Hi Kerry,

I did secretly wish my life ended there and then. I’m an atheist. Perhaps there’s a reason why I didn’t leave this world? I don’t know.

There are so many kind people here in this forum. All willing to share experiences and I hope I had done so in some way. I did a read up on CBDs only to realise they are illegal here, unfortunately.

Generic drugs are cheaper because they have a a little more “fillers” and less active ingredients. I understand why many stick to brand name ones. Public clinics/hospitals use generics because they are cheaper.

I live in Singapore; Taipei is a mere 4.5 hrs flight time away with no time difference. I might have considered Mayo if not for the flight time (≈15hrs direct to SFO).

My insurance coverage for this condition is gonna end soon and I gotta plan how should I navigate this. I don’t mind paying more if it works. I can enter US easily, visa free, seek treatment at Mayo if need be. For how long should I take this still more convenient route of staying in Asia before going elsewhere? I don’t know.

I’ll share here when I decide to go NTUH and finally end my local treatment. And yes, there are quite a number of popular acupuncture clinics in Singapore. TCM had a long history, and since it’a natural thus unlikely to clash with western medicine, I am considering giving it a try.

From the other thread regarding Briviact, many had shared their experiences and frankly some sounded scary. I’m to start on it tonight, 25mg first. My seizures are daily when it was once every 3-4 days, but intensity of each episode had decreased. But according to those around me, I looked noticeably more tired these past couple of weeks. I don’t know why.

I wish Keegan the best and the condition continuing to improve.

Cheers,
Louis
