A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Cleveland, TN

A year ago I was diagnosed with having seizures due to actually having one and my EEG coming back as "not too bad". I am not on any seizure medication at this time because the Neurologist said that I wasn't having them often enough to be put on any.

I would keep track of those tremers and get in to see the neurologist. He said he hasn't put you on no medications yet because you were not having them enough. But have you told him anything yet about your tremers? He may be wanting to putting you on a medication now. Especially if you are keeping track of them.
