I live in Maine. I have had "transient spells" since a heart stress test a month ago that was inconclusive. During spells my right leg or arm goes numb and is hard to move and my tongue feels weird for several minutes a number of times a day. I have stopped driving as a precaution. I was put on Keppra to control these symptoms about 10 days ago when an MRI showed microbleeds at the crown of my brain. The spells continue and worsen, however, and I am going to have an eeg to look for seizure activity. After an hour or so of depression and flu-like aches after the first doses I have experienced Keppra as having only calming and antidepressant effects that have been very helpful with the stress of a new diagnosis and all the uncertainty. I really do not know what type of CAA I have although my symptoms exactly correspond to "amyloid spells." I hope to be seen by experts in Boston.
