Hey (((((Lin)))) :hugbetter:

I'm sorry to hear you were so poorly and in hospital.... Having seizures the docs can't stop is no fun at all...

Hope the keppra helps you loads and gets those dreaded seizures under control!

Sending loads of healing hugs your way :grouphug2: :grhug:

Dear Lin :hug:

So sorry to hear you have been in hospital and had such horrible fitting problems :hugbetter:

I sure hope the Keppra helps and you don't ever have any problems again!

Do they have any idea if it's the lupus or APS directly causing it? If so are they thinking of taking a more aggressive approach with your meds or more closely monitoring your INR?

feel better :foryou:

love
Lily

Hi Lily, nice to her from you, hope your keeping well? The neuro said it is a result of the sle, i dont have aps.

I'm awaiting for an apoitment now with my own neuro in manchester, as whilst in local hospital they dont have one so sent one down from north staffs. He said it was complex partial sezuires.

i have not had the best weekend only had a slight do, but its the feeling of feeling like im fighting off something, and my right side still goes pins and needles like all weak, i dont know any more, its all left me not feeling sorry for my self, just feeling yuk and not belonging if that makes sence.
,
thaks again Lin xx

lin,
Sorry to hear that you have been having problems. I will cross my fingers for you also hope it helps. Keep the possitive thoughts sometimes it makes a difference. Remember one day at a time is all any of us can do. Good luck with new meds.

(((((((((((Lin))))))))))))

Good luck with the Neuro, as hard as it is I think you should remind him that things have not been very stable for you for a very long time and perhaps ask is there is something more that can be done - re treatment of the cause not the symptoms :hugbetter: I hate to see this go on and on for you with no long term resolution. If he is reluctant then a good long discussion with your Rheumy is in order stating that they think it's due to your lupus. How long since you had an MRA Lin?

I'm battling along, looks like I am going to be doing the botox injections for my dystonic neck, long wait but heck I've been waiting whilst they deliberate for years :wink2: Trouble is it may only give me 3-4 months relief and I will have to have them as a regular thing. Apart from that GP thought I had Carpal tunnel causing my numbness tingling and pain in left hand/arm. Neuro is not one to jump to conclusions so has ordered an EMG/NCS for mid December.

Take care Lin sending hugs,

love
Lily

Oh bless you so much for all your kind words, i really do mean that.
its took my confedance from me, i feel like ive been ill , trying to fight something off if that makes sence.

did get dressed yesterday but havnt today, i know lazy, i must try and get going, but today just wasnt the best day,

Lily they gave me an MRI whilst in there, but weather its mushed any more i dont know, maybe it was just the meds needing changing i just hope i hear from my own neuro soon, or they will be getting a call from, me ,

one thing my gp did say to me a few weeks back now was that him and my local rheumy said was that the sle had caused the seizures, and i would have it now due to inflamation i had going back a few yrs ago.

thanks again my friends ((((((((((HUGS))))))))))) Lin xxx
