosage will be reduced and hopefully someday I will eventually be able to get off of them entirely. 

What a great way to kick off the Memorial Day weekend!

Brain Still Working...

Yesterday, I had my six-month check up with the neurologist.  She was  pleased to see my latest MRI results and that there are no changes - only scarring.  She is even considering reducing my dosage on anti-seizure medication - I didn't even have to ask her this time!  :)  It has been 2.75 years since I've had any seizure activity (and even then, it was only the one incident).

I will need to have another EEG first to ensure that there are no erratic brain waves still occurring.  If  the EEG looks pretty normal, then I'll be able to reduce the meds.  I'm crossing my fingers!
