Hi @tonyde
I am sorry to hear you have hit your head when you fell and had a concussion. How long ago did this happen?
Reading about concussions on the internet, the symptoms that can appear after such an incident are: headache, mental confusion, lack of coordination, memory loss, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, ringing in the ears, drowsiness and excessive fatigue. There is no specific cure for concussion. Resting and restricting activities allow the brain to recover. Headache medications and anti-nausea medications may be used to combat symptoms.
Have you talked with your doctor since you had this fall and your seizures started to appear again? If yes, could you share with us what he or she has said? Thank you!

My neurologist said the seizures returning is directly connected to the head trauma caused my the fall. My seizures originally came after a head trauma in a car accident 25 years ago. It took years to find the right mix of meds to bring them under control.
My doctor added generic Keppra to my seizure meds about 4 weeks ago, I thought it was helping, even though I was experiences more frequent small seizures, no major seizures requiring hospitalization. I told my doctor I wanted to stay on it in spite of it making me very tired and increased small seizures. Then I had 2 bad seizures a day apart, today I woke up with severe leg pain which can be a side effect of Keppra.
I've called my doctor, left a message about alternatives.

The fall happened in October 2023. My neurologist stated the change in my seizures is directly connected to a brain injury resulting from fall. My next appointment with him is May 21, 2024, I plan to my vomiting during that visit
