Ok. I just got home from my appointment with the Neurologist. Man let me tell ya, the anxiety of this appointment was to say the least, overwhelming. My Blood Pressure was 175/110 the first time, and then the second time 158/108. Can we tell I was nervous?
Well, speaking with the Neurologist, he diagnosed me with Seizure Disorder. He also told me that I have NO driving priviledges for 6 months. SIX MONTHS!!!! Dayum, I really need to drive... I work odd hours, but I understand his order and wont drive. He said after 6 months, if I haven't had another seizure, I would be able to drive again. Thats comforting. I will have to depend on family and friends to get to work and whereever else I may need to go. It will be tough, but will be able to be taken care of. The doctor said that if in six months, I haven't had another seizure... I would get my priviledges to drive again since at that point the chances of having another one would be at 5%. WooT!
Along with all of this, he is scheduling me for an MRI of the brain. He wants more details of how my brain is functioning to further determine the extent of whatever is causing all of this. I will update on those appointments as they happen.
He is also sending me for a sleep study test to determine the extent of my Sleep Apnea that he said I have. This would be really interesting to see me with a C-Pap Machine and a cigarette. LOL.
He didn't put me on any seizure medication, but he did give me meds for headache and migraine reducers. He said this will help reduce the chance of migraines as well as any possible future seizures.
Crossing fingers this all goes away!!! :)
With Much Love To All...
Thank you for all your prayers and thoughts! I love you all for being here for me!! :)
