Hi @jennebabe
What a coincidence — I also have a birthday in November! And I can relate to your determination to keep living life as normally as possible — that spirit will serve you well on this journey. I've also been on Keppra since 2024, having been diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy in 2019 at the age of 48.
Here are a few threads in our group that might be interesting to follow and participate in as you get started:
How do you remember to take your medication?

Am I disabled? Now what. Can you relate?

What kind of seizures have you been experiencing? Have you been given a specific epilepsy diagnosis?
As @jakedduck1 has often said in this group — "epilepsy is just a part of us, but it's not all of us."
Please feel free to ask questions and share your thoughts whenever you feel ready.
Welcome again!
Chris

Welcome to the group. I'm so happy you're here. You will find that everyone here really cares and are willing to help you in any way they can. The people here are knowledgeable and dedicated to being a support for you. My son, Keegan, was diagnosed with MTS epilepsy in 2020. When he had his first seizure, I immediately began researching resources to help guide me in this new journey. I met @santosha, @jakedduck1, and many others who gave me such great guidance and support. I know you will find the same. So, welcome again and always feel free to reach out to others here. We're all in this together 🙂
