Yes. All I revealed happened. May 2014. I emerged with a seizure risk but my eeg now shows a breach rhythm which is abnormal but non epileptic. I am not sure how to help you. I am always learning encouraging the neuroplasticity that began with this mess that happened to me. What I can say that is perhaps helpful is all the research I did and working with all my health care providers on a treatment plan together. I am not perfect but I do my best to do what they say. I am a retired nurse was RN. I was also a codependent which means I never said no. Even if I ended up sacrificing myself. I had a lot of trauma therapy and codependent therapy. I am getting this treatment again. I see my neurologist again early September and I will discuss a small reduction in my lamotrigine dose. I do not take much prescription medicine. Just 4.I do always try for the lowest dose for the shortest amount of time. I have 2 dogs who are my documented ESAs. I drive walk 3000 plus steps daily drive. The last time I took an antibiotic was 2020 for a UTI.

mdk1960, I take zero medications for my MDD, PDD, BPD. They simply do nothing good for me, just tons of bad effects. My injuries were worse than I thought. I didn't even tell a doctor about the head trauma until I had a migraine that I truly thought I would die from landed me in the ER. After the injuries the migraines were 20-30 days a month, some would last for hours, some for weeks. My longest with no breaks was 13 days, 24/7. (which I had 4-6 a yr, prior to the injuries). The injuries, as a PT put it, broke my body into pieces, like a puzzle, inside, but couldn't put the pieces back in the right spot. Oh, I just thought of this, I am Humpty Dumpty. 🤯🤪😵‍💫
