I have Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus which means I have to have a shunt to drain excess fluid off my brain. Well,2 months ago I began having mini seizures and went to the hospital and had tests done and was constantly plied with Ativan and told it was all psychological and I needed a psychiatrist. Well,I knew this was bologna,so I went to my regular physician and after he and his nurse witnessed the episodes first-hand in his office,he said they were mini seizures and I needed to be on medicine. So,he put me on Dilantin and I was fine for 2 months. Then last week,they started again,so I had to go back in the hospital and STILL had nurses saying " This isn't a seizure because she's alert." So I was again plied with Ativan until my primary physician had the sense to take charge and realize that wasn't working,so he added Phenobarbital to my Dilantin. I'm scheduled June 4 to see the SAME neurologist who ran an EEG last time I was hospitalized,and part of that had to be stopped because I was having a reaction to the pulsing lights,AND when he came in and shined a light in my face I started convulsing then,which has NEVER happened to me in my life,so I KNOW this isn't psychological! Also the Phenobarbital is making me so sleepy during the day that I can barely function and have to end up going back to bed! PLEASE pray my doctor can cut back on the medicine and that when June 4 comes I can get the answers I DESPERATELY need to help me! I know I don't deserve God's mercy,but I pray He'll see fit to give it to me anyway. There's so much I haven't got to do yet. Please God help me get better! Thank you all and God Bless,and my prayers are with you as well.
