Every couple of years I have seizures then my Dr wants to try something new or ups the dosage. The meds I'm on now are making me dizzy and off balance
I went out yesterday purposely and I'm happy again! I can't wait for this weekend! I'm going to finally do open mic again! Last time was 2020 and I blocked him. I spoke a little ruff to him first

I was diagnosed earlier this week (2-14-2023) with ostopenia in my left leg and hip. I am concerned that this condition may be a side effect of the Dilantin/phenytoin that I take.
