Hi there,
That’s interesting about your memory. In people with Epilepsy, especially on Anti-seizure meds memory problems are very common. May I ask what symptoms your having that make you believe your having Focals? Do you think your experiencing Focal Aware or Impaired seizures? How long have you been having these seizures? Do you know where your seizures begin (Seizure Focus?) If not, hopefully the EEG will pinpoint the area causing your problems. Hopefully you will have some seizure activity during your test.
Have you had any mood issues since starting Keppra?
I hope you will update us on your EEG results.
Take care,
Jake
