G'day Gang Just letting you know I haven't shuffled off this mortal coil. Been very hectic over the last few months, I've shifted house, gained a major promotion at work, and just recently unfortunately, I lost my father. And through all these stressful events I've suffered nothing more than a few very minor complex partials, go figure. But it is great to see most of the old gang rattling around, GR, Julie, Dave, Mary et al. And it is great to see how Hilary has had such success with her operation, six months! Fantastic! I'll try not to be a stranger in future. Pablo > G'day Gang > Just letting you know I haven't shuffled off this mortal coil. Been very [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Fantastic!

It's been my experience that when Mary says something like: "Stick around" she usually has something up her sleeve!

Mary as long as it isn't a gun or a knife then I'm prepared to take my chances Pablo >>> Great to have you back - and to hear (most of) your news. >>> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Mary > as long as it isn't a gun or a knife then I'm prepared to take my chances I'm 100% non combatant. Well, I have my eating knife and a longbow but they're never used in anger. I have a tongue for that:-) Mary Hi Pablo. I've been busy too. Sorry to hear about your father. I got to meet the new Director of the Epilepsy Center soon to be up and running in Idaho. It was exciting to hear about his reason to become a neurologist who specializes in epilepsy. I asked about going off medication because I've gone for 10 years without a seizure. His advice was to get to a backup drug before I try to go off phenobarbital. I plan to schedule an appointment with my doctor next month and get a referrel to this neurologist. I told him of my fear of new drugs because of the last time I tried new AEDs. But he reminded me that it was about 20 years ago and there are a lot of new meds since then. Take care, Julie > G'day Gang > Just letting you know I haven't shuffled off this mortal coil.

When I was about 4, when I had my first seizure, the paediatrician that I was taken to see diagnosed me with infantile convulsions and put me on a combination of Dilantin and Phenobarbital and it seemed that I was doped out all the time, and this lasted for 7 years until my mother stopped giving me the Phenobarbital and all of a sudden I went from the lower half of the class at school to among the top 5 or 6 (amazing what can happen when you are awake!). I hope it all goes well for you and I guess he is right about there being new drugs out there and you have to think that they would/should be an improvement on many of the older ones. All the best Pablo > > Hi Pablo. I've been busy too. Sorry to hear about your father. > > [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > All the best > Pablo Thanks, Pablo. I'll keep you all informed about the change in drugs. I am so busy this month that I decided it was best to wait at least until next month. Julie
