Uh~uh, that has to be wrong???

Today was one of those days that I just wasn't prepared for what the doctor would tell me.

"You have seizure disorder."

What?! I was so confused. I've been having seizures??? How crazy is that?! I didn't even know how to respond. I was honestly relieved to have a diagnosis that could be treated, but so perplexed at the same time.

Dr. Round had reviewed the EEG and says it is clear that I have seizure disorder. He believes it is the source of my syncope and blurry vision episodes. He also believes it is connected to the Churg Strauss. The great news is that he believes Keppra (an anti-seizure medicine) will be the perfect solution. I'll start the new meds tomorrow and should notice improvement within the next couple of weeks.
