I always consult with my Neurologist to make sure it is safe to get any shots or take any meds.
They don’t. It’s as much as a guess for them as it is for us. I’ve been given things that have put me into anaphylactic shock more than once. And they say, well it was worth the try. Not to me it isn’t! I’ve been given things that if I’d taken them, they would’ve instantly killed me. That’s why I always check- double check what the manufacturer says about taking them and what the consequences might be. I’ve gone as far as calling the manufacturer and asking them if they would prescribe it to me and what the risks could be. I’ve asked different drs - who don’t know me personally if they would prescribe them to me and why or why not. The dr’s have no idea if we’ll have an adverse reaction to whatever they’re giving us will help or hurt us. I was told I had to get the flu shot ( I was 30 and never had one b4) as there was a very bad flu and cold going around that had already killed some ppl, and being autoimmune compromised, I was told I had to get one. I was so sick the first few hours, broke out in a rash from head to toe and then I had trouble breathing. My coworker took me to the hospital and I was told that I was going into anaphylaxis and it was a good thing I got there just in time for them to reverse it. So when covid came around, I wasn’t allowed to get the vaccine or the following booster shots, and thankfully I never had covid. So it’s as much as a crapshoot for them as it is for us. They don’t know how we’ll react to whatever they give us and neither do we
Well, I know when it was brought up about my med first being changed Keppra was 1 on the list and to be honest I really didn't want to go on it at the time. There were another four meds that I could have ended up on but the way things went Keppra was the best option. I even looked into it after I was put on it and it most likely was. The only time I would of questioned it is if they had of tried it the first time when I was 4. That's not a great idea but still happens even today.
