I had blood tests done. Important indicator - Valproate (is 4 times less than the smallest permissible limit)

In what weights? In combination with what drugs?

I was a minor when I was first diagnosed with epilepsy. I am now an adult and I went two months without taking my medication and didn’t go into a seizure. I heard it’s very rare to outgrow epilepsy as an adult but is it possible???

The thing is, I got some weird episodes. I know for a fact that I got tonic and myclonic seizures but there is something that is bothering me even more. Nowadays I got this weird thing, basically at times (especially near the evening or after… read more

Grand mal seizures are the same as tonic clinic. I’m seeing a neurologist next week and am interested in the fastest most effective medicines that have worked for those with the same issue.

Give me your tired your poor your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these your homeless your tempest tost to me I will lift my lamp to the golden door. Hint we as a country might be ignoring it.
